I made a calendar that displays on the top of my site that shows all the days of the week starting with sunday. I want to use getDate to make the cell of each day be the cell of that day for the current week. I need to do this because i an going to check a database for events scheduled for that week and have it display the events name on the day that it is occuring. Also for the current day i wanted it to have a different cell color.

I should be able to do the cell color and the database info myself but i really have no idea how i would go about making each cell be the correct day i want displayed.

Here's an image of what i'm trying to achieve

put the cells into an array
use the day as the key for the array
then do one of these matching the key
with today's day:

<?php
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
   if ($key == $today) {
      echo '<div class="bright">$value</div>';
   }else {
      echo '<div class="not_bright">$value</div>';
   }
}
?>
