How can I do this?

I have created an availability calender, however I built this the hard way. When the word check is found next to the date in the database the number turns bold with a strikethorugh.
I ended up putting together a whole page like this from jan1-dec31st which was a lot of hard work.

<? if ($jan1==''){ ?>1
<? } elseif ($jan1=='check') { ?>
<s>1</s><s>
<? } ?>

Is their a way of creating a calender with these statments inside, so instead of using about 500 lines of code lol, it can all be passed through some smaller code. The code as I said needs to create a calender and where each variable needs be automatically created, i.e $jan1,$jan2 and so on up to $dec31

Some code examples from any of you guys would be great.
Many Thanks

Use an array.
For example,

<? if ($jan[0]==''){ ?>1
<? } elseif ($jan[0]=='check') { ?>
<s>1</s><s>
<? } ?>

You can also dynamically build a variable,

$jan1 = "Jan 1";
$jan2 = "Jan 2";
$jan3 = "Jan 3";

for ($i = 1; $i <= 31; $i++) {
//Create a dynamic variable
$temp = "jan".$i;
echo(${$temp});
echo (" ");
}
