3 day calendar color changes

wsdcmke

hi-

Im trying to add the finishing touches to a color-coded 3 day calendar (ie. day 1=red, day 2=green, day 3 =blue) and it repeats that way each day of the year and beyond...

The idea is to get the colors to switch the highlighted day every 24 hours.

However I have a prob...


$today = date("H");
	$tdbgcolor = array(
           "#009900", "#cc0000", "#0000ff"
           );

    $highlight = date('d',mktime(0,0,0,$the_month,$day,$the_year)) == date('d') ? $dayhighlightcolor : $tdbgcolor;
    $output->Text('<td bgcolor="'.$highlight.'" align="center" valign="top">');

Any ideas?

Without knowing what your problem is, or what the code you've posted is intended to do (switch between some special highlighting and the three-day pattern?) you'll basically need to keep track of what yesterday's tdbgcolor was and from that work out what today's is. If yesterday's was $tdbgcolor[$foo], then today's is $tdbgcolor[($foo+1)%3]. So set $foo=($foo+1)%3; each time you want to go on to a new colour, and then $tdbgcolor[$foo] will be the one you want.
