Simplifying Code

Hey

Could anyone give me a hand simplifying this code to use an array or something:

Right now it's a bit long winded and I'm sure I could use a loop/array of some sort to shorten it down and make it more efficient.

Thanks

 

Just a quick try:

<?
 $days = array(
 'mon'=>array('name'=>'Monday'),
 'tue'=>array('name'=>'Tuesday'),
 'wed'=>array('name'=>'Wednesday'),
 'thu'=>array('name'=>'Thursday'),
 'fri'=>array('name'=>'Friday'),
 'sat'=>array('name'=>'Saturday'),
 'sun'=>array('name'=>'Sunday'));

 while($row = mysql_fetch_object($query))
 {
  if (isset($days[$row->day]['value']))
   $days[$row->day]['value'] .= '<p>' . $row->assignment_id . '</p>';
  else
   $days[$row->day]['value'] = '<p>' . $row->assignment_id . '</p>';
 }

 foreach ($days as $d)
 {
  echo "<h2>{$d['name']}</h2>";
  if (isset($d['value']))
   echo $d['value'];
 }
?>

PHP:

 

I think this will do, untested.

<?php
$aMon = ''; $aTue = ''; $aWed = ''; $aThu = ''; $aFri = ''; $aSat = ''; $aSun = '';
$day_array = array('Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday');

while($row = mysql_fetch_object($query)) {
$rowday = 'a'.ucfirst($row->day);
${$rowday} .= '<p>' . $row->assignment_id . '</p>';
}

foreach ($day_array as $day) {
$prepare_var = 'a'.strtoupper($day[0]).$day[1].$day[2];
echo "<h2>$day</h2>".${$prepare_var};
}
?>

Depends on your server, this line may be not neccessary.
