[Brian O'Connor]

I'm a little confused as to what you're doing here:

$i = $day;
$curday = $day + $i;
if($curday == 7) {
       $i = 0;
       $curday = 6;
}

If the current day is Saturday, then the $day variable will hold 6 (I
believe).

You're then saying that $curday has a value of 12, (because you're adding
$i, which has an initial value of 6), which shouldn't happen (I don't think
at least), which in effect would bypass the check if $curday is 7.

Hope that helps shed some light on why the code is acting weird.
