<td> Thursday </td>
<td> Friday </td>
<td> Saturday </td>
<td> Sunday </td>

Re: PHP error
That is one of the reasons I discourage mixing of HTML and PHP (<p><?php echo 'hi'; ?></p> for example).
This should fix it:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Cycling Calender</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$my_t=getdate(date("U"));
print("$my_t[weekday], $my_t[month] $my_t[mday], $my_t[year]");
?>
[color=red]<table border="1px">[/color]
<th> <?php print("$my_t[month]"); ?> </th>
<tr>
<td> Monday </td>
<td> Tuesday </td>
<td> Wednesday </td>
<td> Thursday </td>
<td> Friday </td>
<td> Saturday </td>
<td> Sunday </td>
</table>
</body>
</html>Make sure that the HTML and PHP are well defined (and possibly use a syntax highlighter, Notepad++ is good). Don't put HTML inside PHP (unless it's an echo/print or PHP commands inside HTML (unless they are inside <?php echo 'commands here'; ?>).

How do you manage that? In order to get output, you either have to:
1) put <?php?> tags in HTML; or
2) echo HTML tags in PHP
Echoing HTML from PHP is kinda icky, so I usually go with 1).
I think I understand what you mean, though—I wrote a framework that lets me do something like this: (Yeah, I know it's a total copy of Django 
)
/app/hello_world/views.php
<?php
$hello_world = function () {
return render_template('hello_world/hello_world.php', array(
'message' => 'Hello, World!',
'log' => array(
'Example 1',
'Example 2',
),
));
};
/app/hello_world/templates/hello_world.php
<?php $extend('hello_world/base.html')?>
<?php $block('content')?>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p><?=htmlspecialchars($message)?></p>
<h1>Log</h1>
<?php foreach ($log as $item):?>
<div><?=htmlspecialchars($item)?></div>
<?php endforeach?>
<?php $endblock()?>
It helps one separate presentation (templates) from business logic (views).
P.S. <?=?> is not considered a short tag anymore, and is always enabled, so you can feel free to use <?=…?> as a shortcut for <?php echo …?>; it helps make templates more readable.

I mean mixing PHP inside HTML rather than putting HTML inside PHP (echo, $variables, etc). I think it gets really messy if you don't know exactly what you are doing. I'll admit I've started doing a little of it, but only for really large chunks of HTML code (CSS I just put into a .css file) where inserting PHP isn't needed. The start of a page for example:
Code:
{doctype}
<html>
<head>
<?php
//PHP code here
?>
</body>
</html>If you are using an array of items, you may as well just generate the HTML for it instead.

Ok so rather than putting html inside php you put php inside html...
I use textwrangler BTW - allows you to edit the file directly on the server

Sorry, that's backwards, "Don't put PHP inside HTML, only HTML in PHP."
