PHP generating and naming html for calendar to mysql database

I have a PHP page where a user can select a month and then an html label and selection box will generate for each day of the month:

<?php $i=1; while($i <= $daysInMonth){?>
    <table align="center" style="width: 435px">
        <tr>
            <td class="style1"><p><label id="Label1"><?php echo($month.' '.$i); ?></label>&nbsp;</p></td>
            <td class="style1"><p><?php echo($dropdown); ?></p></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
<?php $i++; }?>

The selection boxes are filled with multiple names. The user will then select one or more names for each day of the month. I'm trying to figure out the best solution to match these names to the day of the month and get them into a MySQL database. I don't want to just have 31 $_POST['6'] submissions. I'm trying to think of a way to use开发者_开发技巧 arrays, but I'm struggling with determining how to keep names matched with the day of the month.

Should I use a multidimensional array? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Map every day of the month to an unique field name. For instance, if you don't care about years, then you can map day 28 of month 11 to the unique field name "11-28", and look for the data in $_POST["11-28"].

You can then write a loop that goes through all months and all days, and looks inside $_POST for the data you need.
