I'm creating a web template for a photo calendar I want to create over the year. I really wanted to get the calendar photographed, printed and framed last year but lack of motivation and constant photography prevented this. This year, I'm hoping to help my motivation by creating a web calendar where the photos will display before displaying on my wall in countless picture frames.
Anyways, I've got what I think is the underlaying work laid out and I've already encountered an issue. I use two for loops to create the weeks and days of the calendar. 5 weeks of 7 days each for 35 days.
First for loops is for the weeks and the second loop for the days is located within. The HTML displays just fine when I have the week loop but when I add the day loop nothing displays. The page is white and the source as no content. I can remove the week loop and leave the day loop and still no content.
I'd prefer no critique on my methods (I know how static/dumb things are, especially for the days of the week) but only that I get this issue resolved at the moment. I'm going about this rather head-on with no tutorial trying to create a basic month calendar. After I get the calendar to generate I'll start focusing on getting it to start on the correct day of the week and so forth.

There are two types of people in the world: those who can extrapolate data from incomplete data
Perhaps you can send me the location of the error log for future reference.
