Guys,
Does anyone know how i can get the current day highlighted on the calender?

?php
$monthNames = Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", 
"August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
?>
<?php
if (!isset($_REQUEST["month"])) $_REQUEST["month"] = date("n");
if (!isset($_REQUEST["year"])) $_REQUEST["year"] = date("Y");
?>
<?php
$cMonth = $_REQUEST["month"];
$cYear = $_REQUEST["year"];
$prev_year = $cYear;
$next_year = $cYear;
$prev_month = $cMonth-1;
$next_month = $cMonth+1;
if ($prev_month == 0 ) {
    $prev_month = 12;
    $prev_year = $cYear - 1;
}
if ($next_month == 13 ) {
    $next_month = 1;
    $next_year = $cYear + 1;
}
?>
<table width="400" border="5" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<td bgcolor="#999999" style="color:#FFFFFF">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="50%" align="left">  <a href="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?month=". $prev_month . "&year=" . $prev_year; ?>" style="color:#FFFFFF">Previous</a></td>
<td width="50%" align="right"><a href="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?month=". $next_month . "&year=" . $next_year; ?>" style="color:#FFFFFF">Next</a>  </td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<table width="100%" border="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tr align="center">
<td colspan="7" bgcolor="#999999" style="color:#FFFFFF">
<strong> <?php echo $monthNames[$cMonth-1].' '.$cYear; ?> </strong>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#999999" style="color:#FFFFFF"><strong>S</strong></td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#999999" style="color:#FFFFFF"><strong>M</strong></td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#999999" style="color:#FFFFFF"><strong>T</strong></td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#999999" style="color:#FFFFFF"><strong>W</strong></td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#999999" style="color:#FFFFFF"><strong>T</strong></td>

<?php 
$timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,$cMonth,1,$cYear);
$maxday = date("t",$timestamp);
$thismonth = getdate ($timestamp);
$startday = $thismonth['wday'];
for ($i=0; $i<($maxday+$startday); $i++) {
    if(($i % 7) == 0 ) echo "<tr> ";
    if($i < $startday) echo "<td></td> ";
    else echo "<td align='center' valign='middle' height='20px'>". ($i - $startday + 1) . "</td> ";
    if(($i % 7) == 6 ) echo "</tr> ";
}
?>

Something like this would probably work

<?php 
$timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,$cMonth,1,$cYear);
$maxday = date("t",$timestamp);
$thismonth = getdate ($timestamp);
$today = getdate();
$startday = $thismonth['wday'];
for ($i=0; $i<($maxday+$startday); $i++) {

    if($today['mday'] == $i - $startday + 1 && $today['mon'] == $cMonth && $today['year'] == $cYear){
        $currentDay = "bgcolor='red'";
    }else{
        $currentDay = "";
    }

    if(($i % 7) == 0 ){ echo "<tr> ";}

    if($i < $startday){ echo "<td></td> ";}

    else echo "<td align='center' valign='middle' height='20px' $currentDay>". ($i - $startday + 1) . "</td> ";
    if(($i % 7) == 6 ) echo "</tr> ";
}
?>
