        $query = "UPDATE class SET Time_Slot_idTime_Slot = '$time',Course_idCourse = '$name',exam_date = '$exam',closing_date = '$closing',";
        $query = $query."day$1 = '$daya[$1]'";
        $query = $query."where idClass = ' ". $_GET['id'] ." '";
        $echo $query;
        $result = mysqli_query($link,$query) or die(mysqli_error($link));

$query = "UPDATE class SET Time_Slot_idTime_Slot = '$time',Course_idCourse = '$name',exam_date = '$exam',closing_date = '$closing',";
$query = $query . "day$1 = '$daya[$1]' "; // <-- you were missing a space here
$query = $query . "where idClass = '". $_GET['id'] . "'"; // <-- too many spaces here

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in C:\xampp\htdocs\FYP\doUpdateClass.php on line 24

this is the error i got

day$1

What is this? Is thia a variable?

Change line 2:

$query = $query . "day$i = '$daya[$i]' ";

I guess you want to use $i, it could be another variable, but NOT $1
