Wildcards in 3rd party script

Question

I am trying to adapt a 3rd party calendar script for
operation on my PHP
site. I'm guessing that the script was writted for use with
Access or
something besides MySQL since it uses "*" as a wildcard in
the SQL (which I
can fix). But it also uses that wildcard in the body, e.g.,
if (($val['day'] == $cellValue) && (($val['month']
== $this->month) ||
($val['month'] == '*')) && (($val['year'] ==
$this->year) || ($val['year']
== '*'))) {
How do I patch that - or do I even need to?

Oh - I see. I thought it was a rather strange usage myself!
Hmmm....
OK - I'm going to have to look harder to see why I'm getting
an error here -

The referenced line is contained in this block -
<?php
class CreateQCalendarArray {
var $daysInMonth;
var $weeksInMonth;
var $firstDay;
var $week;
var $month;
var $year;
var $counter;
function CreateQCalendarArray($month, $year) {
$this->month = $month;
$this->year = $year;
$this->week = array();
$this->daysInMonth =
date("t",mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year));
// get first day of the month
$this->firstDay = date("w",
mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year));
$tempDays = $this->firstDay + $this->daysInMonth;
$this->weeksInMonth = ceil($tempDays/7);
$this->fillArray();
function fillArray() {
// create a 2-d array
for($j=0;$j<$this->weeksInMonth;$j++) {
for($i=0;$i<7;$i++) {
$counter++;
$this->week[$j][$i] = $counter;
// offset the days
$this->week[$j][$i] -= $this->firstDay;
if (($this->week[$j][$i] < 1) ||
($this->week[$j][$i] >
$this->daysInMonth)) {
$this->week[$j][$i] = "";
