PHP does automatic type conversions, even if $num is passed in as a
string all those quotes around the integers are not necessary.  There
is no variable interpolation required in the day names so all those
double quotes should be single quotes.  A function call seems rather
heavy when a global array can be indexed more easily.  Even a switch
statement would be an improvement.
