I see a number of typo's in the following code.

What are you trying to do here?
Should this...
> $filename="$1.['month'].['year']";
Be this...
$filename=$i."['month'].['year']";
Plus, where are you actually using the previous line at?

Should you have "weight$i[]" in the previous line? This will break a few things
I think.

Over all, simply put, if you do not number the indexes of your array, you will
not be able to have a 1 to 1 association in your submitted array(s)
BTW: I would try and use the heredoc syntax in your example... Makes things way
cleaner!
echo <<<DAY
<div class="{$style}">{$i}<br /><br />
<label><small>Point Weighting: </small></label>
<input type="text" name="days[{$i}][weight]" size ="3" maxlength="3" /><Br /><br />
<label><small>Check Day Off: </small></label>
<input type="checkbox" name="days[{$i}][dayoff]" value="{$i}" /><br />
</div>
DAY;
Now, on your input side. Try it a few times to see what you get and I think you
will be able to figure out how to eliminate the days that were not selected /
checked.
