While loops to build an array

["S.D.Price" <S.D.Price@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I wonder if you could help. I am trying to build a php based
calendar for a news blog. The calendar should create hyperlinks directly
to a news story. However in order to do this I need to create a $days
array which takes the date value of the story submitted and the id of
the story and creates a dynamic link.

Howver I am finding it difficult to generate the array using a while
loop - do you know a better way?. 


if (mysql_num_rows($result3) > 0) {	
		
		$days = array(        
		     while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result3)) {
		                date(j,
$row3['entry_date'])=>array($row3['newsid']),;
		              }		
		);
		  
		 
     }
   
else {   
       echo "<p>The array has not been built.</p>";
   
     }
	 
echo generate_calendar($year, $month, $days);

Thanks

Steven
