Looks to me like you'd be better off using an associative array, since
associating the count with the day of the week is the whole point. How
about...
while (list($count, $day) = db_fetch_row($result))
$lastweek[$day] = $count;
You'd have to tweak the logic of the rest of the script to use the hash, but
it's a more natural way to do it. Just a suggestion...
