Dammit, that code looks right.
So ....
1. Have you tried it at the mysql console? What results?
2. How accurately does day match $day? Have you tried "=" instead of LIKE?
Maybe it's doing it twice?
3. Is day distinct? How do you know you have only one?
When you tested with 2, assuming i had a value of 1, was the result 5 or 6?
