    • 'Normal Day' Doral Schedule
    • 'Short Day' Doral Schedule
  • Suggestions:
    • Have an SQL table named days or something better and have the following information for each of the school days:
      • date [Type: DATE; Ex. '2020-04-16']
      • type [Type: VARCHAR(2); 'N' or 'S']
      • day (or a better name) [Type: VARCHAR(1); 'A' or 'B']
  • Functions:
    • dayType($date)
      • Returns 'ND' for a Normal Day (7:30 AM to 3:30 PM) and 'SD' for a Short Day (7:30 AM to 12:30 PM)
      • dayType("") returns the day type for the current day.
      • Ex.
        • 4/16/2020 → 'ND'
        • 4/17/2020 → 'SD'
    • dayAB($date)
      • Returns 'A' or 'B', the type of
      • dayAB("") returns the type of day for the current day.
      • Ex.
        • 4/16/2020 → 'A'
        • 4/17/2020 → 'B'
    • per($date, $time)
      • Returns the period number corresponding with the given date and time.
      • per("", "") returns the current period (of the current timestamp).
      • Must take into account short days (use dayType) and if the day is an 'A' or 'B' day (use dayAB).
      • Ex.
        • 4/16/2020 @ 7:53 AM → '1'
        • 4/16/2020 @ 9:17 AM → '3'
        • 4/16/2020 @ 9:17 AM → '2'
    • sendAttend($date, $per, $facID)
      • Sends the attendance of the given date and period for the given teacher to the teacher's email.
      • Must distinguish clearly between who was present and who was not.
      • Use the sendEmail function to send the email.

For all functions, when an invalid input is given, die with a proper error message (Ex. die("ERROR: Date given is not a school day!");).
