Generate a timestamp for the first day of the month. Then, using that timestamp, find the day of the week & get the first character. Increment your timestamp by 1 day using strtotime() & repeat. Continue until your timestamp is greater than the timestamp of the last day of the month.

There are probably more efficient ways of doing this with a for loop & arrays, but this'll at least get you started.
