I'm fairly new to using jQuery. I'm trying to omit dates from a datepicker calendar. 

I want to omit dates by using 3 separate formats: 

   (1) day of the week

   (2) specific date

   (3) date range

Each format above can have multiple instances, for instance, I can have all Tuesdays and Wednesdays blocked off along with a specific date and a few date ranges. 

2. $(function() {
3. $("#datepicker").datepicker({
4. dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
5. numberOfMonths: 3,
6. showOtherMonths: false, 
7. changeMonth: false,
8. changeYear: false,
9. minDate: 0, 
10. maxDate: '+12M',
11. selectOtherMonths: false,
12. // beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends,
13. onDate: $.datepicker.parseDate('yy-mm-dd', '2010-10-10')
14. 
    
15. });
17. });
18. 
    

This is what I have right now, but I want to implement PHP code

so I was thinking more in the lines of this: 

2. $(function() {
3. $("#datepicker").datepicker({
4. dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
5. numberOfMonths: 3,
6. showOtherMonths: false, 
7. changeMonth: false,
8. changeYear: false,
9. minDate: 0, 
10. maxDate: '+12M',
11. selectOtherMonths: false,
12. 
    
13.                 //      To omit specific dates
14. <?
15.       $query = "SELECT * FROM exemptdates WHERE type = 'day';
16.       while ($exemptdates = mysql_fetch_array($result(mysql_query($query))) {
17. ?>        
18.                         $.datepicker.parseDate('yy-mm-dd', '<?=$exemptdates[date];?>')
19. <?
20.       }
21. ?>
22. });
23. 
    
24. 
    
25. });

The same would apply for specific days and date ranges. 

Thanks in advance!
