The problem is your notation. If you had written
if ($mo == 6 and $dy > 1 and $dy < 9) { $wd = "8"; }
if ($mo == 6 and $dy > 8) { $wd = "9"; }
your logic would still look a bit clumsy but work as you intend.
Why? Prefixing a number with a zero makes the intepreter believe you're
using octal numbers. Oczal numbers range from 00 to 07, the decimal number
8 would be 010 in octal notation. Your code, translated in decimal for
better understanding, is seen by the compiler as
if ($mo == 6 and $dy > 1 and $dy < 2) { $wd = "8"; }
if ($mo == 6 and $dy > 0) { $wd = "9"; }
(08 => decimal 0, 09 => decimal 1). In this case your last statement will
trigger for _any_ day in June.
