Alternating values depending on day of the week

I am trying to change the variable for each day of the week and insert it into a table in sql, but I am having trouble getting the correct value when I cycle trough an array of 7 which represents the seven days of the week. I don't think I am doing this correctly.

$daysOfWeek = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7];

foreach($daysOfWeek as $day){

    $sql = "INSERT INTO tblUser (iUserID, iLocID, iDay, iFirstTime, iLastTime)
                        VALUES (:user, :location, :day, :first, :last)"; 

    $stmt = $dbh->prepare($sql);
    $stmt->bindParam (':user', $_SESSION['userID']);
    $stmt->bindParam (':location', $_SESSION['locationID']);
    $stmt->bindParam(':day', $day);
    if($day[0]){
        $stmt->bindParam(':first', $decFD->sunEarliest);
        $stmt->bindParam(':last', $decFD->sunLatest);
        echo $day;
    }elseif ($day[1]){
        $stmt->bindParam(':first', $decFD->monEarliest);
        $stmt->bindParam(':last', $decFD->monLatest);
        echo $day;
...continuing until I reach $day[6]

Essentially I am entering 7 records that represents each day f the week but all other information remains the same..anyone know how I can accomplish this? In other words when we look at the db we should see

  iUser  iLocID  iDay  iFirstTime  iLastTime

    1      151     1      2          8
    1      151     2      3          8
    1      151     3      2          8
    1      151     4      3          8
    1      151     5      2          8
    1      151     6      2          8
    1      151     7      2          8

iFirstTime would be a range of times from 1-10 same for iLastTime however i seem to be getting whatever day 1 is, I am sure it is because of the way I am looping through the array.

You run into trouble here:

if($day[0]){
     $stmt->bindParam(':first', $decFD->sunEarliest);
     $stmt->bindParam(':last', $decFD->sunLatest);
     echo $day;

 }elseif ($day[1]){
     $stmt->bindParam(':first', $decFD->monEarliest);
     $stmt->bindParam(':last', $decFD->monLatest);
     echo $day;
     ...continuing until I reach $day[6]

Instead of checking the $day variable, you passing the individual characters of the var into the if statement, (i.e. $day[0] = first char, $day[1] = second, etc.). Instead you want this:

if($day === 1){
     $stmt->bindParam(':first', $decFD->sunEarliest);
     $stmt->bindParam(':last', $decFD->sunLatest);
     echo $day;

 }elseif ($day === 2){
     $stmt->bindParam(':first', $decFD->monEarliest);
     $stmt->bindParam(':last', $decFD->monLatest);
     echo $day;
     ...continuing until I reach $day === 7
