Simply use some php conditions and all like

    <tr>
    <td><?php if(isset($_POST['day']) && $_POST['day']==0){echo $_POST['task'];;}else{ echo "-";} ?></td>
    <td><?php if(isset($_POST['day']) && $_POST['day']==1){echo $_POST['task'];;}else{ echo "-";} ?></td>
    <td><?php if(isset($_POST['day']) && $_POST['day']==2){echo $_POST['task'];;}else{ echo "-";} ?></td>
    <td><?php if(isset($_POST['day']) && $_POST['day']==3){echo $_POST['task'];;}else{ echo "-";} ?></td>
    <td><?php if(isset($_POST['day']) && $_POST['day']==4){echo $_POST['task'];;}else{ echo "-";} ?></td>
    <td><?php if(isset($_POST['day']) && $_POST['day']==5){echo $_POST['task'];;}else{ echo "-";} ?></td>
    <td><?php if(isset($_POST['day']) && $_POST['day']==6){echo $_POST['task'];;}else{ echo "-";} ?></td>
  </tr>

Make your form method post and if you are using get then use $_GET instead of $_POST
