Calendars

First of all try to collect the necessary information which are important to display the actual month and highlight the actual day. Besides this we want to display the actual month and year informations as well. To do this we need 3 special days informations: 1. The actual day 2. The first day of the actual month 3. The last day of the actual month

This tutorial will explain how to create a dynamic calendar from scratch in PHP. There are two functions that will greatly simplify the process: mktime and getdate. The function mktime gets a Unix timestamp from the supplied arguments hour, minute, second, month, day, and year (each defaulting to the current). The function getdate is the opposite, turning a timestamp into an array of date information. See the manual pages (linked) for more information on these functions. Using these functions, it is fairly easy to gather all the information needed to create a dynamic calendar.

This script creates a PHP calendar of events that uses an overlib effect to indicate new events--Javascript must be enabled. The script main class myEventsCalendar.php allows you to add multiple events for each day in a year by calling a simple addEvent method. The calendar then shows a preview of the event in an overlib effect as well as a detail page for further information. For this calendar you are going to need a file to test the main class, and also include the required js. Finally, further modifications to the script are possible once you learn how to use the main class, e.g. adding features, integrating the script to a MySql database etc..

In this tutorial I will show you how to create a calendar script in PHP. We will create a simple but good looking - easy customizable via CSS - calendar table.
