real-time scheduling calendar

[Anon]

Hi folks,

I've programmed some simple PHP-enabled pages before, but now I've been asked to develope a scheduling calendar for a website that keeps track of appointments in real-time. So if some schedules an appointment from say 1pm til 3pm through a webpage form, then the calendar will instantly update so others can see that 1pm til 3pm is already filled.

My question is, how difficult would this be, and is there any sample code out there that I could take ideas from?

Thanks

you will need to use a database or a flat file to store the appointment information. For a database take your pick: Mysql, Minisql, Postgresql, etc.

Hey, everybody:

Can we please cut back on the practice of posting into
multiple discussion forums? Pick your best guess as to
the most appropriate forum and give us your best shot!
Why would we all (who, I'm willing to bet, almost all
look at General and Coding) want to see your query
multiple times?

Why would we want to hear you bitch about it, if all we are doing is reading posts

Hi all,
I work on web based calendar. I have events in table events, with
fields like name, date, time.
I need to implement feature (there is admin form for editing and
adding events) repeating events, like weekly, monthly, yearly, as
option for events.

I don't know how to implement this effective.
One way is to fill the table with future events (from repeating, like
every week), but this crowd the table fast, and I don't know how
manage repeating events without end date.

If I use an atribut for repeating event, the problem will be at time of
displaying, it's really time consuming to review whole table for
repeating events and compute if the event lapse into displayed
period (like month).

Any idea how to solve this taks?
