Calendar

I need some help in getting a function that will display a table with 3 rows, which are 3 weeks, the current week(based off the server clock) and the next 2 weeks. It will obviously be 7 columns wide(as there are 7 days in a week.
Thanks.

The first function is one of my std utilities and will give the timestamp of the last Sunday prior to today. Checks to see how far into the week we are then subtracts that many days to get sunday.

Once you have that its just a couple nested loops for weeks and days.

function lastSunday() {
	$da = getdate(time());
	$ndays = $da["wday"];
	return time() - ($ndays * 24 * 60 * 60);
}

function printWeeks() {
  $start = lastSunday();
  echo "<table border=\"1\">";
  for ($w = 0; $w < 3; $w++) {
    echo "<tr>";
    for ($d=0; $d<7; $d++) {
      $dstr = date("M d",$start + ($w*7 + $d) * 24*3600);
      echo "<td>$dstr</td>";
    }
    echo "</tr>";
  }
  echo "</table>";
}

thank you very much.

This is like a Outlook calendar. It is easy and reconizable.

Here is a calendar that I wrote not too long ago, not sure if it'll help you or not, but here it is: http://gagon.net/calendar/. Source code available here: http://gagon.net/calendar/index.phps. The code is kind of sloppy, and not commented very well right now... let me know if you have any questions.

Them are some nice calanders...that second one, from rontagoff(sorry if spelling is wrong) is actually very close to what I need to eventually do. Thank you guys for posting those
You see, basically I need to have an scheduling calendar.
Changing slightly based on what I saw from you guys...
It is ideally going to be the calendar for the month with selectable days(like the grayed ones of yours) where people can add a name to a predefined time slot on that day(I think there will be 8 time slots per day, only on weekdays...) They will also need to be able to delete the names or move their time to another unfilled time...
I have never really worked with PHP, but tried to on two occasions before not really having enough time to learn anything. So any help getting there is great. And letting me know if any of those desires are not possible, would be appreciated.
And if anyone knows the best php "compilier"(or interpreter, whichever php does) to use for testing on my computer while i design it, or assimilate code from others like you guys, who have really neat looking calendars, please let me know where I can get it.(Free would be best.)

Well I made it from scratch, it has a backend that allows multiple items per date. Your idea sounds fine and very possible. Good luck. Thanks for your comments.

That what I have in mind for my calendar as well. I wrote it all from scratch so I could format it exactly how I wanted. I got the part that generates the calendar working... then just kind of put it aside. Haha. Eventually I'm going to turn it into a full blown scheduling system, with user accounts, reminders, event spanning, etc.

To answer your question about developing on your computer, I would say just install a webserver (http://apache.org), and then install PHP to work with it. It's fairly easy to setup... and if you use apache (as opposed to IIS), it doesn't take up hardly any system resources.

demo:
http://webcalendar.sourceforge.net/demo/month.php?date=20030101

is very good and the guy who maintains it will help you out.

keyurjbhatt

yes i have used database behind that
ultimatly i want to use calander control like outlook express which will be run on any machine.
i want to return value from that control and use it in text filed by selecting data from that.
small popup window box should appear when i click on that calander icon so where user can select his birthdate or anniversary date from it.
and selected value would be there in textbox which is near by that calander control icon
