Calendar Funtion

wrgill999

hi.

i'm wondering if there is a fairly easy way to figure out the calendar for any given month or year.

i want to build a calendar application...that looks like a calendar, so i need to be able to auto generate which day is which date...how many days are in the month if it is february etc.

are there built in functions for this?

thanks.

not sure exactly what you want for sures, but there are many php calendar sources out there pre-built

here is the one i usually use, it is nice and has places where peeps can put appointments on there and such

i found this one at www.hotscripts.com

in case anybody cares, i figure it out. not the prettiest code, but it will generate a calendar for any year from the present on.

this php page assumes that you have a page passing it the $setmonth and $setyear variables.

<?
@$startnow="";
if (!@$setmonth){@$setmonth=date("n");}
if (!@$setyear){@$setyear=date("Y");}

$time=mktime(0,0,0,$setmonth,1,date($setyear));

$endtime=mktime(0,0,0,$setmonth+1,1,date($setyear));
$i=1;
while ($time<$endtime) {

$thedate[$i]=date("M j", $time);
$time=mktime(0,0,0,$setmonth,1+$i,date($setyear));
$i++;
}
$time=mktime(0,0,0,$setmonth,1,date($setyear));

if (@$startnow){

			if(@$thedate[@$startnow]){
			echo "<font color=yellow><b>".@$thedate[@$startnow]."</font>";

				if(!@$thedate[@$startnow+1])
					{ @$done="1"; }
			@$startnow++;
		} else {echo "";}



		} else if ($d==date("w", $time)){
			echo "<font color=yellow><b>".@$thedate[1]."</font>";@$startnow=2;
		} else {echo "";}
	$d++;
