Calender Display

[anthill]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a simple calender. Using the code below It happily display teh day for each month but i can't figure out how to get the layour correct. I want something like

Mon Tue Wed Thur Fri Sat Sun
----------------------01--02
--03--04--05--06--07-08--09
...etc

Buts instead i'm getting

Mon Tue Wed Thur Fri Sat Sun
-01--02--03--04--05--06--07
...etc.

So the the saturday is lining up with the monday 🙁

Any help is much appreciated. I think i'm going about it the wrong way.

Thanks

Ant

<table width="90%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td>Monday</td>
    <td>Tuesday</td>
    <td>Wednesday</td>
    <td>Thursday</td>
    <td>Friday</td>
    <td>Saturday</td>
    <td>Sunday</td>
  </tr>
<? 

if(!$nav)
  {
  $nav=date("n");
  }

$time=mktime(12,0,0,($nav),1,date("Y")); 
$endtime=mktime(10,0,0,($nav+1),1,date("Y")); 

$myarray=array();

$j=1;

while ($time<$endtime) 
   { 
    $name=date("l jS", $time);
    $day=date("w", $time);

$myarray+=array($j=>array('name'=>$name, 'day'=>$day));

$j++;
$time+=24*3600; 
} 


    $records=count($myarray);
    reset($myarray);
    for($i=0; $i<$records; $i++)
    {
?>

 <tr><td><? echo $myarray[$i+1]['name']; ?> </td>
             <td><? echo $myarray[$i+2]['name']; ?> </td>
             <td><? echo $myarray[$i+3]['name']; ?> </td>
             <td><? echo $myarray[$i+4]['name']; ?> </td>
             <td><? echo $myarray[$i+5]['name']; ?> </td>
             <td><? echo $myarray[$i+6]['name']; ?> </td>
             <td><? echo $myarray[$i+7]['name']; ?> </td></tr>

Search the echo lounge for "calender contest" and you'll see how a few of us did it.

Lets imagine you have this array:

$array = array('mon' => 0,'tue' => 1,'wed' => 2,'thu' => 3,'fri' => 4,'sat' => 5,'sun' => 6);

You just check what day of the week, the first day of the month is, you can use some of the different date() variations for this.

Then you just echo the amount of <td>s you need or add the number to your current counters starting point.

for($i = 0; $i < $array[$the_first_day_of_the_month]; $i++)
{
   echo "<td></td>";
}

Sorry if its a bit light on the explanations, but im a bit tired =)

thanks tude-marie!

That makes a lot of sense, I haven't played with PHP for a while but its starting to come back. I found a good website with an example and messed around with that until i figured out what was doing what.

Cheers again

Or you can use the day-of-the-week output from Date(). You can then preceed your calendar output with that many blank days, and it'll lign up fine. That's how I do my calendars 🙂
