[Resolved] date calendar

[siobhan]

Hi,

I'd like to include a month by month calendar on a form to allow users to select a date.

What is the best way to do this in php? Is there a free calendar application available that someone can suggest. Or maybe it is better to use drop down menus rather than a calendar?

Thanks for your help

Depending on the application, it may be easier to just create a drop-down list. It's up to you to determine which is best for your own need.

Now, there are some PHP scripts out there (they aren't that hard) and I believe suggestions have been posted here before.

Also, dynamicdrive.com has a couple of JavaScript solutions available too. Although, be careful of using JavaScript, because if the user is not using IE, or has the JS disabled, it won't function.

thanks!

I ended up decidign to use a drop down list for data input and this script (with some changes to the database bits, getting rid of javascript) because I liked the way it looked for displaying the data (found it on hotscripts)

I'm sorry, heck, if I had known this was all you needed, I would have sent you the scripts I have written for a calendar. LOL
