[RESOLVED] Drop Down Calendar

stoneygossard

Hi,

Are there any free drop down calendars writte in php that can be integrated into e.g. a drop down box or something similar so a user of a website may select a date on a html form?

Thank you for the suggestion but that's not what i asked for.

LOL, stoney, in the long run, you'd be better off doing that, but I can appreciate your disdain for notaloser's response, as it was pretty rude, and not helpful at all...

Go to www.hotscripts.com and I'm sure you'll find something that fits your needs. (or is at least close enough to your needs that you can tweak it) Post back for help once you find what you're looking for and need help modifying/implementing/etc...

Thanks Defender.It's only an online forum and i suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion. As it happens, I do realise that hand coding everything myself is a better Modus Operandi but I am actually a Java programmer and am up to my neck in projecst so I don't want to reinvent the wheel on this php one. however, I am going to study php intensively over the next 3 mnths in order to become a freelance scripter along with some jsp but i just need to get a "quick and dirty" project off the ground for now. Anyway, thanks for the offer of help.

Bye the way, is there a built in funcion to truncate "nota" from "notalosers" handle?

with all due respect, my response was not meant to be rude. it was just my suggestion to go ahead and give it a try rather than ask other people to do it for you. not to mention that creating a thread asking a question like this compared to searching google or any other php script website seems to make a lot more sense since you are simply trying to find a free script.. this is a page to ask questions about coding for yourself.

With all due respect, the question was posted in the Newbie section by a newbie (as evidenced by his post count). I can appreciate what you are saying, but your post didn't answer his question at all. His question was a heck of a lot better than most you find, where the newbie asks someone to code things for them. Stoney was just looking for a resource for a free script. Not an unreasonable request, by any stretch of the imagination.

Stoney is a Java Programmer, not a PHP programmer; and sure we didn't know that from the original post; but what incentive is there for him to learn PHP, and join in our community if you post responses that don't answer the question and appear to be blunt, zealous and thoughtless? (whether it was intentional or not) If your response had appeared to be helpful, I would never have even interjected.

All I am saying is try to put a little thought into your responses, in keeping with the spirit of the forums. It wouldn't have come across as rudely had you written something like this instead...

"Sure, there are free scripts out there. Is there any particular reason why you don't just build it yourself, so you can make it more flexible?"

See the difference?

As an experienced programmer I feel i could do without your helpful tips.But forget it. i'll learn it myself and wont bother with this forum.thanks again defender but some people can't get over themselves.

Hey Stoney,
Don't let the actions of one discourage you from posting here. It's not representative of the overall experience one should come to expect here. This is a great forum to get help... You just caught someone having a bad day. I encourage you (as my original post suggested) to find one, and bring it back here for help when tweaking it.

Hey,

Here's a really cool calendar you can get online. Note, however, that it uses a lot of code from their website, and even if you just try to copy the first few js files, that is not enough, as those files have included files within them. And then those have included ones within them, and so forth. Basically, they want you to always use it from their server. But gotta admit, it is nice. From this link, you can setup your calendar with the options you like, and then it gives you the code needed to use it:

OK guys,

Thank you. Will give it a go as I have been reading this forum and it appears to be a very good resource.

Thanks again.
