Hi---Can someone out there tell me what's wrong with this code? The date selection boxes are working perfectly (with one exception that the day box starts out with 1 instead of the current or posted day).
The problem comes in when the form submits--now the previous start date value becomes unset. This silly little problem is hanging up my entire event calendar system. Many thanks to whoever can wring this out!
In a simplified, boiled-down version, here it is...
<?php require_once('../Connections/conn_dbname.php');
///////////////////////////////?????
//parts are either set or not set; initialize what's displayed in selection boxes
if (isset($_GET[date])){
$eventDate = $_GET[date];
} else if(isset($_POST['eventDate'])){
$eventDate = $_POST['eventdate'];
} else {
$eventDate = time();
}
$startDate = $eventDate;
////////////////////////???????????????
if(!(isset($_POST['endingDate']))){
$endingDate = $startDate;
}
$day = date('j', $endingDate);
$month = date('n', $endingDate);
$year = date('Y', $endingDate);
//prepares form to display correct dates for months selected
if (isset($_POST['month']) && is_numeric($_POST['month']) &&
((int)$_POST['month'] >= 1 && (int)$_POST['month'] <= 12)) {
$month = (int)$_POST['month'];
} else {
$month = date('n', $endingDate);
}
if (isset($_POST['year']) && is_numeric($_POST['year']) &&
((int)$_POST['year'] >= 2007 && (int)$_POST['year'] <= 2015)) {
$year = (int)$_POST['year'];
} else {
$year = date('Y', $endingDate);
}
///////????? No difference when following code is added
if (isset($_POST['day']) && is_numeric($_POST['day']) &&
((int)$_POST['day'] >= 1 && (int)$_POST['day'] <= 31)) {
$day = (int)$_POST['day'];
} else {
$day = date('j', $endingDate);
}
/////
