Thread: Simple php calendar script

When you search from google for php calendar you will get lot of free and comercial script for this purpose. But my problem is that all those php calendar script is hard to implement and to modify. So I decided to create my own simple calendar script, and share to those who are looking for this kind of script and want to modify it.

PHP Code:

$x=$_GET[x];
if($x=="") $x = date("n");

$date = strtotime("2006/$x/1");
$day = date("D",$date);
$m = date("F",$date);
$totaldays = date("t",$date); //get the total day of specified date

echo "<table border = '1' cellspacing = '0' bordercolor='blue' cellpadding ='2'><tr>
<td colspan='7'>$m</td></tr>
<tr>
<td><font size = '1' face = 'tahoma'>Sun</font></td>
<td><font size = '1' face = 'tahoma'>Mon</font></td>
<td><font size = '1' face = 'tahoma'>Tue</font></td>
<td><font size = '1' face = 'tahoma'>Wed</font></td>
<td><font size = '1' face = 'tahoma'>Thu</font></td>
<td><font size = '1' face = 'tahoma'>Fri</font></td>
<td><font size = '1' face = 'tahoma'>Sat</font></td>
</tr>
";

if($day=="Sun") $st=1;
if($day=="Mon") $st=2;
if($day=="Tue") $st=3;
if($day=="Wed") $st=4;
if($day=="Thu") $st=5;
if($day=="Fri") $st=6;
if($day=="Sat") $st=7;

if ($st >= 6 && $totaldays == 31) {
$tl=42;
}elseif($st == 7 && $totaldays == 30){
$tl = 42;
}else{
$tl = 35;
}

$ctr = 1;
$d=1;

for($i=1;$i<=$tl;$i++){

if($ctr==1) echo "<tr>";

if($i >= $st && $d <= $totaldays){
echo "<td align='center'><font size = '2' face = 'tahoma'>$d</font></td>";
$d++;
}
else{
echo "<td>&nbsp</td>";
}

$ctr++;

if($ctr > 7) {
$ctr=1;
echo "</tr>";
}

}

$prev=$x - 1;
$next = $x + 1;
if($prev==0) $prev=1;
if($next==13) $next = 12;
echo "</table><b><a href = 'calendar.php?x=$prev'>Previous</a>                  <a href = 'calendar.php?x=$next'>Next</a></b>"; 


Great calender, by far the best and simplest I could find anywhere, although you need to manually enter the year and it can not change past the current year, the following simple changes I made fixes this if you want to add them...

change top from...

$x=$_GET[x];
if($x=="") $x = date("n");

$date = strtotime("2006/$x/1");

to...

$x=$_GET[x];
$theyear=$_GET[theyear];
if($x=="") $x = date("n");
if ($theyear == ""){
$start = 20;
$theyear = $start.''.date("y");
}
$date = strtotime("$theyear/$x/1");

and bottom from...

if($prev==0) $prev=1;
if($next==13) $next = 12;
echo "</table><b><a href = 'calendar.php?x=$prev'>Previous</a> <a href = 'calendar.php?x=$next'>Next</a></b>";

to...

$theprevyear = $theyear;
$thenextyear = $theyear;
if($prev==0) {
$prev=12;
$theprevyear = $theyear-1;
}
if($next==13) {
$next = 1;
$thenextyear = $theyear+1;
}
echo "</table><b><a href = 'view_calendar.php?x=$prev&theyear=$theprevyear'>P revious</a> <a href = 'view_calendar.php?x=$next&theyear=$thenextyear'>N ext</a></b>";

I think those are the only changes I had to make, gives the calendar much more functionality with very little change in code

Thanks spiral, and thanks gamebuster for those additions to the script. I've been searching for a simple calendar I can modify to link to an events database and this looks like the one. To make it easier to test I wrote a piece of code to get straight to the calendar:

HTML Code:

<form action="view_calendar.php" method="get" name="myform">
Month <input name="x" type="text" size="10" /><br />
Year<input name="theyear" type="text" size="10" />
<input name="submit" type="submit" />
</form>

sir this script had helped me a lot tnx...
i wanted to show you this little addition to your script..
.
.
.
if($ctr==1) echo "<tr>";

if($i >= $st && $d <= $totaldays){
if($d==date('j')) echo "<td align='center' style='background-color:#CCCCCC'><font size = '2' face = 'tahoma'>$d</font></td>";
else echo "<td align='center'><font size = '2' face = 'tahoma'>$d</font></td>";

$d++;
.
.
.

this will highlight the current date
