Hello,
I've haven't been a member to this forum for more then 24 hours and I've already got some greatly appreciated help. But, now its the time again for me to ask for help. I used this a resource...my code follows this technique rather closely with some modifications to include a dynamic background change.
http://video.about.com/php/How-to-Create-a-PHP-Calendar.htm
Scenario:
So, I need to make a PHP calendar....Easy enough right...but there one problem.
I'm able to make the a "full" calendar but I need to modify the calendar to skip sundays... This means that all Sundays are excluded when making setting table. data.
So... the calendar would look like this:
July
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
1 2 3 4 5
7 8 9 10 11 12
14 15 16 17 18 19
21 22 23 24 25 26
27 28 29 30 31
Heres the php code that takes care of making the calendar....
//Create a varible directory, which holds information that is taken from the scan() funtion.
$directory = scan();
//Variables for the day, month and year
$date = time ();
$day = date('d', $date);
$month = date('m', $date);
$year = date('Y', $date);
//Finds the first day of the month
$first_day = mktime(0,0,0,$month, 1, $year);
//Calculates the day of the week that the first day is on
$day_of_week = date('D', $first_day);
//Sets the the day to a numerical value... Sun = 0...Sat = 6
switch($day_of_week){
case "Sun": $blank = 0; break;
case "Mon": $blank = 1; break;
case "Tue": $blank = 2; break;
case "Wed": $blank = 3; break;
case "Thu": $blank = 4; break;
case "Fri": $blank = 5; break;
case "Sat": $blank = 6; break;
}
//Calculates the days in the month
$days_in_month = cal_days_in_month(0, $month, $year);
$day_count = 1;
//This while loop creates the blank spaces before the first day of the month.
while($blank > 0)
{
echo "<td></td>";
$blank = $blank-1;
$day_count++;
}
$day_num = 1;
//This while loop is used to create a table row and table ddta.
while($day_num <= $days_in_month)
{
//If the $day_num is included in $directory new table data with corresponded .jpg will be used.
if(in_array($day_num, $directory))
{
$event = "images/_calendar/July/calendar/".$day_num.".jpg";
echo '<td width="145px" height="145px" background="'.$event.'">'.$day_num.'</td>';
$day_num++;
$day_count++;
}
else
{
//If $day_num is not included in $directory new table data will be displayed with the default.jpg
echo '<td width="145px" height="145px" background="images/_calendar/July/calendar/default.jpg">'.$day_num.'</td>';
$day_num++;
$day_count++;
}
//This will ensure table row in the calendar will only have 7 days to it.
if($day_count > 7)
{
echo "</tr><tr>";
$day_count = 1;
}
}
//This will ensure table row in the calendar will only have 7 days to it.
while($day_count > 1 && $day_count <= 7)
{
echo "<td></td>";
$day_count++;
}
Thanks,
