[SOLVED] date

[ngreenwood6]

I have the following code:

 

//get the current month from the url
$month = $_GET['mon'];

//make the month into words
$real_month = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$month,$date['mday'],$date['year']));

//get the current month
$date = getdate();

//get the previous month
$date_previous_month = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$month-1,$date['mday'],$date['year']));
$previous_month = $date_previous_month['month'];

//get the next month
$date_next_month = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$month+1,$date['mday'],$date['year']));
$next_month = $date_next_month['month'];
?>

<div id="calendar">
<center>
<table>
<th colspan="7">
<a href="calendar.php?mon=<?php echo $date_previous_month['mon']; ?>"><<</a> 
<?php echo $real_month['month']." ".$date['year'];; ?> 
<a href="calendar.php?mon=<?php echo $date_next_month['mon']; ?>">>></a>
</th>
</table>
</center>

</div>

 

There is more to it but that is all that is in use. Now in the url it passes the current month in a number format when you reach this page. At the current time It is showing the correct month and year and goes back and forth. The only problem is that when you go past december it does not change to the next year or when you go to before january it doesnt go back a year. I am just trying to create a simple calendar just for testing purposes. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

My thinking was something like this:

 

if($date_next_month = 1)
{
$date_next_month = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$month+1,$date['mday'],$date['year']+1));
}

 

The only problem with that is that it only changes it for that one month. Any ideas.

You're better off passing both the year and the month in the query string... you can then do something like this

 

if( $_GET['m'] == 1 ) {
$prevMonth = 12;
$prevYear = $_GET['y'] - 1;
} elseif( $_GET['m'] == 12 ) {
$nextMonth = 1;
$nextYear = $_GET['y'] + 1;
}

Ok I will give that a shot but any other suggestions without passing the year through the url?

[ngreenwood6]

I tried your suggestion but it did not work. It did the same thing that mine did. It changed the year once and then the next month it went right back. Any other suggestions.

try

<?php                                  
$month = isset($_GET['m']) ? $_GET['m'] : date('n');
$year =  isset($_GET['y']) ? $_GET['y'] : date('Y');

$prevm = $month==1 ? 12 : $month-1;
$prevy = $month==1 ? $year-1 : $year;

$nextm = $month==12 ? 1 : $month+1;
$nexty = $month==12 ? $year+1 : $year;

echo "<a href='?m=$prevm&y=$prevy'><<</a> ";
echo date('M Y', mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year));
echo " <a href='?m=$nextm&y=$nexty'>>></a>";

?>

I will give that a shot and let you know.

Instead of fooling with manual date calculations, let PHP do them for you:

<?php
//get the current month from the url
$month = isset($_GET['mon'])?$_GET['mon']:date('m');
$year = isset($_GET['yr'])?$_GET['yr']:date('Y');
$passed_my = strtotime($year . '-' . $month . '-01');

//get the previous month
$date_previous_month = date('m',strtotime('-1 month',$passed_my));
$date_next_month = date('m',strtotime('+1 month',$passed_my));
$date_previous_year = date('Y',strtotime('-1 month',$passed_my));
$date_next_year = date('Y',strtotime('+1 month',$passed_my));
?>
<table>
<th colspan="7">
<a href="?mon=<?php echo $date_previous_month; ?>&yr=<?php echo $date_previous_year; ?>"><<</a> 
<?php echo date('F Y',$passed_my); ?> 
<a href="?mon=<?php echo $date_next_month; ?>&yr=<?php echo $date_next_year; ?>">>></a>
</th>
</table>

Thanks that is what I was looking for kenrbnsn. I will try to work with that and add onto it. Thanks for the help everyone.
