[SOLVED] Using a calendar to go to next month. HOW?!

iPixel · May 8, 2009

So i've got this awesome easy and simple calendar script.

It shows the current month, it's days in a nice neat fashion.

Exactly what i want, now i just want to add onto it and allow the user to view previous and next months.

Here's my script - I need help figuring out how to tell it to show next and previous months.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
table {
    width:210px;
    border:0px solid #888;    
    border-collapse:collapse;
}

td {
    width:30px;
    border-collpase:collpase;
    border:1px solid #888;
    text-align:right;
    padding-right:5px;
}

.days{
    background-color: #F1F3F5;
}

th {
    border-collpase:collpase;
    border:1px solid #888;
    background-color: #E9ECEF;
}

.actday{
    background-color: #c22;
    font-weight:bold;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<?php
function showCalendar(){
    // Get key day informations. 
    // We need the first and last day of the month and the actual day
    $today    = getdate();
    $firstDay = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$today['mon'],1,$today['year']));
    $lastDay  = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$today['mon']+1,0,$today['year']));
    
    
    // Create a table with the necessary header informations
    echo '<table>';
    echo '  <tr><th colspan="7">'.$today['month']." - ".$today['year']."</th></tr>";
    echo '<tr class="days">';
    echo '  <td>Mo</td><td>Tu</td><td>We</td><td>Th</td>';
    echo '  <td>Fr</td><td>Sa</td><td>Su</td></tr>';
    
    
    // Display the first calendar row with correct positioning
    echo '<tr>';
    for($i=1;$i<$firstDay['wday'];$i++){
        echo '<td> </td>';
    }
    $actday = 0;
    for($i=$firstDay['wday'];$i<=7;$i++){
        $actday++;
        if ($actday == $today['mday']) {
            $class = ' class="actday"';
        } else {
            $class = '';
        }
        echo "<td$class>$actday</td>";
    }
    echo '</tr>';
    
    //Get how many complete weeks are in the actual month
    $fullWeeks = floor(($lastDay['mday']-$actday)/7);
    
    for ($i=0;$i<$fullWeeks;$i++){
        echo '<tr>';
        for ($j=0;$j<7;$j++){
            $actday++;
            if ($actday == $today['mday']) {
                $class = ' class="actday"';
            } else {
                $class = '';
            }
            echo "<td$class>$actday</td>";
        }
        echo '</tr>';
    }
    
    //Now display the rest of the month
    if ($actday < $lastDay['mday']){
        echo '<tr>';
        
        for ($i=0; $i<7;$i++){
            $actday++;
            if ($actday == $today['mday']) {
                $class = ' class="actday"';
            } else {
                $class = '';
            }
            
            if ($actday <= $lastDay['mday']){
                echo "<td$class>$actday</td>";
            }
            else {
                echo '<td> </td>';
            }
        }
        
        
        echo '</tr>';
    }
    
    echo '</table>';
}

showCalendar();
?>

</body>

It will need a bit of set up. For the next and previous months, you probably want a link or something. Give it some parameter in the URL so you know how to get the correct month.

iPixel · May 8, 2009

Yea, near the top header where it says Month - Year i just want to add << and >> to skip through the months, i've never worked with dates before so im not entirely sure where to tell it ok you're not looking at current month but at month #11 of 2009.

Here's where i got my script, but i dont see any help there either.

http://www.phptoys.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.33.2

my best guess is the main change will occur here

    $firstDay = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$today['mon'],1,$today['year']));
    $lastDay  = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$today['mon']+1,0,$today['year']));

Thanks

Well it's only scrolling through by month, so I would use negative for months before today's month and positive number for months after today.

Something like this -

<< May >>

^ ^ ^

-1 0 1

And if you selected -1, then get today's date minus 1 month. Then the map should look like

<< April >>

^ ^ ^

-2 -1 0

What you need to do is modify the following:

<?php
    // Get key day informations. 
    // We need the first and last day of the month and the actual day
    $today    = getdate();
    $firstDay = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$today['mon'],1,$today['year']));
    $lastDay  = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$today['mon']+1,0,$today['year']));
?>

That code loads the first and last day of the month according to todays date. Passing a global variable and drawing it using $_GET will allow you to manipulate that portion. We can quite simply just do this if we pass "month" and "year" though the address bar:

<?php
$next[0] = $today['mon'] + 1;
if ($next[0] > 12)
{
$next[0] = 1;
$next[1] = $today['year'] + 1;
}
$prev[0] = $today['mon'] - 1;
if ($prev[0] < 1)
{
$prev[0] = 12;
$prev[1] = $today['year'] - 1;
}

$link[0] = 'calendar.php?month=' . $next[0] . '&year=' . $next[1];
$link[1] = 'calendar.php?month=' . $prev[0] . '&year=' . $prev[1];
?>

Yep i managed to figure this out so far, im having 1 silly issue... $today['month']... at the moment it's MAY but $today['month']+1 wont make it June lol, how can i make it +1, im trying to avoid using $today['mon'] and the do a switch statement 1 through 12 assigning names.

Thanks for the help

$nextmonth = getdate(strtotime('+1 MONTH'));

?

iPixel · May 8, 2009

LOL turns out that script is bugged, Feb of 09 and Nov of 09 bug out because the script starts the days off with monday thru sunday as opposed to sunday thru saturday. Ah well but at least i have a starting point.

Thanks guys!

For those that would search this in the future, here is the full working script with the month skipping ability

ENJOY !!!
