PHP CALENDAR

[serbestgezer]

Hi all,

 

I couldnt figure it out to make actual date in bold. Any help much appreciated!

 

Thanks

 

<?php
$monthNames = Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "October", "September", "November", "December");
?>

<?php
if (!isset($_REQUEST["month"])) $_REQUEST["month"] = date("n");
if (!isset($_REQUEST["year"])) $_REQUEST["year"] = date("Y");
?>

<?php
$cMonth = $_REQUEST["month"];
$cYear = $_REQUEST["year"];

$prev_year = $cYear;
$next_year = $cYear;

$prev_month = $cMonth-1;
$next_month = $cMonth+1;

if ($prev_month == 0 ) {
$prev_month = 12;
$prev_year = $cYear - 1;
}
if ($next_month == 13 ) {
$next_month = 1;
$next_year = $cYear + 1;
}
?> 
<link href="table.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

if(($i % 7) == 6 ) { echo "\n</tr>";}
}
if($startday > 4)
{
$maxtable = 42;
}
else
{
$maxtable = 35;
}
$blank = $maxday + $startday;
$draw = $maxtable - $blank;

$i = 1;
while($i <= $draw)
{

$i++;
}
echo "</tr></table>";

Did you write this, is there any readme files with it?

I am very new but it would seem to me that you should be able to use your $today variable in an internal style sheet somehow if that is what this variable is used for. I am interested in learning more about this calendar. How large is the Style sheet, can you post it?

Here is a push in the right direction:

 

<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < ($maxday + $startday); $i++)
{
// This should set $bold == TRUE if $i is the current day of the week
$bold = (bool) ($i == date('j'));

if (($i % 7) == 0 ) 
	echo "\n".'<tr class="rowsTOC">';

if ($i < $startday) 
	echo '<td class="sOtherTOC"></td>'. "\n" ;
else 
	echo "\n" .'<td class="s20TOC"><div class=daynumTOC>'. ($i - $startday + 1) . '</div>'."\n".'<div class="titleTOC">data from mysql</div></td>';

if (($i % 7) == 6 )
	echo "\n</tr>";
}

it doesnt doing anything

Did you even try to figure out what I did in that example?

 

PHP has an awesome date() function.  It returns a formatted date.  date('j') returns the current day of the week as a number from 1 - 31.  In the for loop that prints each day of the month, I'm checking to see if the current day of the week matches $i. i.e.

<?php
$bold = (bool) ($i == date('j'));

 

Adding the (bool) casts the comparison to a boolean, so now, you can check to see if the current number in the for loop is the current day of the week.

I understand that, I never used (bool) before and when I use this code, it doesnt make the current date bold. Am I missing something?

On a side note... September comes before October.

 

$monthNames = Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September","October" , "November", "December");

I'm letting you take the extra step of actually making the day bold.  I've written the code that determines whether or not the current day that is being displayed _should_ be bold.  i.e. if $bold === TRUE, then $i is the current day of the week, if $bold === FALSE, $i is not.
