PHP Event Calendar - Having trouble displaying data

[spacepoet]

Hi:

 

I am working with a PHP Event Calendar. I am having trouble displaying the data the way I want to.

 

If a person clicks on a number/date in the calendar (17, for example) the data will display fine below the calendar.\

 

However, I want to display only the Event Title ("calName") in the date box as a link, and allow the user to click the title to go to a new page to see the full Event info.

 

I can not get any of the data to display and hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

 

This is the code:

<script>
function goLastMonth(month, year){
// If the month is January, decrement the year
if(month == 1){
--year;
month = 13;
}
document.location.href = '<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?month='+(month-1)+'&year='+year;
}
//next function
function goNextMonth(month, year){
// If the month is December, increment the year
if(month == 12){
++year;
month = 0;
}
document.location.href = '<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?month='+(month+1)+'&year='+year;
}

function remChars(txtControl, txtCount, intMaxLength)
{
if(txtControl.value.length > intMaxLength)
txtControl.value = txtControl.value.substring(0, (intMaxLength-1));
else
txtCount.value = intMaxLength - txtControl.value.length;
}

function checkFilled() {
var filled = 0
var x = document.form1.calName.value;
//x = x.replace(/^\s+/,""); // strip leading spaces
if (x.length > 0) {filled ++}

var y = document.form1.calDesc.value;
//y = y.replace(/^s+/,""); // strip leading spaces
if (y.length > 0) {filled ++}

if (filled == 2) {
document.getElementById("Submit").disabled = false;
}
else {document.getElementById("Submit").disabled = true} // in case a field is filled then erased

}

</script>

Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

Hi:

 

I think I am close to getting the data to display as I would like it, but I'm a bit stuck and don't know where to go with it.

 

Perhaps someone here can help me out.

 

This is the chuck of code that will display the date (and where I want to display the data assigned to that date):

<td width="50" <?=hiLightEvt($month,$i,$year);?>><a href="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?month='. $month . '&day=' . $i . '&year=' . $year;?>&v=1"><?=$i;?></a>

<?php
if(isset($_GET['v'])){

$sql="select calDate, calName,calDesc from calTbl where calDate = \"'month=' $month '&day=' $i '&year=' $year\";

$result = mysql_query($sql);
$numRows = mysql_num_rows($result);
?>

<?php
if($numRows == 0 ){
echo '<h3>No Events</h3>';
}else{

while($row = $_GET($result)){
?>
<div class="output">

<h5><?=$row['calName'];?></h5>
<?=$row['calDesc'];?>

</div>

</td>

 

The "<?=$i;?>" in the first line writes the date (1, 2, 3, etc.) into the correct area of the calendar.

 

Seeing that that works fine, I am trying to figure out how to display the "calName" and "calDesc" to the proper date assigned to them in the admin area (this is assigned by "calDate").

 

Anyone know how to do this?

 

Thanks.
