AJM2 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I am not sure I am doing this correctly. My goal is to have a button on each side of the page with today's date in the middle as dropdown lists allowing to page through dates (see image) or pick a specific date. I have the code somewhat of working. It will page up tomorrow, next day, next day... and it goes down, yesterday, day before... when starting at today. But once I go either up or down I can't page back in the opposite direction. The ultimate goal is to pass the "current" date into a query to get today's data as you page through. I hope I described this well enough. I don't want to use a date picker where a calendar pops up. Any pointers would be appreciated. <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <form action="calendar_form.php" method="post" name="f1"> <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); // Default dates $beginYesterday = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime('yesterday')); $beginOfDay = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime('today')); $endOfDay = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime('tomorrow')); $tomorrow = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($beginOfDay . '+1 days')); $f_today = date('m-d-Y', strtotime('today midnight')); $yesterday = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-1 days')); // Check the form was submitted if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { $yesterday = $_POST['yesterday']; $tomorrow = $_POST['tomorrow']; if($_POST['Submit'] == 'Tomorrow'){ $tomorrow = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($tomorrow . '+1 days')); $today = date('m-d-Y', strtotime($_POST['tomorrow'])); $yesterday = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($tomorrow . '-1 days')); $f_today = $today; } elseif($_POST['Submit'] == 'Yesterday'){ $tomorrow = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($yesterday . '+1 days')); $today = date('m-d-Y', strtotime($_POST['yesterday'])); $yesterday = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($yesterday . '-1 days')); $f_today = $today; } } ?> <table border="1" align="center" width="100%"> <input type="hidden" name="yesterday" value=<?php echo $yesterday;?>> <input type="hidden" name="tomorrow" value=<?php echo $tomorrow;?>> <tr> <td align="center" width="20%"><?php echo $yesterday;?><input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Yesterday"></td> <td align="center" width="60%"> <?php echo $f_today;?></td> <td align="center" width="20%"><input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Tomorrow"><?php echo $tomorrow;?></td> </tr> <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { //<!--- Form view ---> echo"<tr><td>query</td></tr>"; } else{ //<!--- Default view ---> "<tr><td>default</td></tr>"; } ?> </table> </form> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/314512-calendar-paging/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution mac_gyver Posted February 7, 2022 Solution Share Posted February 7, 2022 the operation is to simply either add one day or subtract one day from the current date - <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <form method="post" name="f1"> <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); // Default dates $today = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime('today')); // Check the form was submitted if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { $today = $_POST['today']; if($_POST['Submit'] == 'Tomorrow'){ $today = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($today . '+1 days')); } if($_POST['Submit'] == 'Yesterday'){ $today = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($today . '-1 days')); } } ?> <table border="1" align="center" width="100%"> <input type="hidden" name="today" value=<?php echo $today;?>> <tr> <td align="center" width="20%"><input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Yesterday"></td> <td align="center" width="60%"> <?php echo $today;?></td> <td align="center" width="20%"><input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Tomorrow"></td> </tr> <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { //<!--- Form view ---> echo"<tr><td>query</td></tr>"; } else{ //<!--- Default view ---> "<tr><td>default</td></tr>"; } ?> </table> </form> </body> </html> 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/314512-calendar-paging/#findComment-1593942 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJM2 Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 I guess I was over complicating this thought process. Thank you for the assistance. Very much appreciated.
