[SOLVED] Calendar using PHP?

[denhamd2]

Hi guys,

 

Is it possible to make a calendar in PHP rather than hard-coding it in HTML? For example, I'm looking to make one for June 2007 and on each line I'd like to have the day, the date and then a checkbox containing the date, so for example:

 

<input type="checkbox" name="date" value="01062007" /> Tues. 1st<br>

 

Is it possible to do this dynamically using PHP?

 

Thanks in advance

thanks, but is it possible to do this purely in PHP with a simple function?

Simple function, no, but here's a function that you can modify to your specifications. It allows you to pass two optional parameters through: one for year and one for month. It then generates and displays a calendar with days and checkboxes for each day. Use it as you will!

<?php
function datePicker($year = '', $month = '') {
$year   = empty($year) ? date('Y') : $year;
$month  = empty($month) ? date('m') : $month;
$ts     = mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year);
$dInMo  = date('t', $ts);
$offset = date('w', $ts);
$weeks  = ceil(($offset + $dInMo) / 7);
$mName  = date('F Y', $ts);

$wDay = array('Su', 'M', 'Tu', 'W', 'Th', 'F', 'Sa');
$out  = "<table id=\"myCalendar\">\n";
$out .= "<tr>\n";
$out .= "<th colspan=\"7\">$mName</th>\n";
$out .= "</tr>\n";
$out .= "<tr>\n";
$out .= "<td>" . implode("</td>\n<td>", $wDay) . "</td>\n";
$out .= "</tr>\n";

$d = 1 - $offset; // Define your starting day
// Loop your weeks
for ($i = 0; $i < $weeks; $i++) {
	$out .= "<tr>\n";	
	// Loop 7 days for week
	for ($x = 0; $x < 7; $x++) {
		$out .= "<td>\n";
		if ($d > 0 && $d <= $dInMo) {
			$dTs  = mktime(0,0,0,$month, $d, $year);
			$out .= "<div class=\"dayValue\">$d</div>\n";
			$out .= "<div class=\"checkValue\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"myDates[]\" value=\"$dTs\" /></div>\n";
		} else {
			$out .= " ";
		}

		++$d;
		$out .= "</td>\n";
	}
	$out .= "</tr>\n";
}

$out .= "</table>\n";

return $out;
}

// Usage:
echo datePicker(2007, 10);
?>

 

Hope this helps.
