Write a script to auto notify

[lkbolt]

I have downloaded and installed a Personal Information Manager (PPIM).  What I am wanting to do is add a feature to it to popup an alert when you login if a calendar event is over due.  The events are stored in a flat file not a mysql database.  they are stored by id# Date and Time.  Also I would like to add a feature to be able to be able to mark an event as complete and move it to another flat file instead of deleting the event.  Any help to get started would be great.  i do know a little about php scripting but most of my experience has been with mysql not flat files.  Thanks.  Below is the scripting for adding an event, deleting an event or listing the events.

 

<?php

function add_event()

{

global $script_file;

$newline = "\r\n";

$event_title = $_POST['event_title'];

$event_date_id = $_POST['event_date_id'];

$event_hour = $_POST['event_hour'];

$event_min = $_POST['event_min'];

$event_ampm = $_POST['event_ampm'];

$event_description = $_POST['event_description'];

$event_description = nl2br($event_description);

$event_description = ereg_replace('"', '\"',$event_description);

 

 

$event_milhour = $event_hour;

if ($event_ampm == "pm" && $event_hour < 12)

{

  $event_milhour = $event_hour +12;

}

$temp_month = date('m',$event_date_id);

$temp_day = date('d',$event_date_id);

$temp_year = date('Y',$event_date_id);

$event_timestamp = mktime($event_milhour, $event_min, 0, $temp_month, $temp_day, $temp_year);

 

if ($_POST['oldevent_file'] != "")

{

  $delfile = $_POST['oldevent_file'];

unlink($delfile);

}

$line1 = '<?php' .$newline;

You might do better in this section. Also who wants to read through all that code, to answer multiple questions. Break it down to simple questions, only showing the relevant code, don't just dump the whole of someone else's code, y'know!

Will a MOD please move this post to the Flat File Section of the Forum.  I am sorry haven't been here in a while didn't notice that section.  Like I said previously I am not a PHP expert and have not dealt with Flat file scripting before. was not sure what info someone would need to help me.  Please only post helpful replies to this topic.
