basic calendar needed .........

[rnb_cassanova]

Hi Guys,

 

I need a calendar in PHP that will allow me to mark of dates. so for example if a week is booked, i can colour code it so show this. Any ideas how I can implement this?

 

Thanks for you help in advance,

 

David

this would be kind of complicated for a php newbie. my take on it would be:

 

make a mysql table called "Bookings", with fields: "id","timestamp","name","description"

 

then make a script that would dynamically create a calendar table use time() and date() functions.

 

for each table "cell" (in html), that gets looped it would have a timestamp-start and timestamp-end, i would check in mysql if any dates "WHERE `timestamp`>'$timestamp_start' AND `timestamp`<'$timestamp_end'" this would grab any dates between the two dates, and you can format the table cell accordingly with if statements etc and even add a popup-description telling you who booked it and why.

 

 

good luck hope this helps,

You may want to look at other event calanders already out there like WebCalendar

I have downloaded that open source calendar, but ill be honest, I have no clue where to start when installing it. Sorry, just quite new to this all. Any assistance would be helpful.

 

Cheers lads,
