Calendar Bounty
As a new site having to do with technology and offering a section for bounties, I have a task for anybody that joins.
See the small calendar on the left below everything else? Well, I want to make this interactive providing links on active days. Such as if there is an event posted for August 26, 2008, I want users to be able to click that date and view all events listed for that date. This will consist of a query to a MySQL database to gather information from a submitted webform (not created yet). I would like for this to all be in a single (clean) PHP script. If needed, the block on the side can be turned into a new page entirely. Here's the code as it already is.
<br />
<?php<br />
$now = getdate(time());<br />
$time = mktime(0,0,0, $now['mon'], 1, $now['year']);<br />
$date = getdate($time);<br />
$dayTotal = cal_days_in_month(0, $date['mon'], $date['year']);<br />
//Print the calendar header with the month name and year.<br />
print '<br />
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="7"><strong>' . $date['month'] . '</strong></td>
</tr>
<p>';<br />
print '<br />
<tr>
<td colspan="7"><strong>' . $date['year'] . '</strong></td>
</tr>
<p>';<br />
for ($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++) {<br />
print '<br />
<tr>';<br />
for ($j = 1; $j <= 7; $j++) {<br />
$dayNum = $j + $i*7 - $date['wday'];<br />
//Print a cell with the day number in it. If it is today, highlight it.<br />
print '<br />
<td';<br />
if ($dayNum > 0 && $dayNum <= $dayTotal) {<br />
print ($dayNum == $now['mday']) ? ' style="background: #ccc;">' : '>';<br />
print $dayNum;<br />
}<br />
else {<br />
//Print a blank cell if no date falls on that day, but the row is unfinished.<br />
print '>';<br />
}<br />
print '</td>
<p>';<br />
}<br />
print '</tr>
<p>';<br />
if ($dayNum >= $dayTotal && $i != 6)<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
print '</table>
<p>';<br />
?><br />
Any takers?
By the way, there is no pay or prize for this bounty except for the fact that the final product will be used on this site.
Open source is better with an open mind.
