Hey,

Here’s something to play with.


<?php
function get($var){
  return filter_input(INPUT_GET, $var);
}

function get_month(){
  $month = (int)get('m');
  return in_array($month, range(1, 12)) ? $month : date('n') ;
}

function get_year(){
  $year = (int)get('y');
  return in_array($year, range(1000, 3000)) ? $year : date('Y') ;
}

function get_prev_link($month, $year){
  if(1 === $month){
    return array(12, $year - 1);
  }
  return array($month - 1, $year);
}

function get_next_link($month, $year){
  if(12 === $month){
    return array(1, $year + 1);
  }
  return array($month + 1, $year);
}

$month  = get_month();
$year   = get_year();

$days   = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $month, $year);

printf(
  '<h1>%s %d</h1>' . PHP_EOL,
  date('F', mktime(0, 0, 0, $month)),
  $year
);

vprintf(
  '<p><a href="?m=%d&y=%d">Previous</a></p>' . PHP_EOL,
  get_prev_link($month, $year)
);

vprintf(
  '<p><a href="?m=%d&y=%d">Next</a></p>' . PHP_EOL,
  get_next_link($month, $year)
);

echo '<ul>' . PHP_EOL;
foreach(range(1, $days) as $day){
  printf(
    "\	" . '<li id="%s-%d" style="float: left; padding: 5px;">%s</li>' . PHP_EOL,
    date('M', mktime(0, 0, 0, $month)),
    $day,
    $day
  );
}
echo '</ul>' . PHP_EOL;
