Hey,
I am trying to figure out how to get the days in the calendar on this page as links.
I am using the following code:
<?
function generate_calendar($year, $month, $days = array(), $day_name_length = 3, $month_href = NULL, $first_day = 0, $pn = array()){
$first_of_month = gmmktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year);
$day_names = array(); #generate all the day names according to the current locale
for($n=0,$t=(3+$first_day)*86400; $n<7; $n++,$t+=86400) #January 4, 1970 was a Sunday
$day_names[$n] = ucfirst(gmstrftime('%A',$t)); #%A means full textual day name
list($month, $year, $month_name, $weekday) = explode(',',gmstrftime('%m,%Y,%B,%w',$first_of_month));
$weekday = ($weekday + 7 - $first_day) % 7; #adjust for $first_day
$title = htmlentities(ucfirst($month_name)).' '.$year; #note that some locales don't capitalize month and day names
@list($p, $pl) = each($pn); @list($n, $nl) = each($pn); #previous and next links, if applicable
if($p) $p = '<span class="calendar-prev">'.($pl ? '<a href="'.htmlspecialchars($pl).'">'.$p.'</a>' : $p).'</span> ';
if($n) $n = ' <span class="calendar-next">'.($nl ? '<a href="'.htmlspecialchars($nl).'">'.$n.'</a>' : $n).'</span>';
$calendar = '<table class="right">'."\
".
'<caption class="calendar-month">'.$p.($month_href ? '<a href="'.htmlspecialchars($month_href).'">'.$title.'</a>' : $title).$n."</caption>\
<tr>";
if($day_name_length){ #if the day names should be shown ($day_name_length > 0)
#if day_name_length is >3, the full name of the day will be printed
foreach($day_names as $d)
$calendar .= '<th abbr="'.htmlentities($d).'">'.htmlentities($day_name_length < 4 ? substr($d,0,$day_name_length) : $d).'</th>';
$calendar .= "</tr>\
<tr>";
}
if($weekday > 0) $calendar .= '<td colspan="'.$weekday.'"> </td>'; #initial 'empty' days
for($day=1,$days_in_month=gmdate('t',$first_of_month); $day<=$days_in_month; $day++,$weekday++){
if($weekday == 7){
$weekday = 0; #start a new week
$calendar .= "</tr>\
<tr>";
}
if(isset($days[$day]) and is_array($days[$day])){
@list($link, $classes, $content) = $days[$day];
if(is_null($content)) $content = $day;
$calendar .= '<td'.($classes ? ' class="'.htmlspecialchars($classes).'">' : '>').
($link ? '<a href="'.htmlspecialchars($link).'">'.$content.'</a>' : $content).'</td>';
}
else $calendar .= "<td>$day</td>";
}
if($weekday != 7) $calendar .= '<td colspan="'.(7-$weekday).'"> </td>'; #remaining "empty" days
return $calendar."</tr>\
</table>\
";
}
?>
<?php
$time = time();
echo generate_calendar(date('Y', $time), date('n', $time));
?>
I know it’s messy so apologies in advance. I simple need to be able to click on a day and send it to a page like so:
courses/?date=5 May 2010
Any ideas how i can do this? Otherwise are there any better methods i can use?
Thanks again
