I decided the try to make my own event calendar and the actual calendar displays/operates wonderfully but I cannot figure out how to get events to display! I have the events stored in my database along with their correct date, title, description. How can I have these events display in their correct day?
Here is my calendar so far
[code=php]<?php
$host = “localhost”;
$username = “example”;
$password = “example”;
$database = “example”;
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password);
mysql_connect($host, $username, $password) OR DIE (‘Unable to connect to database! Please try again later.’);
mysql_select_db($database);
// Collect the current date or desired date
if (isset($_GET[‘view’])){
$getDate = $_GET[‘view’];
$viewDate = explode(‘/’, $getDate);
$month = $viewDate[0];
$year = $viewDate[1];
}else{
$month = date(“m”);
$year = date(“Y”);
}
// Collect information on the current date or desired date
$date = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 01, $year);
$monthName = date(“F”, $date);
$totalDays = date(“t”, $date);
$startDay = date(“w”, $date);
// Find today
$today = date(“m”) . date(“j”) . date(“Y”);
// Generate previous link
$previous = $month – 1;
if ($month == 01){
$previousYear = $year – 1;
}else{
$previousYear = $year;
}
$previousDate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $previous, 01, $year);
$previousMonth = date(“F”, $previousDate);
$previousNumberProper = date(“m”, $previousDate);
// Generate next link
$next = $month + 1;
if ($month == 12){
$nextYear = $year + 1;
}else{
$nextYear = $year;
}
$nextDate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $next, 01, $year);
$nextMonth = date(“F”, $nextDate);
$nextNumberProper = date(“m”, $nextDate);
// Find needed calendar TD’s
$monthTotal = $startDay + $totalDays;
if ($monthTotal <= 28){
$calendarTD = 28;
}
if ($monthTotal > 28 && $monthTotal < 36){
$calendarTD = 35;
}
if ($monthTotal >= 36){
$calendarTD = 42;
}
// Set calendar counts
$printTR = 1;
$printTD = 1;
$day = 1;
// Get those events!
$getEvent = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM example WHERE month=’$month’ AND year=’$year'”);
