I am looking for a very simple calander function that just reads info from mysql or txt file what ever is handier

Can anyone recommend a setup?

would most like if it was just txt pad that it read from

very simple calander function for what? Why it read db and *.txt files.
Please note that PHP has very very excellent date time functions. You may easily write a calendar using these in a couple of days ..

can you give me an example of one of the functions?

u dont need to read from text file but u can easily create an calendar with the help of php functions. here is the source code u can see the demo online at forum.pctechindia.com/calendar.php

OR
