Hi,

I have implemented an event calendar script. Its working fine. But I want to display the calendars of 3 consecutive months on selecting the month and year from drop down menus on submit with the selected month and year in between the other two as in Easy PHP calendar. Then on clicking the next and previous buttons the respective month calendars should slide. Later i should be able to add events on clicking the date.

Will be extremely happy if anyone could help me.

The one which I have executed is http://www.calendar.iconwebservices.com/calendar.php

Thank You in advance.

So if you choose Nov 2011, you should see Oct 2011 | Nov 2011 | Dec 2011. Is that it?

Prev | Next buttons 'slide' calendar by one month increment either way?

Not knowing how you've constructed your calendar, it's difficult to know what you need help with.

The 'slide effect' if that's what you're looking for can be done with javascript (jQuery is good for this), however, there are so many good datepickers out there, unless you're doing a 'self-improvement' project, you may be better off using one of these:

Yes. That's exactly what I require as seen in http://www.easyphpcalendar.com/v6demo/events/index.php?PHPSESSID=2e191d9b4aeee7350d71b8ab49a1e2ae.

Please help me out.

My code is as follows

	$db_name=""; // Database name

	$mysql = mysql_connect("$host", "$user", "$pass")or die("cannot connect");
	mysql_select_db("$db_name", $mysql) or die(mysql_error());
	 
	// Now we need to define "A DAY", which will be used later in the script:
	define("ADAY", (60*60*24));
	 
	// The rest of the script will stay the same until about line 82
	 
	if ((!isset($_POST['month'])) || (!isset($_POST['year']))) {
	    $nowArray = getdate();
	    $month = $nowArray['mon'];
    $year = $nowArray['year'];
	} else {

IMO, you either need to make a class out of this or at least change it to a function, so that you can do something like this:

OOP:

$cal = new Calendar($month,$year);
$thisMonth=$cal->getThisMonth();
$nextMonth=$cal->getNextMonth();
$lastMonth=$cal->getLastMonth();

Vanilla Function:

$thisMonth = getCalendar('now');
$nextMonth = getCalendar('before');
$previousMonth = getCalendar('after');

For the function version:

function getCalendar($when){
   $month = date('n'); //default month if no posted form
   $year = date('Y'); //default year if no posted form
   if(isset($_POST['month']) && intval($_POST['month']) > 0 && intval($_POST['month']) < 13)$month = intval($_POST['month']);
   if(isset($_POST['year']) && intval($_POST['year']) > 2000 && intval($_POST['year']) < 2051)$month = intval($_POST['year']);
   if(isset($_POST['submitPrev']))$month = $month - 1;//if form submitted with previous button
   if(isset($_POST['submitNext']))$month = $month + 1;//if form submitted with next button 
   if($when=='before')$month = $month - 1;
   if($when=='after')$month = $month + 1;
   $startdate = mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year); //calculate right date even if month overflows to -1 or 14 - I ASSUME
   
   //do your code to display a calendar and concatenate it into a variable(e.g. $output)

   return $output;
}

The datepicker form, something like that?:

<form method="post">
  <button type="submit" name="submitPrev">Prev</button>
  <!-- month, year and normal submit controls here -->
  <button type="submit" name="submitNext">Next</button>
</form>

For displaying the calendar:

echo getCalendar('before');
echo getCalendar('now');
echo getCalendar('next');

Anyway, this is off the top of my head - none of it has been tested. If your code works for producing a single calendar, it *should* work for 3. The bit I'm not so sure about is the mktime() bit.
