I’m guessing there would be a popup calendar that would allow them to click on the dates or maybe just having a checkbox if they have multiple events and sending the entry page back with the data filled in already (except date) and then they could choose another date.

I’m still kicking this around and really don’t know how to go on this project. Any thoughts on this? I’m a little beyond newbie but still learning php, MySQL and can get around a script okay. Was a COBOL programmer analyst for many years, so have an idea of process of a project.

If anyone knows of a calendar that does this already, I’d appreciate a link so I can take a look. Thanks. And thank you David for the great work on your blog.

Could you please share another example of working code, just to see if I miss something

Thanks in advance for your help

I am working on a multi-day event script! i have managed to use your *brilliant* script to display the data in one cell, but how would i use it to show a range? I Have the start & end dates of the event.

Is it possible? if so, how do i do it?

Thank you,
MIhir.

following is my code.

<?php

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
$tmonth=date("m");

$database = "xyz";
$server = "abcde";

$db_handle = mysql_connect($server, $user_name, $password);
$db_found = mysql_select_db($database, $db_handle);

if ($db_found) {

/* draws a calendar */

$calendar.= ''.implode('',$headings).'';

/* days and weeks vars now ... */
