If you are dealing with php websites there may be many occasion that you may need php calendar.
Let us check how we can create simple php calendar.
What I’m going to show now is creating a php calendar using php codes and html

<?php
$monthNames = Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July",
"August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
if (!isset($_GET["m"])) $_GET["m"] = date("n");
if (!isset($_GET["y"])) $_GET["y"] = date("Y");
$currentMonth = $_GET["m"];
$currentYear = $_GET["y"];
$p_year = $currentYear;
$n_year = $currentYear;
$p_month = $currentMonth-1;
$n_month = $currentMonth+1;
if ($p_month == 0 ) {
$p_month = 12;
$p_year = $currentYear - 1;
}
if ($n_month == 13 ) {
$n_month = 1;
$n_year = $currentYear + 1;
}
$days=array('1'=>"S",'2'=>"M",'3'=>"T",'4'=>"W",'5'=>"T",'6'=>"F",'7'=>"S");
?>
<table width="800">
<tr align="center">
<td bgcolor="#7DC3E3" style="color:#FFFFFF">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="50%" align="left"> <a href="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?m=". $p_month . "&y=" . $p_year; ?>" style="color:#FFFFFF">Prev</a></td>
<td width="50%" align="right"><a href="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?m=". $n_month . "&y=" . $n_year; ?>" style="color:#FFFFFF">Next</a> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tr align="center">
<td colspan="7" bgcolor="#7DC3E3" style="color:#FFFFFF"><B><?php echo $monthNames[$currentMonth-1].' '.$currentYear; ?></B></td>
</tr>
<tr >
<?php for($i=1;$i<=7;$i++){ ?>
<td align="center" height='100' bgcolor="#7DC3E3" style="color:#FFFFFF"><B><?php echo $days[$i]; ?></B></td>
<?php } ?>
</tr>
<?php
$timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,$currentMonth,1,$currentYear);
$maxday = date("t",$timestamp);
$thismonth = getdate ($timestamp);
$startday = $thismonth['wday'];
for ($i=0; $i<($maxday+$startday); $i++) {
if(($i % 7) == 0 ) echo "<tr>";
if($i < $startday) echo "<td ></td>";
else echo "<td align='center' height='80' valign='middle' bgcolor='#AED5E4' height='20px'>". ($i - $startday + 1) . "</td>";
if(($i % 7) == 6 ) echo "</tr>";
}

I think in your case you can put a small hack here by putting
just above the beginning of the for loop.
Hope this will work for you.
you can also put
$days=array('1'=>"M",'2'=>"T",'3'=>"W",'4'=>"T",'5'=>"F",'6'=>"S",'7'=>"S");[php]so it will start Monday as starting day
$days=array(’1′=>”M”,’2′=>”T”,’3′=>”W”,’4′=>”T”,’5′=>”F”,’6′=>”S”,’7′=>”S”); <This I have
$startday=$startday-1; <- It is not working (or where I do insert it?)
$timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,$currentMonth,0,$currentYear); <- 1st January 2013 start in Tuesday and here I chaned it, but February still have a 31 days.
If I change it back for : $currentMonth,1,$currentYear <- Then 1st January start at Wednesday but February have 28 days…
put this code
$timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,$currentMonth,1,$currentYear); $maxday = date("t",$timestamp); $thismonth = getdate ($timestamp); $startday = $thismonth['wday']; // new modified code $startday=$startday-1; for ($i=0; $i<($maxday+$startday); $i++) { if(($i % 7) == 0 ) echo "<tr>"; if($i < $startday) echo "<td ></td>"; else echo "<td align='center' height='80' valign='middle' bgcolor='#AED5E4' height='20px'>". ($i - $startday + 1) . "</td>"; if(($i % 7) == 6 ) echo "</tr>"; }It work. Thank you so much ! Now I must do from it a event clanedar. It will be maybe little more difficult. Thank you
