I am making a web site for a friend and need some help on producing a dynamic calendar. the calendar needs to display all the dates and the different apointment times under each date. All this information has to come from a database that he can edit. I am not totally sure on how to make a calendar that can do this if it is even possible. I am using php for script.

There's an interesting free ASP calendar at:

http://www.kamath.com/calendar/default_old.asp

I installed it and used it and it seemed to work well enough -- although there were a few things that needed to be fixed. Sadly, dev on it appears to have stopped... there's a version two coming soon msg, dated 1999, I think... but no V2.

Also, there are some restrictions on it, you can use it for free as long as you have his copyright and link graphic and modify it, too -- but only on a NON-commercial not-for-profit site.

I didn't look at the code, except to take a quick look at the line count... the main module had around 300 or less, so I decided it would be better to simply develop a data-driven calendar on my own. I figured it would be a good mental excercise, if nothing else.

I'm half done, with a working 'universal caldendar' sub I whipped up watching Law & Order. (Went a little into that chick-coroner [term used advisedly] show.)

It was quick work with VB ASP's date functions... it might not be good stopwatch code (using the IsDate function to test the loop, that is) but the calendar displays almost instantaneously, anyhow... . Next is putting the database link/lookup code in, which is more my accustomed work.

Take your choice. There are lots of scripts. I haven't tried any of
them, so can't give any particular recommendations.
