PHP Event Calendar

Report · Mar 25, 2007

I have been looking high and low on tutorials on how to make a php event calendar. The closest I've gotten was a calendar event that is connected to MySQL and it shows all the days that an event is on. The MySQL table has a event_date, event_title and event_desc. That tutorial was from phpfreaks.com.

I am looking for something a little more then just showing a calendar that highlights the day of the event. I am looking for a php event calendar that shows the calendar and it's event title showing up in the calendar according to its date.

I had gone through a similar tutorial in ColdFusion. However, for PHP it seems impossible to find something that is free. Do you know of any tutorials that guides you a step by step using php in event calendar where the event title falls on the calendar date.

Thank you,
AdonaiEchad

First of all, let me say that I don't know of such a tutorial for PHP.
However, why should you expect it to be free?

PHP itself is free, and there's a lot of free information on how to use
it. But if you want something specific, it's unrealistic to expect
someone else to create it for you for nothing. The people who create PHP
and other open source software need to put food on their tables just as
much as anybody else.

If the answer is out there free, fine. But it's a bonus, not a right.

I apologize David that what I am asking is a lot from programmers, which I know you are a programmer in the PHP field.

I know that Adobe has a PHP tutorial on making a blog using Dreamweaver and I do not know if there was one for an event calendar, thus asking if anyone knew any sites that did so.

You are right that if the information is free it is a bonus and I was hoping in my long search that there is a free tutorial on this subject. I am new to PHP and I am trying to get as much information helping a non-profit organization make this event calendar work.

Thank you for your input and feelings.

This is your opportunity to write the tutorial on building the calendar,
once you get it figured out! That's how these get on the Adobe site in the
first place.... 8)
