Auto Delete Date Based Calendar Events
Out of both wanting to improve my PHP skills and necessity, I created my own small CMS for a non-profit site I am involved with. One of the features I have is an event calendar where other users can submit events, which then go into a "holding tank" until I can approve or deleted them. It's working great and everyone is loving it... but I have discovered one issue. When the date of the event passes, I have to log into the admin area and manually remove it. I am actually not deleting it from the database but changing a field variable and archiving it for our records.
I have been trying the past few days to come up with the necessary PHP to automatically check the current date (today's date) against all the calendar events and remove ones that have already happened. I could then hook this up to a CHRON action in my hosting CPanel and call it a day - at least that is how it all plays out in my head.
I imagine in order to point me in the right direction you will need some information about my database.

Displaying Events In A Calendar
I have a calendar that I would like to display some events on. The events are stored in a database but I do not think I am getting the information in the right place and displaying like it should be.

Web Calendar Group/individual View Events?
There seem to be a lot of web calendars out there and I am having a tough time sorting out which ones to even try - a lot of the more popular ones were created 2 or 3 years ago. Can anyone recommend a good one that uses php and mysql preferably? One of the main uses would be for family to indicate their holidays so all in the family can see. Thus, it would require a group/public feature that allows users to see all "public" holidays or just their own holidays.
Sample Month At A Time Code For Events Calendar
I am in the process of rewriting one of my first PHP scripts, an event calendar, and wanted to share the code that is the core of the new calendar. My current/previous calendar processed data dates only, this code is intended to use more thrifty event descriptions (3rd saturday, last tuesday, etc.) as well as traditional one-of dates. The core here here is quite spartan, no table logic or or db cruft included <?php //sample code to generate american calendar format for a given month // i,e. start of sunday on or before the 1st end on te saturday on or after the last day. // makes use of mktime's cool liberal calculation of dates. // Set sample month and year values: $mn = date("m"); $yr = date("Y"); // Start calendar logic: $firstday = date("w",mktime(0,0,0,$mn,1,$yr));// Get first day of target month (0=sum 6=set) $numdays = date("t",mktime(0,0,0,$mn,1,$yr));// Number of days in target month $daystop = $numdays+(6-date("w",mktime(0,0,0,$mn+1,0,$yr)));// Adjusted last saturday of calendar page (on or after last day of month //start with american first sunday on or before start of month of calendar page and end on daystop (saturday) for($daynum = 1 - $firstday; $daynum <= $daystop; $daynum++) { //need working date timestamp to work out details of the calendar $wkdate = mktime(0,0,0,$mn,$daynum,$yr);//the first of the month - unix value $wdy = date("w",$wkdate);//day of the week (0 sun - 6 sat) $wmn = date("m",$wkdate);//month $wdt = date("d",$wkdate);//date $wdte = date("D, m/d/Y",$wkdate);//date string of current date "Day, mm/dd/yyyy"

Events Calander And Date Conversion
I have been working on an events calander program that needs to be in chronological order by date. The fields I have are id, date, event and event discription. The problem I have is that the event date needs to be displayed in this format 09/21/03. However, when I simply sort by date 02/21/04 would display before 03/21/01. How could I sort by date and display the date in the 00/00/00 format.

Auto Changing Link Depending On Date
I want to have a special link on my site. The link is to a text file located on a distributor's website and is named with a specific filename in the same format every week. In other words it's guaranteed predictable. Here is what the file would look like, shipping_032107.txt which means, shipping_(month)(day)(year).txt How could I use something to make the link the right name without modifying my page weekly? The one tricky part is that it's updated once a week and it would be Wednesdays date each time. So it actually has to predict the next date. Perhaps if the script couldn't do that it could figure out todays date, check it to the days of the week and add a number to equal the proper day, I have no idea what to start with for this.

I have a database that returns a field with a date and time that looks like this: 12/04/2007 07:45:03 I need a simple clause that says if the time is before noon then A else if the time is after noon then B I could split the date from the time in a string then split the time by the : but there is a much easier way, right?

I'd like to display a little "new" icon next to all products in a directory which are, funnily enough, new! I've got a date (timestamp) for each product which is inserted on adding a new product and updating a product. I'd like to do a conditional region using the timestamo but I'm not sure what to use - I could do === [current date] but that would only show the icon for that day and I'd like it to be there for about a week or so.

Events Application In PHP Or Perl
I am looking for an events registration/calendar application (open source or otherwise) written in PHP or Perl.

OnUnload (check If Variable Is Set) Events To Detect Browser
I'm building a website using PHP/JavaScript/HTML. I am using sessions. I need to find out how to do two tasks. 1. Log the time when the user is done using the website. I am using the onLoad (set a variable) and onUnload (check if variable is set) events to detect browser close. But this doesnt let the page to be refreshed or the 'Back' button to be used. (I am ensuring that the time is not logged when the user clicks a hyperlink by resetting the variable.) Is there a way to let the user use the back button and refresh without logging him out? 2. I need to make sure that only one user logs into the site using a username. What is the best way to do this? I have the usernames stored in a database. DO I set and reset a flag when a user logs in or out?
Pop-up Calendar

Calendar
I have a simple calendar script which displays a calendar on my website and at present, you enter dates using a seperate xml file. If you enter an event for a certain date, the event is displayed next to the date. This is fine, all works great, but what I would like to do is actually display the event in a pop-up window. So you would click on the date , a pop-up window would appear with the event displayed. PHP Code:
Php Calendar
I'm looking to develop a simple php calendar/schedule - similar to outlook calendar - that does not rely on a database but rather writes to a file. I need to be able to add to/delete from the schedule. As I am only starting out with php I am a little confused by the codes which links to databases and how to adapt them to only write to a flat file.
Calendar
It's two calendars, side by side and in reverse order (May/April). First you enter your Zip Code (have DB set up ewth UPS codes, zones, and shipping dates), then you click on the date you'd like to have your borchures delivered by. A red sphere will appear on the delivery date, preceded two or more days (depending upon the DB results) with a yellow sphere designatng the shipping date. 5 days before that, a purple sphere, represnting the date the press is run. Two days before this, a green sphere represnenting when you'll receive (and hopefully approve same day) your proof. Back up two more days and a blue sphere represents the latest date you must upload your files to the printer. PROBLEM: ANy sphere falling on a weekend miust be backed up to the prvious Friday. Sounds simple, but it's proving otherwise. Maybe I need to start all over and re-evaluate my approach. First problem, because of the way I've designed the script, is getting balls to fall into the previous month if necessary, but I won't worry about that now. The BIG problem is getting Saturdays and Sundays ($wday ==0 && $wday==6) to back up. Here's a simplifed excerpt of what I've tried so far. Code:

Making A Calendar

Another Calendar Dilemma
I coded a calendar a while back with sample code from here. Then the user wanted the calendar to span into the next month and I did this. Now the calendar needs to span into the previous and possibly next month...it called a bidmonth. I get the actual dates from a table. So for example bidmonth December 06 spans from November 27, 2006 to December 31, 2006. The table stores the bidmonthbegindate, bidmonthenddate, and the actual bidmonth, in this case 12, as a number. I am not sure if it could span 3 months but I would like to code for it just in case. Below is the code I had that allows for a bid month to span into the NEXT month. I need to change it and I am in way over my head. Can someone help? PHP Code:
