To print a table of May 2005, just do:
<?php echo build_calendar(05,2005); ?>And you’ll get a table like this:
| S | M | T | W | T | F | S |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 |
| 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 |
| 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 |
| 29 | 30 | 31 | ||||
THIS! Thank you so much for posting !
Finally, a concise and clear explanation on how to create a calendar !
For all I know, there could be a hundred of subsequent comments on how to do this differently, but you are the best of teachers !
Hello, where are you from, my email is [email protected], show me please. Bye.
I learnt how to do this a while ago but in a procedural way (which was kinda boring). Cool to see a function holding all of this. Thanks for sharing Chris !
Awesome, thanks for posting this, I can think of more than a few ways this would be useful.
How i can add events?
Is this still up to date??? I am getting the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function build_calendar(), 2 passed in … and exactly 3 expected ..
I tried using ” as in the example.
Can you give me the css you used for the calendar?
