calendar advice

[eluser]jdfwarrior[/eluser]
I had updated a few things. I dont know why it wasnt displaying for you correctly, works perfect for me, but I made a few changes for you. With this code, load the class (via php include is how I was using it). For CI, this could be done in your controller of choice.

Then create the calendar by doing:

Code:

<?
    $cal = new phpCalendar(2,2006); //or whatever month,year you want
    $code = $cal->getCal();
?>

At that point the $code variable is all the html for the calendar. You can echo it directly from the controller, or pass it to the view to be displayed there. However you want to do it. You should not need the CI calendar class. You dont have to give it the number of days in the month. It figures all of that out using the php date function.

Here is the updated code:
phpCalendar

Code:

<?
class phpCalendar
{
    //Requires phpUser class
    //Requires phpCalendarEvent class

    private $month, $year, $display, $weeks;
    private $current, $prev, $next;
    
    /*

    private function getNextMonth()
    {
        if ($this->current['month']==12)
            $this->next['month']=1;
            $this->next['year']=$this->current['year']+1;
        if ($this->current['month']!=12)
            $this->next['month']=$this->current['month']+1;
            $this->next['year']=$this->current['year'];
    }

    {
        if ($this->current['month']==1)
            $this->prev['month']=12;
            $this->prev['year']=$this->current['year']-1;    
        if ($this->current['month']!=1)
            $this->prev['month']=$this->current['month']-1;
            $this->prev['year']=$this->current['year'];
    }

            $date=1;
            $initpadding = date('w', mktime(0,0,0, $this->current['month'], 1, $this->current['year']));
                
            do

Css is still basic, you can tweak and change it however you see fit.

Code:

#phpCalendar
{
    border:1px solid #c4c4c4;
    margin:0 auto;
    padding:0;
    width:50%;
}

#phpCalendar .week
{
    margin:0 auto;
    overflow:hidden;
    padding:0;
    width:100%;
    height:100px;
}

#phpCalendar .day
{
    background:#ededed;
    float:left;
    height:100px;
    width:20%;
}
