Calender date picker - PHP

[WilliamMute007]

Hi,

I am trying to implement a calender feature on a website which allows user to pick a date on the calender and the DB is queried. I am lost for direction, can any please help with some directions? I've searched google and I get a lot of junks but nothing meaningful really...

Any help?


Thanks in advance

The Calendar Picker will have to be either Javascript based or HTML based as PHP cannot do it.


The JS picker should just populate a text box with the selected date, and then you can either submit the form using JS or wait for the user to press he submit button. In either case the form is submitted to a PHP script that uses the date to query the Db and returns the
results.

If you choose to go the HTML way, you can use PHP to create the calendar and have each day be a link that looks something like:

<a href="phpscript.php?myvalue=xx-xx-xxxx>Date</a>

Once its clicked it sends the value to the PHP script and it queries the DB using the value.
