multiple date select form

[p27br]

hello

does anyone know if a script exists that would do the following :

a form which displays a complete month calendar where the user can select multiple dates that will be saved to a database table.
the user can scroll forward and back between months.
Example : I want to book the first 3 days of december :
initially, the form will display the current month, so the user must scroll forward to the next month (only one complete month per window), he then clicks on 1st,2nd, & 3d of December
and clicks a save button, and the days are saved to the DB.

I don't have any idea as to create this so I'm looking either for a ready made script that i could adapt to my needs, or some directions as to how to start out.
many thanks

do you want the date to be saved into the database or some arbiturary data?

i have the following script which displays a monthly calendar, the month and year are selected with comboboxes.
the code comes from a book, I added a checkbox next to the day number, so that the user can select dates to book. i'd like to then save the dates to a database.
for this i need to detect which checkboxes are checked.
this code is never executed =

       foreach($_POST['mycheckbox'] as $value){
           echo 'test';
           echo "<BR> You clicked checkbox number " .$value, "\n";
       }
   }

i found out what the error is, the calendar is generated outside the form, so that's why the checkboxes aren't submitted.
thanks anyway for your help
