New Tutorial — Create an AJAX Calendar with PHP
In my newest tutorial, you learn how to quickly render a calendar using PHP's date() and mktime() functions. Then provide some AJAX functionality to move between months without having to reload the page. This tutorial walks you through a great way to build the foundation in PHP for any calendar needs you might have on your site.
Check out my new tutorial, Create an AJAX Calendar with PHP, to learn how to render a calendar with PHP and use AJAX request to move from month to month.

Sean,
I've spent a few hours trying to find an ajax calendar for planning. All that seems to be available are calendars for date picking. I feel that my criteria is simple - a calendar that retrieves scheduling from a database and prints it out AND has an event system for administrators to add appointments. Your "mission" statement echoes my needs exactly. Before I start customizing your code I was wondering if you had made any headway on your project. Thanks for your help thus far!

Sir,
I really like your tutorial and the code your provided. The calendar lloks real good, the only question I have is you make a call to prototype.js is that part of the script in this example? It would be nice to be able to download the entire example. Thanks!

Thanks for your praise Ethan. I have not recently made progress on this project. However, I appreciate your enthusiasm and that might be the sort of encouragement I need to just do it! Stay tuned and I'll get this accomplished.
