Hey everyone, I need some help on a calendar...

[Chad Roe]

Ok, I got the calendar looking exactly how I want it, and running 90% the way I want it, there is just one little ussue I need help with. On the top of the calendar, on each side of the Month, is a < (previous month) and > (next month). Right now, they link to archived files on the creator's blog...how can I make them switch between months? I will include everything below...

Here is the calendar:

This is the code to put in your body:

<?php include('calendar/calendar.php'); ?>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="25" height="25" bordercolor="#000000" bgcolor="#F6F3EC">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#F6F3EC" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">
<?php
$time = time();
$today = date('j',$time);
$cur_day = array($today=>array(NULL,NULL,'<span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">'.$today.'</span>'));
$pn = array('&lt;'=>'/calendar/archive/2004/Jul', '&gt;'=>'/calendar/archive/2004/Sep');
echo generate_calendar(date('Y', $time), date('n', $time), $cur_day, 2, NULL, 1, $pn);
?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


Here is the code inside: <?php include('calendar/calendar.php'); ?>

Are the archive files JUST the calendar display?or the entire page?

If they're just the calendar..you can do something such as reloading the page with a get variable set for the month and year of the calendar in question...check if an archive exists..and if it does, include it..otherwise generate the calendar as normal.

eg:


$file = $_GET["month"].'-'.$_GET["year"]'.php';

if(file_exists('/path/to/archives/'.$file))
{
include('/path/to/archives/'.$file);
}
else
{
//generate calendar
}
