Postable Calender

[syco]

Can some show me how to make or give me codes for a calender that people can post "requested" appointment times, for a hair salon website. then if possible make it give a notification email with a accept or deny action?

I'm not going to do it for you, you need to learn some PHP first.Just to help you out, I'll tell you what you need:

• HTML forms and PHP $_POST.
• PHP databases.
• PHP Date object.
• PHP sessions or cookies.

You need to think, learn to structure data. Try to break down your idea into things you're able to tell the computer.

the hardest part about calendars is getting the offset correct in the tables. I saw a method used in a tutorial... the link ishttp://www.evolt.org/quick_calendar_using_ajax_and_phpFrom what i can give you the logic goes like this:get the current month, day, year.figure out what day of the week the first isfigure out how many days are in the current monthdivide days by seven, rounding up to count the weeks.loop through the weeks loop from 0-6 (1-7 respectively) for each day. subtract the current number from the day that first day is, any days not in the current month will be <=0, so you don't display those, only empty spaces. The database interaction in the tutorial i gave you i dont much like. I'd preffer timestamps and an increment value column, but you can choose whatever you like. obviously you'd need to add an hour/minute column if you'd like to stick with the syntax shown previously in the tutorial since this is an appointment kind of thing. Best of luck

I'm not coming up with anything... i know php but not really how to use it together to do something.

by following that guide, it gives you a pretty much done n done calendar script. your job would be to thusly alter it to include hours/minuntes in the db, check the dates, and make sure that they dont conflict with one another.

Here was a calendar I made a long time ago; you can use it. It just displays a table calendar, with the month and year at the top.

<style type="text/css">  .day {	text-align: center;  }  .ds {	text-align: right;  }</style><table border="1" width="20%"><tr>  <td colspan="7" align="center"><?php  $date=explode(' ', date('F n Y t'));  $days=array('S', 'M', 'T', 'W', 'T', 'F', 'S');  $fom=date('w', mktime(0, 0, 0, $date[1], 1, $date[2]));  $eom=date('w', mktime(0, 0, 0, $date[1], $date[3], $date[2]));  $space=0;  echo "{$date[0]} {$date[2]}</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n";  for ($i=0; $i<count($days); $i++) {	echo "  <td class=\"day\">{$days[$i]}</td>\n";  }  for ($j=0; $j<$date[3]+$fom+6-$eom; $j++) {	if ($j%7==0) {	  echo "</tr>\n<tr>\n";	}	echo "  <td class=\"ds\">";	if ($space<$fom) {		echo " ";		$space++;	}	elseif ($j-$fom>=$date[3]) {	  echo " ";	}	else {	  echo $j-$fom+1;	}	echo "</td>\n";  }?></tr></table>
