Answer 1

Check out phphotscripts.com http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Calendars/index.html

There are many scripts like this out there on the web. Check out http://www.weberdev.com too. Search for calenders in the code example area

Answer 2

Why do you need to reimpliment this? There are many very good calendar/schedulers around.

If, for whatever reason, none of these fit then there are many calendar libraries around. A quick search returns..

• PHP-calendar
• Easy PHP Calendar
• PHP Calendar.

There's also a calendaring class in CodeIgniter, and countless others.

Answer 3

In my opinion, creating a scheduling application is quite a difficult task.

If you just need a simple, clean looking calendar, consider embedding a google calendar in your page.

http://www.google.com/googlecalendar/tour.html

http://www.google.com/googlecalendar/event_publisher_guide.html#site

You can write your own functions to call the google calendar API if you want to let people add appointments.

Answer 4

have a look at hitAppoint and try to estimate if you can make anything close to it
