Hi Everyone,
I'm building my first application that requires a calendar. I have it working great for the current month. My problem is that i'm not sure how to make it so that when a user clicks the link to go to the next month, it will show the next month.
I'll try to only post the code that is necessary so here's my variables
//gets todays date
$date = time();
//This puts the day, month, and year in separate variables
$day = date('d', $date);
$month = date('m', $date);
$year = date('y', $date);
$bigYear = date('Y', $date);
$first_day = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year); //we need to generate the first day of the month
$month_name = date('F', $first_day); //get the current month's full spelling
$day_of_week = date('D', $first_day); //find out what day of the week the first day of the month falls on
$prevM = getDate(mktime(0, 0, 0, $month-1, 1, $year)); //gets an associative array of the previous month
$nextM = getDate(mktime(0, 0, 0, $month+1, 1, $year)); //gets an associative array of the next month
$prevMonth = $prevM['month']; //gets the actual previous month's name
$nextMonth = $nextM['month']; //gets the actual next month's name
$day_count = 1; //counts the days up to 7 so we know when to start a new week
$day_num = 1; //counter for the total number of days in the month
and here's my links that are supposed to take you to the next and previous months
echo "<th colspan=2 class=\"noBorder\"><a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$prevMonth'>«</a></th>";
echo "<th colspan=3 class=\"noBorder\"><strong>$month_name</strong></th>";
echo "<th colspan=2 class=\"noBorder\"><a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$nextMonth'>»</a></th>";
