php/mysql: database of bank holidays and events like christmas, easter etc...

Question

Hi guys,

Im working on a simple calendar application and i want to have the above events display on the calendar [bank holidays and that].

The calendar is just a standard month view, with a link to view each day for each day in the month, and links to view next/ previous month and year etc...

i will probably have the mktime for each event stored, and if today == mktime then display it on the calendar [or something similar], but where can i get these dates from?

Any suggestions ??
