Hello everybody,

my name is Giorgos and I work for a small company in Greece as a webmaster. Some months ago I faced a little problem: I had to install some dynamic generated calendars on "my" website. Unfortunately the most php calendars I could find were complete scripts (event calendars etc.) but I could not adjust them to my site. I needed some class, which would generate a calendar (month and year view) as a html table, which I could then add in my existing pages...I found some ASP application, which would probably cover my needs but its cost is a little bit high (just search in Google for "Active Calendar ASP" if you do not believe me). My boss would have fired me, if I would have suggested such a solution!!

The best solution was of course to create this class! I developed the "Active Calendar" Class (in PHP of course) and I published it for free (GPL). This was a great idea, as the class has been improved, a lot of people have already download it and I am sure some of them are using it at this moment.

The class supports calendar generation for the years 1971-2037 and can produce static calendars without any links or calendars with navigation controls, date picker control and linked days. The layout can be configured using CSS and JavaScript is not required for displaying or navigating the calendar(s). The calendars I needed, were created with 2-3 lines of code (ok, sometimes in 4-5 lines but no more!).

I am asking you all to download and check the Active Calendar class. I am sure you could help improving it (finding bugs, adding documentation files, suggesting new features etc). I would really appreciate any of your comments!

You can find more information about the class at freshmeat.net (downloads, demo url). This is the url of the project:

Thank you very much for your time.

Best regards
Giorgos
