Database driven events calendar?

Post by gx94ts »

I am trying to develop a database driven events calendar. I am getting familar with php's calendar functions as well as the date conversions required between PHP to MySQL. Does anyone have any further suggestions on where to begin.

Check out Hotscripts.com's PHP Calendars section and download a few freebies. Look at what other people are doing and see what you can do better (after all, that is why we develop our own apps, right? To show others that ours is better?).

Another area to begin would be to clearly define what your scope is and put a good amount of thought into the design of your database, your possible use of sessions and logins, and extensiblity to your potential users. This gives you an idea of whether you are going to develop an application just for you or for a particular market, which gives an idea of what tools (php and mysql functions) you are going to need.
