Suggestions for Calendar/Scheduling tool

Hi all,

I am looking for suggestions for a calendar/scheduling tool that I can integrate with a CodeIgniter PHP application.

A little background - I’m developing an application that has a scheduling component. The application is for a Nutrition Education department within an org. It should allow the user to schedule and manage Nutrition Education classes. The user needs the ability to invite other users to classes and determine the availability of other users schedules.

Some of the tools I’ve came across -
• phpScheduleIt - http://php.brickhost.com/
• Smart PHP Calendar - http://www.smartphpcalendar.com/
• Google Calendar API - https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/
• dhtmlxScheduler - http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxS ... ndex.shtml

Really just looking for any feedback that I can get on this before jumping in.

Thanks,

Derek

I've been really surprised at the lack of options out there to accomplish something like this. Google Calendar API has most of the features I would need, but I need the ability to store the events in my local database and not just a way to interact with Google Calendar.

Smart PHP Calendar is the most promising lead I've had, but they seem to lack support and are a very small organization.

Surely, there is a large software vendor that offers a scheduling tool for PHP apps?

Any ideas?
