Calendar Event PHP

Do you need a PHP event calendar? Do you want an attractive monthly event calendar that displays your upcoming agenda to your visitors? Do you also want a way to manage the agenda data through a web based interface? The scriptcalendar software coupled with the free PHP event management system is your solution. How does it work?

The first thing you need is a database to store your data.  Your calendar will display events based on this data.  MySql is the obvious choice when using PHP.  However, a MySql database is not easy to include along with PHP source code.  An XML file is an alternative database, and can easily be included in a zip file of PHP source code.  The PHP event management system uses an XML file as a database for that reason.

You need a PHP Page to manage your events.  The screen capture here is of the ManageEvents.php.  This page reads the xml data and displays it in table format.  Using the icons on the left edge of the table, you can edit, delete or add new events.  Finally. you press the Save Changes button to save the xml data back to a file on the server

Third, you'll need to display the events to visitors.  The Scriptcalendar software renders the calendar.  It is a javascript event calendar.  It is cross browser compatible.  It has over a dozen themes to choose from.  Plus, it can easily be altered through properties and CSS.

Finally, you'll need a method of providing events from the XML file or database to the scriptcalendar.  The scevent.php page reads the XML data and renders valid javascript code.  You point to the scevent.php from the javascript include, and the rendered code is run client side.
