Help with PHP Calendar code...

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

Hello, I'm new to this forum and I'm glad I found it.
I wrote this code for a PHP calendar as an assignment for college.
It works fine, but I also want today's day to show in another color and I can't find how to do that.
Can anyone help?

Below is the code...
Code: <html>
<head>
<div align="center"> <h1>Calendar</h1> </div>
</head>

<body BGCOLOR="lightgreen">


<blockquote>
<p>
<div align="center">
<table border="1">
<?php

if (isset($_GET['next']))
{
$month = $_GET['month'] + 1 ;
$year= $_GET['year'];
if($month > 12)
{
$month = 1;
$year++ ;
}
$cur_date = mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year);
}

elseif(isset($_GET['prev']))
{

$month = $_GET['month'] - 1;
$year= $_GET['year'];
if($month < 1 )
{
$month = 12;
$year-- ;
}
$cur_date=mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year);
}
else
{
$cur_date=mktime();
$year=date('Y',$cur_date);
$month=date('m',$cur_date);
$cur_date = mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year);
}

$month_name = date('F', $cur_date);
$week_days = array(Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun);

echo "<tr><td colspan="7">$month_name $year</td></tr>";
echo '<tr>';
foreach($week_days as $day)
{
echo "<td>$day</td>";
}
echo '</tr>';

$num_of_days = date('t',$cur_date);
$i = 1;
$first_day = date('D', $cur_date);

while ($i <= $num_of_days)
{
echo '<tr>';
foreach($week_days as $day)
{
echo '<td>';
if ( (($i == 1) && ($day != $first_day)) || $i > $num_of_days)
$val = '';
else
$val = $i++;
echo "$val&nbsp;</td>";
}
echo '</tr>';
}

?>

</table>
</div>
