Use Javascript to click through months

[brad5023]

Hi guys,

I have got a calendar together which displays the days of the month but I'd like to use a couple of javascript buttons on the page to increase and decrease the "$newdate = strtotime('+0 month', $current_month);" to allow the users to click through the different months. Well, this is how I'd do it but I'm open to suggestions on how to click through the months.

Any help would be amazing. Thank you for reading this.

<?php

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

$current_month = time();

$newdate = strtotime('+0 month', $current_month);


$day = date('d', $newdate) ;
$month = date('m', $newdate) ;
$year = date('Y', $newdate) ;

$first_day = mktime(0,0,0,$month, 1, $year) ;

$title = date('F', $first_day) ;


$day_of_week = date('D', $first_day) ;


switch($day_of_week){

case "Mon": $blank = 0; break;

case "Tue": $blank = 1; break;

case "Wed": $blank = 2; break;

case "Thu": $blank = 3; break;

case "Fri": $blank = 4; break;

case "Sat": $blank = 5; break;

case "Sun": $blank = 6; break;

}


$days_in_month = cal_days_in_month(0, $month, $year) ;


$day_count = 1;


while ( $blank > 0 )

{

echo "<div class=\"spacer\">
<a href=\"#\"></a>
</div>";

$blank = $blank-1;

$day_count++;

}


$day_num = 1;


while ( $day_num <= $days_in_month )

{

echo "<div class=\"number_block\">
<a href=\"#\">$day_num</a>
</div>";

$day_num++;

$day_count++;

}

?>

I'd just use a jquery calendar like this: http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/

Or this(though it does not support events for a specific time): http://tympanus.net/codrops/2012/11/27/calendario-a-flexible-calendar-plugin/

I was going to suggest jQueryUI calendar :)

I also thought of that but jqueryui is so bloated feeling for me :/

It is, but use the core and load in the modules you need?  Still somewhat bloated for such functionality though...
