Multiple Day Event on calendar
hello,
I have a php/mysql event calendar. However at the moment it only shows the first day of the event and then doesn't do anything else.
I'm posting my code below in case anyone wants to make a stab at making it show more than one day for an event.
(here is my db rows)
INSERT INTO `calendar` VALUES(1, 1, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, 'test', NULL, '2009-06-23', '2009-06-23', '16:00:00', '23:00:00', 'this si a test', 'DGBC', 2);
INSERT INTO `calendar` VALUES(2, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 'Vacation', NULL, '2009-07-02', '2009-07-07', '00:00:00', '01:00:00', 'Vacation in San Diego', 'San Diego', 2);

Please post the data base schema or the create table statement.
OK, after looking over the class I will tell you how I handle this in my calendar.
I use a query something like this to find events that are happening on a given day (pidgin SQL):
SELECT * FROM calendar WHERE \"$today\" BETWEEN start AND end
You can also do this with some PHP programming. The key is to know the start and end dates for each calendar item. I can see that you are selecting the start date, so a step in the right direction might be to select the end date, too.

Do you use that sql statement for each day of the month in the calendar?
CREATE TABLE `calendar` (
`calendar_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`site_id` int(11) default NULL,
`creator_id` int(11) default NULL,
`created` date default NULL,
`last_modified_id` int(11) default NULL,
`last_modified` date default NULL,
`title` varchar(100) default NULL,
`visible` smallint(6) default NULL,
`start_date` date default NULL,
`end_date` date default NULL,
`start_time` time NOT NULL,
`end_time` time NOT NULL,
`content` text NOT NULL,
`location` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`ministry_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`calendar_id`)

ok I think I understand what you do.
However what do you do for in between the days of start adn end?
So say I have an event that starts on Mon and ends on Fri.
Currently my system will only show link on Mon.

Right, I understand that part of the issue. If you look at the "while" iterator above on line 20-24 it sets an element in the caldata array to TRUE for every day that has an event or part of an event. When I display the monthly calendar, I display a link to the daily calendar for every day that is TRUE in the caldata array.
In the daily calendar script, I use the date from the GET argument to find all the events that are happening on that day.
Does that help? ~Ray

ah so first you are looping through records from db. then you loop through caldata.
any ideas on how I can switch mine to be like yours?
I will give you the points now though. You have helped me out quiet a bit

Thanks for the points - it's a good question, for sure.
Not sure about this, but...
I think the SELECT statement in the post above might be modified to be aware of the "end" date of the event. It looks like it is only selecting the start dates.

Just in case anyone wants the code to calendar class that displays multiple events per day and events over a one day period it will show it for each day.
(still working on class so maybe bugs but it can at least get you on right track)
