Do you need a PHP event calendar? Do you want a nice-looking monthly happening chart that displays your future program to your guests? Do you also want a way to manage the agenda statistics through a web based interface? The scriptcalendar software attached with the free of charge PHP event management system is your answer. How does it work? The original page you need is a database to store your statistics. Your calendar will display events based on this information. MySql is the main choice for a database when using PHP. However, a MySql database is not straightforward to include along with PHP source code. An XML file is an option for a database, and can easily be incorporated in a zip file of PHP source code. The PHP event running system uses an XML file as a database for that reason. Subsequent, you'll need to manage events in the database. You'll need to add, alter and delete events. You'll need an online interface to accomplish these tasks. The manageEvents. php fulfills those wants. It reads information from the XML file and displays it. You can create, edit and remove schedule items from the XML all through the manageEvents. php page. Then, you'll need to display the events to the surfers. The Scriptcalendar software renders the calendar. It is a javascript event calendar. It is cross browser compatible. It has over twelve themes to choose from. Bonus, it can easily be customized through properties and CSS. Finally, you'll need a way of providing events from the XML file or database to the scriptcalendar. The scevent. php page reads the XML facts and renders convincing javascript code. You point to the scevent. php from the javascript include, and the rendered code is run client side.
