Active Calendar - v1.0.3. Free GNU Lesser General Public License source code by Giorgos. Active Calendar is a PHP (Personal Home Pages) Class that generates calendars (month or year view) as HTML tables (XHTML-Valid). It can produce static calendars without any links or calendars with navigation controls, a date picker control, event days and content with event URLs, and linkable days (optionally URL or Javascript). The layout can be configured using CSS, and JavaScript is not required. The supported dates (on systems using a 32-bit signed integer Unix time_t) are: 1902-2037 (Unix) and 1971-2037 (Windows), when using the default PHP native date functions, and 100-3000 and later, when using the ADOdb Date Library. The class can now accept different URLs for the day and navigation links. A new example script has been added to demonstrate how to set events using an XML file.
