Would like to know the code for putting the calendar on the desktop of winxp?
 
I use a PHP calender...
PHP:
<?php
    
    $today = getdate(time());    //get today's date
    for($i=0;$i<37;$i++){        //initialize calendar array
        $days[$i] = "";          //5 rows of 7, 1 row of 2
    }
    $timestamp = mktime(12,0,0,$today["mon"],1,$today["year"]); //1st day of month
    $temp = getdate($timestamp);
    $i = $temp['wday']; //first day of week in calendar - SUN == 0
    while(TRUE){    //fill-in days for calendar
        $cday = getdate($timestamp);
        if($cday['mon'] != $today['mon'])
            break;        //break on new month
        $days[$i] = $cday['mday']; //assign date
        $timestamp += 86400;  //add one day
        $i++; //increment array index
    }
    //start building calendar
    echo "

<font face='Verdana' color=#000080 size='2' color=#67D9FF align=center><b>{$today['month']} {$today['year']}</b></font>
<table bgcolor='#679BE9' border='3' cellpadding='1' cellspacing='1' style='border-collapse: collapse'  bordercolor='#000080' width=300>

        else

        echo "</tr>
              </table></center>";
?>
But without a PHP web server this is no use, im sure other people use an app, i think its call rainlender or some wierd name like that.....
 
you got it Speedy Rainlender is the name of the program. Its small and skinnable so it should work fine for you mad max
 
Ahar, my memory served me well :D
i knew i'd heard some name threw around the October desktop thread :)
 
Hey, thanks for the info I went with the Rainlender for now until I have time to write in the php code.
 
I will be releasing a JavaScript written calendar with my next tutorial (a few days off). Stay tuned.
 
woo-hoo, calenders, tutz, and inevetably cake (for me at least \o/)
/me jiggy wigglz
 
yeah! wait, err. nevermind.
 
/me send madmatt extra coffee thinking it may get the tutorial out faster.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
