CGI Calendar Script
Hello, Well for my next project I'm trying to build an interactive calendar system using Perl/CGI. I've got it all worked out on paper...almost, but I can't figure out how to get the script to actually fill in the table of boxes which represent the days of the month. That is to say, how can I get the script to figure out that the 1st of July this year was a Monday? Anyone know of any example scripts or snippets of code I could look at for this project? Thanks, Roger -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Neat. I'd be quite interested in the finished product. I've been
searching (fruitlessly) for a calendar that will print multi-day events
in a lined-up bar across the days instead of jumbling events together.
Will yours work for me?

You mean something like
bash-2.05a$ cal 07 2002 | head -3
July 2002
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 3 4 5 6
bash-2.05a$ \
> perl -e 'use Date::Manip;print Date_DayOfWeek("7","1","2002") . "\n";'
1
bash-2.05a$ cal 08 1968 | head -3
August 1968
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 3
bash-2.05a$ \
> perl -e 'use Date::Manip;print Date_DayOfWeek("8","1","1968") . "\n";'
4
or so? :-) If you know the epoch time of a given date then localtime
will give you the day of the week, too, but I couldn't think of a way to
get the right expr to feed localtime in thirty seconds so I fell back on
an additional module (which is quite handy, BTW).

Our calendar does something like this within our day view. We call it a "chunking algorithm" to allow events to span different hours and overlap with other events within the same day while looking nice. Our month and week views do not do this same chunking (the events are just repeated) but the general chunking algorithm could probably be reused in our month and week views if this was something you were keen on.

Re: CGI Calendar Script
I remember installing Matt Kruse's calendar script. It'd be a good example. You can find it at http://www.CalendarScript.com/ Marcel Fortin Roger Spears wrote: > > Hello, > > Well for my next project I'm trying to build an interactive calendar > system using Perl/CGI. > > I've got it all worked out on paper...almost, but I can't figure out how > to get the script to actually fill in the table of boxes which represent > the days of the month.
