How to Pull out "1 of" from a Seeming Array in a For Each Statement
Hi Folks,
We are working on Gizzmo's Calendar Mod 2.0.x (will be posting an update with his blessing soon) , and beeing as how my php skills are a work in progress (or so we hope), I am hoping to get some pointers in a viable direction here...
The below function code uses a for/each loop to create a configurable display of 3 months, i.e. last month, this month, and next month. There are a couple things I wish to do... I think I will simply ask one thing at a time...
So First thing then, is how to 'call out' from the function -the current month, or 2nd item (during the loop)?
I thought maybe 'mini_cal' function would result in some sort of array I could fetch the desired result out of after completion, or that I could catch the item while 'for/each' is looping ...but I still cannot figure it out (after a couple days at it - whew-). I am missing some pivitol understanding so I can work the problem. Maybe some of you can help point me?
Here is the mini_cal function code. I think its pretty staightforward, with a lot of conditions and such in the middle which we are mostly unconcerned with:
/*=================*/
/*= Mini Calendar =*/
/*=================*/
function mini_cal($month, $year, $place){
global $db, $pun_user, $CFG_start_day, $lang_calendar, $type;
for($X=($month-1); $X<=($month+1); $X++)
{
$month_start = mktime(0,0,0,$X,1,$year);
$day_in_mth = date("t", $month_start);
$monthtext = date("F", $month_start);
$day_text = date("D", $month_start);
$month_year = date("Y", $month_start);
$month_no = date("n", $month_start);
$day_of_wk = start_date(date("w", $month_start));
$month_end = mktime(23,59,59,$X,$day_in_mth,$year);
//Find the birthdays for "said" day
$result = $db->query('SELECT DAYOFMONTH(birthday) as day FROM '.$db->prefix.'users WHERE MONTH(birthday) = '.$month_no.' LIMIT 1') or error('Unable to fetch birtday list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
$bdays = array('','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','');
while($bday_list = $db->fetch_assoc($result)){
$bdays[$bday_list['day']] .="<a href='calendar.php?view=bday&date=".$month_year.".".$month_no.".".$bday_list['day']."'>".$bday_list['day']."</a><br />";
};
//Find the events for "said" day
$result = $db->query('SELECT id, title, DAYOFMONTH(date) as day FROM '.$db->prefix.'calendar WHERE MONTH(date) = '.$month_no.' AND (YEAR(date) = '.$month_year.' OR YEAR(date) = "1900")') or error('Unable to fetch calendar dates', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
$dates = array('','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','');
while($dates_list = $db->fetch_assoc($result)){
$dates[$dates_list['day']] = "<a href='calendar.php?view=event&date=".$month_year.".".$month_no.".".$dates_list['day']."'>".$dates_list['day']."</a><br />";
};

}And variations of the following can be used to call the result:
<?php
//get current month and year
$month_no = date("n");
$year = date("Y");
//show mini calendar
?> <div style='float:right; width:215px'><?php mini_cal1($month_no, $year, "week"); ?></div><?php
?>My ideas were (1 + 2)...
1) catch it right in here:
if($place == 'main' && $X==($month-1))
{
echo "\t\t</td><td valign='top' style='border:none;padding:0; margin:0'>\n";
$X=($month);
}
elseif($place == 'week')
echo "\t\t<br />\n";OR
2) Pull it out of here -afterwards-:
mini_cal($month_no, $year, "week");
But alas, all my methods fall short because I don't quite understand it well enough.
Cannot some array values be fetched/parsed from that somehow? I tried my hand at a few techniques (without a debugger - so I am kind of working blind |^| ) but I drew blanks. Obviously I don't have a firm grasp of some pertinent basics.
Look forward to your replys / direction.
