Assistance with JQuery/PHP Calendar

Question

I am currently doing a project that includes a calendar which on clicking any date of the year will open another page to fill in certain information. The problem im having is i cant find a basic calendar anywhere with the ability to skip through to a previous or future month and be able to click on a specific date that will go to the page with the info to be entered.

Can anyone help me with a tutorial to build a calendar in javascript or PHP from scratch and has the ability to view previous or future months.

Much Appreciated

Had previously seen it but didnt see that it could be displayed inline. Thumbs up for the help fam — Damian Anthony

you're welcome. If you like inline date picker, you can check these basic example for learning: jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/tags/1.6rc4/demos/datepicker/… — user8675

Use jquery datepicker and send them to the new page using the datepicker's onSelect method:

$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ 
    onSelect: function (dateText, inst) {
         window.location = "/newpage/?date=" + dateText;
    } 
});

Just to make sure whats the purpose of the dateText

JamesPlayer Over a year ago

@DamianAnthony dateText is a string which represents the date that the user chose. This is just an example of how you can send it to the new page so you can access it with the PHP on the new page by using $_GET["date"]
