newbie - Is there a calendar module for date entry?

newbie ...

- is there a calendar module for date fields?

- so that a small calendar pops up - then you can click on a date,
to add to a field - like google or yahoo calendars has...?

BTW: I saw this - but it doesn't seem to be the right thing ( more
meant for Converter issues) for what I'm looking for...

That is javascript thing, not PHP.

The Yahoo UI has a nice one, here you have an example:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/calendar/calcontaine r_clean.html,
and here the module reference:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/calendar/

That's not what the op asked for.

When I do these sorts of things, I tend to use Tigra calendar. They do
two versions, the free and the pro version, but tbh, the free one does
everything you need. It's very easy to set up too.

Um.... what's the difference? I've used both the YUI and Tigra's free
calendar. In both, you click on a button and a small calander widget
pops up allowing the user to select a date for a field on a web form.
Neither is a PHP feature; both rely on JavaScript.

Not quite, I have my main computer, but being without the laptop is
quite annoying! The only thing now is getting the ruddy thing set up
back to the way I want it!

The Yahoo UI looks great.

Hi Ashley - the free one seems to be just the thing. - thanks

Thanks to all - They both look good - I'm checking them out now!

Another newbie question: storing dates and times...

I'm trying to build a simple notepad page where I can attach a date
and even time field. So this Tigra or yahoo calendar will be great
date picker helper.

This is for the US, so I'd like the user to see normal us formatting
like:

date field - 7/1/2009 and separate time field like: 11:30 AM

mysql can use a DATE or TIME or datetime field type. and seems to use
a different standard like: YYYY-MM-DD I want to to be able to do date
calcs and such - so what is the best way (types) to store these
fields in mysql and display them on the page with php?

I do know about some of the cool php functions like:

echo date('m-d-y g:i a', strtotime($row_this['myDate']));

so do I? ... store the date and time in separate fields then
manipulate the display with php functions or???

- just looking for any favorite practices....

If you want to be doing date calculations within MySQL then you should
MySQL's datetime or date type. You can use the date() function of PHP to
format the date for display however you wish though, which might be
worth looking at?

The YYYY-MM-DD is an ISO date format which makes date sorting simple. I
typically store dates in this format in databases (though it's usually
configurable).

For outside-database uses, I coded a date class which uses Julian days
as its basic unit of storage. One of the issues I wanted to avoid is the
upcoming "Y2K-like" issue with Unix timestamps. In many places, unix
timestamps are stored as 32 bit integers, which will reach their
capacity, I believe, in 2038. (We'll probably all have 64 bit machines
by then.) Thus, the class generally doesn't consult Unix timestamps This
makes duration and date calculations simple. If you like, I can email
you the class privately.

Store times as a separate field.

Re: newbie - Is there a calendar module for date entry?

Here is a simple but effective one, which has the advantage of
optionally doing datetime.

If anyone knows of others that do both date and datetime, I'd love to
see them.
