Just needed something like this! Thanks for sharing! One thing is that february is misspelled in the array! febuary vs february! ;) And maybe change the variable being passed as number of month instead of month name.... also to overcome 'misspellments'....

But the at the last if-statement is needs to be $day is smaller OR EQUAL to $days_in_month! Post went wrong?

Yes you can re-use it - I'm aware that there are a few bugs etc. but I haven't had a chance to update it yet (apologies) I intended it to use the MIT license like Cake itself - when I re factored and cleaned up the code a bit. So anyway feel free to use it but I would really appreciate a reference to the source in the code and if you have blog or website just a quick link back to fliplflops.org - but up to you. Somebody else contacted me about using the coed as the basis for a Cake Helper, but I don't know if they have released any code yet - but it might be worth looking in the bakery. Cheers John Hi Andy

In the meantime though it looks like some of you are finding it useful which is great. John Hi Evert

To use something like /calendar/2008/june you will probably need to add a .htaccess file if you don't have one the rule would need to be something like: <code> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^calendar/([0-9]+)/(*.)$ calendar.php?year=$1&month=$2 [L] </code> (haven't checked the above though - but you get the idea...) p.s. there might still be a bug in the above code that won't show the last day of the month (can't remember if I have updated it yet). p.s. 2 - worth looking at the new version of this at http://www.flipflops.org/2008/04/08/cakephp-calendar-helper/ Hi Peter

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^calendar/([0-9]+)/(*.)$ calendar.php?year=$1&month=$2 [L]

(haven’t checked the above though - but you get the idea…)

p.s. there might still be a bug in the above code that won’t show the last day of the month (can’t remember if I have updated it yet).
