hi,
i need to store the date as $day, $month, $year and then build it into some
selectors when a user returns to the page. so they chhose a date and it
stays constant as they move around the site. i have a department id that
does the same and i've duplicated the code for day, month, year etc and it
simply doesn't work.
it works when i refresh the page but not when i go to another page and then
back again.
this is the bit that sets the sessions vars whihc is on a page called
login2, which deals with the login stuff (strangely enough :-)
session_register("cday");
session_register("cmonth");
session_register("cyear");
then in the department calendar i have ....
if (isset($cday))
{
$day = intval($cday);
}
if (isset($cmonth))
{
$month = intval($cmonth);
}
if (isset($cyear))
{
$year = intval($cyear);
}
// date option drop downs
if ( (!checkdate($month, $day, $year)) || (isset($today)) )
{
print "if !checkdate fired";
$nowArray = getdate();
$cday = $nowArray[mday];
$cmonth = $nowArray[mon];
$cyear = $nowArray[year];
unset($today);
}
$start = mktime (0, 0, 0, $cmonth, $cday, $cyear );
// date used in adding date lines
$start2 = mktime (0, 0, 0, $cmonth, $cday, $cyear );
$firstDayArray = getdate ($start);
echo '<select name="cday" onChange="document.thisForm.submit()">';
for ($x=1; $x<=31; $x++)
{
if (checkdate($cmonth, $x, $cyear)) // add if valid day number for
month
{
print "<option value=".$x;
//print $x.date(S);
print ($x == intval($cday)) ? " SELECTED":"";
print ">".$x;
}
}
print "</select>";
echo '<select name="cmonth" onChange="document.thisForm.submit()">';
$months = Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
"July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
for ($x=1; $x <= count($months); $x++)
{
print "\t<option value=\"$x\" ";
print ($x == intval($cmonth)) ? " SELECTED":" ";
print ">".$months[$x-1]."\n";
}
echo ' </select> ';
echo '<select name="cyear" onChange="document.thisForm.submit()">';
for ($x=1998; $x<2004; $x++)
{
print "\t<option";
print ($x == intval($cyear)) ? " SELECTED":" ";
print ">$x\n";
}
echo ' </select> ';
echo '';
echo '<input type="submit" name="today" value="Today">';
--- sorry abouyt the log paste ...
ok. this is what happens.
when the user clicks today the date is set to todays. this works.
when they choose a day, month or year the form refreshes and shows the
correct calendar info. this works.
when they go to another page and then back again, the calendar defaults back
to todays date. i need the date to be the same as it was when they left the
page.
i've been staring at it for 2 hours now ...
tia,
Steve Brett
