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: -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 -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.
