these variables are used pulling an rss feed from a google calendar:
// $right_now=date("Y-m-d")."T00:00:00-05.00";
$right_now="2010-10-08T00:00:00-05:00";
// $end_time=date("Y-m-d")."T23:59:59-05.00";
$end_time="2010-10-08T23:59:59-05:00";
$feed = "
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/lexington.k12.il.us_6etvr95vct7ktb9r22dm59ga2s%40group.calendar.google.com/";
.
"public/full?orderby=starttime&singleevents=true&" .
"sortorder=ascending&" .
"start-min=" . $right_now . "&" .
"start-max=" . $end_time;
The hard coded ones work, the ones that pull today's date do not.
