Question

I’m migrating my library’s website from webcal to google calendar. The site is written in PHP and HTML4.01 (moving from transitional towards strict). Is there a programatic way that I can generate links to calender days/entries? With webcal a link to the day view was:

www.mylibrary.com/calendar/day.php?YYYYMMDD

And so it was easy to programatically generate a link to a specific day.
I’ve been trying to find a way to do similar stuff w/ the google calendar and haven’t had much luck. I’d really like to be able to do something like

<p>The summer reading program kicks off <a href="
<?php echo "http://www.google.com/calendar/event?cid=".$mycalenderid."&eventdate=".$year.$month.$day; ?>
">May 5th</a></p>

Is this even remotely possible?

Answer 1

Much simpler solution:

if($_REQUEST['showday']!='') {$datetoshow=$_REQUEST['showday'];
$datetoshow = $datetoshow."/".$datetoshow;}

Blah blah page content

if ($datetoshow==""){?>
<iframe srtc=""> .... // regular embed text goes here.
<?} else {?>
<iframe src=""> // Add &amp;mode=DAY&amp;dates=<?echo $datetoshow;?> to the SRC code
<?}

Then it’s as simple as calling the page w/ day.php?showday=20100205 or whatever day I want.
Thanks for all the suggestions though!
