Cool.. just tried your script. I might try to convert it to Smarty template compatible code, in my spare time. Have you used Smarty Templates??

  Hello,

  I just finished writing a basic calendar script... I wanted to pass it out to everyone here... maybe someone could use it... or, even better optimize it.. .and maybe share that with me.

  <?php

  function Cal_Month()
   {
    // Get Today's Date
     $todays_date = getdate();
    
    // Determine what month to display
     if(isset($_GET['month']))
      {
       $resolve_time = "1 ".$_GET['month']." ".$_GET['year'];
       $resolve_first_day_of_month = strtotime($resolve_time);
       $resolved_date = getdate($resolve_first_day_of_month);
      }
      else
      { $resolved_date = $todays_date; }
    
    // if this is the current month - say it's okay to mark today on the calendar
     if($todays_date['year'] == $resolved_date['year'] && $todays_date['month'] == $resolved_date['month'])
      {  $mark_today_on_calendar = TRUE; }

    // HOW MANY DAYS ARE IN THIS MONTH
     $days_in_current_month = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $resolved_date['mon'], $resolved_date['year']);
    
    // STRING TO START THE CALENDAR ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH
     $show_month = $resolved_date['month'];
     $show_year = $resolved_date['year'];
    
    // Get Info for Current Displayed Month 
     $string_time = "1 ".$show_month." ".$show_year;
     $first_day_of_month = strtotime($string_time);
