Depending on the number of records, the PHP<->MySQL connection speed,
and the indexes or lack thereof on your date column...
1. You could do a query for each date like:
select count(*) from events where whatdate = '$date'
2. You could pre-fill an array with dates that have an event:
select whatdate from events
where whatdate >= '$month/1/$year'
and whatdate < '{$month+1}/1/$year' /*might need something better here*/
group by whatdate
order by whatdate
while (list($whatdate) = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
$event_date[$whatdate] = true;
}
Then, while filling out the calendar, just check:
if (isset($event_date[$date])){
//color it as having events
}
