php table problem

  • I was wondering if somebody could show me how to put this calendar table in a row like a list of events.
    here is the code
    <?php
    /* draws a calendar */
    function draw_calendar($month,$year){

    /* draw table */
    $calendar = '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="calendar">';

    /* table headings */
    $headings = array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
    $calendar.= '<tr class="calendar-row"><td class="calendar-day-head">'.implode('</td><td class="calendar-day-head">',$headings).'</td></tr>';

    /* days and weeks vars now ... */
    $running_day = date('w',mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year));
    $days_in_month = date('t',mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year));
    $days_in_this_week = 1;
    $day_counter = 0;
    $dates_array = array();

    /* row for week one */
    $calendar.= '<tr class="calendar-row">';

    /* print "blank" days until the first of the current week */
    for($x = 0; $x < $running_day; $x++):
    $calendar.= '<td class="calendar-day-np">&nbsp;</td>';
    $days_in_this_week++;
    endfor;

    /* keep going with days.... */
    for($list_day = 1; $list_day <= $days_in_month; $list_day++):
    $calendar.= '<td class="calendar-day">';
    /* add in the day number */
    $calendar.= '<div class="day-number">'.$list_day.'</div>';

    /** QUERY THE DATABASE FOR AN ENTRY FOR THIS DAY !! IF MATCHES FOUND, PRINT THEM !! **/
    $calendar.= str_repeat('<p>&nbsp;</p>',2);

    $calendar.= '</td>';
    if($running_day == 6):
    $calendar.= '</tr>';
    if(($day_counter+1) != $days_in_month):
    $calendar.= '<tr class="calendar-row">';
    endif;
    $running_day = -1;
    $days_in_this_week = 0;
    endif;
    $days_in_this_week++; $running_day++; $day_counter++;
    endfor;

    /* finish the rest of the days in the week */
    if($days_in_this_week < 8):
    for($x = 1; $x <= (8 - $days_in_this_week); $x++):
    $calendar.= '<td class="calendar-day-np">&nbsp;</td>';
    endfor;
    endif;

    /* final row */
    $calendar.= '</tr>';

    /* end the table */
    $calendar.= '</table>';

    /* all done, return result */
    return $calendar;
    }
    ?>


    here is the usage
    <?php
    /* sample usages */
    echo '<h1>July 2009</h1>';
    echo draw_calendar(7,2012);
    ?>

    <?php
    echo '<h1>August 2009</h1>';
    echo draw_calendar(8,2012);
    ?>
  • can somebody please help me with this?
