Evolt.org have a new tutorial on creating a quick calendar using AJAX and PHP. The tutorial is more focused on the PHP part of the calendar with small improvement to add AJAX Capability and make it more user friendly. You can see the demo working online and get the source code here. The tutorial is very basic, and the calendar need some more work to improve its usability and make it easy to integrate in your application, but it's an excellent start.
In this tutorial, we went through the concept of how to create a web calendar using AJAX and PHP. I left the details in the code to prevent the tutorial becoming too long and indigestable. If you look at the code hard enough, you will notice that I packed a lot of codes in one file. As a good programming practice, I should have broken them down into smaller parts/files. Because the objective of this project is to create a quick "plug and forget" calendar system, I did that on purpose.
