The class uses the date function to format all of the dates. In order to localize the dates it would need to be modified to use the strftime() instead. I believe most of the changes would mainly be needed in the output_calendar method for anything roughly based on the Gregorian calendar. For example line 86 of the class:

$output .= "" . date("F Y", $month_start_date) . "\n";

That would need to be changed to:

$output .= "" . strftime("%B %Y", $month_start_date) . "\n";

As I'm not an expert on all the various calendars of the world. I'm sure there may be other issues cased by some of my "hard coded" formating. I am planning to rewrite as much of that code as possible for the next release. With that done, implementing localization might be a trivial task. I'm sure I'll miss something and create a problem for some local out there, but I'll certainly give it a try.

Hello i’am trying to get your calendar to work in Dutch….
With something like this….

/* zet de locale op Dutch */
setlocale (LC_ALL, ‘nl_NL’);

/* Output: vrijdag 22 december 1978 */
echo strftime (”%A %e %B %Y”, mktime (0, 0, 0, 12, 22, 1978));

but the data from the calendar stay’s in English.
Can help me on my way? Thanks

My intention really wasn’t to provide a ready made calendar, only to provide a versatile class people could use to generate calendars for their own uses. The class outputs ready to style html, you need to provide the CSS to give it the layout & look that you want. A sample and style sheet is included in the download for the general calendar display. The full year view requires a few additional style rules which can be seen by viewing source on that sample. You are more than welcome to reference my styles for help in creating your own. If I get time in the next day or so, I’ll try to put together a separate download for the year-at-a-time view. Also, if you have specific questions or issues, feel free to ask.

Hi,

I just tried out your code and it is just what I have been looking for. Hopefully I can use it in a project I am about to start.

Thanks for sharing.
