Can I Do This?

[jcohn]

I am looking at using the Easy PHP Calendar application to display workflow deadlines on my intranet. I want to pull the workflow data from an Oracle database and have it display on the calendar for the individual which is logged in to our website for the month they have chosen. Can I dynamically populate the calendar displays when the webpage is requested?

I hope that makes sense.

No, the calendar uses its own database to feed the display. You have to use a flat-file or mySQL database.

Thank you for your reply. I was pretty sure I could not have Easy PHP Calendar pull the data from my workflow database directly. My question is whether I can automatically populate the Easy PHP Calendar either in a flat file or the MySql database using some sort of API interface rather than having someone manually enter calendar information through the Easy PHP interface.

There is no API, but if you're able to create something that will get the data either in the flat-file or the mysql, it will work - but you have to make sure to follow all formats and conventions.

I don't think it's ever been attempted.
