Hey there kirupa!

alright so im trying to make a calendar and essentially i will be inputting data into a Txt file via a server side php script. but thats not what i am about to talk about :).

what i need to know is how this calendar (the attachment) gets the data from the txt file then converts it so the calendar recognizes where to put the event data. i understand AS, like i know the  
[SIZE=2]loadVariablesNum is loading the stuff from the txt file, but then what happens? how is the data used?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]see what i plan on doing is use the datechooser component and turn it into a event calendar. but i need to know how something like where &e05022000 is used.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]thanks for your time. [/SIZE]

PS i hope this is in the right forum catergory 😛
