How to Display a PHP Calendar on an HTML Page
HTML is the standard computer language for formatting Web pages and other Internet content, such as multimedia email. It creates the layout of a page and controls the style, text and images that appear. PHP is a programming language that runs on Web servers. It allows for the presence of dynamic content that changes through visitor interaction on a Web page. A PHP calendar is an example of a small PHP program that can run on an HTML page to offer a website greater features and interactivity. You can add a PHP calendar to any Web page by integrating a calendar script with the HTML.
