Answers

How the default selected date can be modified or deleted?

To modify the default selected date, you only need to select the calendar text field in the web page, and modify the "Init Val" in the properties inspector. If you don't want to select any date by default, leave the Init Va field empty.

How can I get and format the posted date using PHP?

Sample page for procesing and formatting the selected date:

<html>
<head>
 <title>Procesing and Formatting Sample</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php

// get the date
$result = $_POST["myCalendar"];
echo "Entered date: " .$result . " ";

// get the timestamp
$timestamp = strtotime($result);

// formatting date, various formats
echo "Format 1: ". date("F j, Y", $timestamp) . " ";
echo "Format 2: ". date("m.d.y", $timestamp) . " ";
echo "Format 3: ". date("j, m, Y", $timestamp) . " ";
echo "Format 4: ". date("Y-m-d", $timestamp) . " ";

?>
</body>
</html>

Note: Change the "myCalendar" by your calendar ID on your page.

How can I use another language in the calendar?

If you want to use a different language in the calendar, you only need to modify the iphoneCalendar.js file inside the iphone folder.

By default the calendar is in english language. The lines to modify are presented below:

var week_days = ['sun', 'mon', 'tue', 'wed', 'thu', 'fri', 'sat'];
var months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];

If you want to use the calendar in another language, spanish for example, you only need to replace the previous lines as below:

var week_days = ['dom', 'lun', 'mar', 'mie', 'jue', 'vie', 'sab'];
var months = ['Ene', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Abr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Ago', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dic'];

Setting writing permissions to a folder.

On Linux/Unix based webservers, FTP programs ("clients") allows setting permissions for files and directories on your remote host. This function is often called chmod or set permissions in the program menu.

Writing permissions is similar to "777" permissions or "rwx-rwx-rwx" permissions. You may see some of these representation in your FTP program.

On Windows based webservers the permissions should be set through the webhosting control panel.
