I've written about how you can send data to ColdFusion from another task on your server, such as passing an email from your mail system to CF through a shell script. But what if the shell script doesn't work, or what if you're on Windows and don't have access to scripting at all? Well, you can also use PHP to pass the data. Here's how.

The Flash calendar that the CFCALENDAR tag generates is pretty handy. It looks sharp and can be sized to whatever dimensions you need, but in my opinion it has one major feature omitted: it can't be configured to let the user select a whole week or month at a time. I know plenty of applications where you'd want to be able to select a date range with just one click of the mouse, as you can do in the calendar for Google Analytics.

So to that end, I'm contributing the following calendar CFC to the developer community. It looks and acts like the Flash-based CFCALENDAR, but it will let you select a week or month as well as a single day.
