A common function on many php (or other data driven) sites is to loop through an array and write the contents of the array to the page. It is preferable to spread your data over multiple columns instead of writing it all in a straight list thus forcing your readers to scroll forever. Here is an easy way to dynamically write your cells and rows using expressions.
The following function compares two dates in the dd/mm/yyyy format. It uses the PHP function gregoriantojd() as mktime() is unreliable for dates < 1970. The mcal_date_compare also relies on the mcal libraries being installed. One improvement could be a third parameter passed in with the actual date format to be used.

Creating a PNG with PHP. This could be expanded to create a security image for use in forms to check for robots. Just set $string to a randomly generated string. From php.net: "This example would be called from a page with a tag like: <img src="button.php?text=text">. The above button.php script then takes this "text" string and overlays it on top of a base image which in this case is "images/button1.png" and outputs the resulting image. This is a very convenient way to avoid having to draw new button images every time you want to change the text of a button. With this method they are dynamically generated." This script taken from the PHP manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php).
