如何使用PHP代码将日期从数据库表加载到fullcalender？ [没有ajax]

Question

I have a fullCalender plugin and a database table with a field in the DATETIME datatype. Currently my calendar is just showing the events that I have hardcoded in the calendar.js file.

title: 'event_name', 
start: new Date(y, m, 16),

Some part of my code in calendar.js looks similar to the above section.

I have the basic knowledge in PHP and MySQL and also knowing very well that I can do it with the ajax calls. But I am in a requirement to do the same in PHP. Now how can I load the events[dates] from my table and show them in the curresponding dates in the calendar?

[Please notice that I am restricted to use ajax and json ]

Some help from your side may take me through my solution. Thank you.

Answer 1

maybe this is the solution:

1. in a .htaccess add rewrite rule: RewriteRule ^calendardata.js$ calendardata.php [NC,L]
2. in calendardata.php print your data as in the calendardata.js
3. include calendardata.js in your page

Answer 2

Can simply pass the events array from php to javascript variable and then pass that javascript variable to the fullcalendar plugin initialization object

Somewhere in html output:

<script>
  var events = <?= json_encode( $eventsArray) ?>;
</script>

Then in calendar.js

$(function(){
   $('#myCalendarDiv').fullcalendar({
        events: events,
        /* other options */
   });
});
