15 Best PHP Calendar, Booking & Events Scripts

There are several reasons PHP calendar, booking and events scripts
may be an indispensable addition to your website. If, for example, you’re a service provider, then
it makes sense to have an appointment booking system on your site that allows
potential customers to see your availability and select an appointment time and
date that is best for them. This could cut down on needless calls to your
business to make appointments and free up your time or your staff’s time for
other endeavours.

Online calendars are also handy for organisations of any
size to help team members share events and tasks and keep each other abreast of
what other members are working on.

Their usefulness isn’t just limited to companies, however. Artists,
writers, performers, bloggers and any other individual with an active public
life could make good use of online calendars to let followers and fans know
the whens and wheres of public appearances.

With all this in mind, we’ve compiled 15 of our best PHP Calendar, Booking & Events Scripts
