Description:
------------
I want to have several diary events for my calendar on the same day. I've duplicated more or less your example code with the small change that I have month -> days.

The problem is that there is as I can see no way of having multiple events in one day when examining a month. There is also no support for having events that occur at the same time.

Please consider adding the functionality, I believe that a diary without the possibility to have multiple entries on the same day/time is unrealistic and will because of that not be used.

Reproduce code:
---------------
require_once 'Calendar/Month/Weekdays.php';
require_once 'Calendar/Day.php';
require_once 'Calendar/Hour.php';
require_once 'Calendar/Decorator.php';

// Decorator to "attach" functionality to selected hours
class DiaryEvent extends Calendar_Decorator {
    var $entry;
    function DiaryEvent($calendar) {
        Calendar_Decorator::Calendar_Decorator($calendar);
    }
    function setEntry($entry) {
        $this->entry = $entry;
    }
    function getEntry() {
        return $this->entry;
    }
}

if (!isset($_GET['Y'])) $_GET['Y'] = date('Y');
if (!isset($_GET['m'])) $_GET['m'] = date('m');

$Month = new Calendar_Month_Weekdays($_GET['Y'], $_GET['m']);

$Times = array(
	array("Date" => "2004-05-20", 
			"StartTime" => "12:10:00", 
			"EndTime" => "14:00:00"),
	array("Date" => "2004-05-20", 
			"StartTime" => "15:10:00", 
			"EndTime" => "18:00:00"));

// An array to place selected hours in
$selection = array();

// Loop through the "database result"
foreach ( $Times as $Time ) {
    $d = explode("-", substr($Time["Date"],0, strlen("2004-01-01")));
    $year = $d[0];
    $month = $d[1];
    $day = $d[2];
    unset($d);

    $d = explode(":", $Time["StartTime"]);
    $h = $d[0];
    $min = $d[1];
    $sec = $d[2];
    unset($d);

	    $MDay = new Calendar_Day(2000,1,1,1); // Create Hour with dummy values
	
	    $MDay->setTimeStamp(mktime($h, $min, $sec, $month, $day, $year));

	    // Create the decorator, passing it the Hour
	    $DiaryEvent = new DiaryEvent($MDay);
	
		$msg = '<a style="font-size: 1em;"'
			.' href="delivery_time.php?ID=' . $Time["ID"] . '">'
			.  substr($Time["StartTime"], 0, 2)  
			. '<span style="position: relative; top: -.5em; font-size: .6em;">'
			. substr($Time["StartTime"], 3, 2) . "</span>"
			."-"
			. substr($Time["EndTime"], 0, 2)  
			. '<span style="position: relative; top: -.5em; font-size: .6em;">'
			. substr($Time["EndTime"], 3, 2) . "</span>"
			."</a>";
	
	    // Attach the payload
	    $DiaryEvent->setEntry($msg);
	
	    // Add the decorator to the selection
	    $selection[] = $DiaryEvent;
}


$Month->build($selection);

$OutputCalendar .= "<table class=\"time\">\n";
$today = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("now"));
while ($Day = $Month->fetch()) {
    if ($Day->isFirst()) {
        $OutputCalendar .= "<tr>\n";
    }

    if ($Day->isEmpty()) {
        $OutputCalendar .= "<td> </td>\n";
    } else {
       	if ( $Day->isSelected() ) {
			if ($today == date("Y-m-d", $Day->thisDay(TRUE))){
	    	    $OutputCalendar .= '<td id="selectedToday"><strong>'.$Day->thisDay()."</strong>\n";
			}else{
				$OutputCalendar .= '<td id="selectedTime"><strong>'.$Day->thisDay()."</strong>\n";
			}
    	    $OutputCalendar .= "<br />" .$Day->getEntry()."\n";
		}elseif ($today == date("Y-m-d", $Day->thisDay(TRUE))){
    	    $OutputCalendar .= '<td id="selectedToday"><strong>'.$Day->thisDay()."</strong>\n";
		}else{
    	    $OutputCalendar .= '<td><strong>'.$Day->thisDay()."</strong>\n";
		}
				
		$OutputCalendar .= '</td>';
    }

    if ($Day->isLast()) {
        $OutputCalendar .= "</tr>\n";
    }
}

$OutputCalendar .= "</table></p>\n";
echo $OutputCalendar;

Expected result:
----------------
I would like there to be a function for iterating through the diary events so that they are all displayed.

Actual result:
--------------
Only one of the two events that that are shown.

Thanks for your answer. Would be good to add that to your examples. 

As I understand a simple:
while($entry = $Day->getEntry()){
 ...
}

should work. That would be neat and efficient.

Is there a good way of adding an entry that spans several hours/days/months? That would also be interesting. I guess that can be done by adding multiple objects but that seems to me like an less desirable way to go...
