Need an Dynamic/Interactive Event Calendar

[jcdb]

Hello,

I am hoping someone can recommend an interactive events calender by category/month/year either in perl/CGI or php/mysql to be run in a linux server.

My requirements are:
* I need an events calendar for a website

* It needs to be hosted externally or ultra-easy to install on Linux server

* Users need to be able to add/edit thier owen events
(Also set fields such as date/venue/target audience etc, to keep consistent and not have to reenter these each time)

* Needs to be customisable to look and feel of website it will link from

* Needs ability to apply categories, and perhaps filter view by categories

* needs to have block and list views

* system should be able to dynamically display events of the day, featured events and event counts

* Most importantly, users' add event interface must be very easy to use.

* There is a small budget available (approx <US$250)
MAIN Feature should be Post Events, Edits events, My profile, My calendar, Auto Events Reminder/notify, upload event pictures.

Any ideas?
JCBD

I would recommend a free remotely hosted calendar called localendar (google it). It is somewhat customizable to your site. I stickied you the URL, incase you can't find it.

THnaks,
I got it ( [localendar.com...] Someone also recommended [phplite.com...]

What do you think about phplite 's version?

Wow, I like it better than localendar! It looks a lot cleaner and user-friendly, but it does not appear to be free.

I just came across another called Magic Calendar Lite (google "HotScripts.com :: PHP :: Calendars :: Magic Calendar Lite" to find it). This one has a free version, and is very pleasing to the eye.
