What are some best practices for integrating event calendars directly into PHP code?

Integrating event calendars directly into PHP code can be achieved by using a library like FullCalendar. This library allows you to easily display and manage events within your PHP application. By following best practices such as properly handling data retrieval and formatting, you can seamlessly integrate event calendars into your PHP code. 

// Example code snippet using FullCalendar library to display events

// Include FullCalendar library
require 'path/to/fullcalendar';

// Retrieve events data from database
$events = array(
    // Fetch events data from database or any other source
);

// Format events data for FullCalendar
$calendarEvents = array();
foreach ($events as $event) {
    $calendarEvents[] = array(
        'title' => $event['title'],
        'start' => $event['start_date'],
        'end' => $event['end_date'],
    );
}

// Initialize FullCalendar
echo '<div id="calendar"></div>';
echo '<script>
    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
        var calendarEl = document.getElementById("calendar");
        var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
            initialView: "dayGridMonth",
            events: ' . json_encode($calendarEvents) . ',
        });
        calendar.render();
    });
</script>';
