How to create a dynamic calendar with MySQL, PHP etc

[7331]

I am looking to create a calendar based on some pre-existing event entries. I currently have a event creation system using MySQL and PHP. However, I can only list these in an agenda format, sorted by soonest event. Is there some existing method of creating a monthly calendar based on events in a database? I have little coding experience, so I don't think I would be able to create my own calendar system, but with some coding help, I might be able to piece something together. My preferred end result would be to have a calendar with the event titles in the correct day (trimmed down to fit, possibly), with a link to the event page, and on hover, tooltip-like popup (I have something already implemented in the agenda.) Also, I would be willing to use PHP, MySQL, Javascript, or Jquery technologies, as I already have those on my server.Thanks
