jasonturner Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi I have a small holiday cottage business that im starting up, and am in the process of designing a website that will allow the customers to book online. I have created the tables for the database in MySQL and am going to use php to link the forms to the database. I believe i need a query to query the database in order to prevent double bookings . I have started a query: select gite_id, date_checkin, date_checkout(date_checkin-date_checkout)/1000000 from reservation; i need to get this query to query the database in php or something to allow the customer to identify if the cottage is booked or not. Any ideas on how i can elaborate this. Any ideas are more than appreciated Jason [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 What I did for my reservation system was plug in a value if a reservation was made for that day, instead of trying to checkin/checkout type of compare. So if they book it for 4 days, mark those 4 days as being booked, then you can check each day and see if it's available. Hope that makes sense.
