ignace Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 If you are wondering how you would model this at a DB-level: driver (driver_id, ..) bus (bus_id, num_passenger_seats, ..) tour (tour_id, ..) schedule (tour_id, bus_id, driver_id, date, price) customer (customer_id, ..) booking (customer_id, schedule_id, ..) This should get you started.

Lisa23 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 no i mean how will the form retrive the data from the database exacly based on the departure city and arrival city and dependeable on the date he choses like lets say the user chooses depart from california on the 6th july 2011 so the it should display alll the schedule accordingly with the departure city and date. so how would i set the database tables? just like how he retrives the schedule on this bus timetable http://gotobus.com/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239360-what-would-the-conceptstructure-to-create-a-booking-system/#findComment-1229706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
