I am implementing some travel product booking project with codeigniter framework & mysql database.
The problem is there are different availability to those products and i want to save & fetch availability of product easily
When user searches by date i need to fetch available tours & activities on that date
Ex:
Experiences
Themeparks - It available everyday with opening & closing timing. User has to select date only to book it (for some parks one of the weekday will be holiday)
Cooking Classes - these will have slots, user has to book particular date & time slot on that day to book it
Tours
Group Tours - Provider will give fixed dates, user has to select from those dates to book it
Individual Tours - User can select any date to book it
I had to work on two individual scheduling solutions for experiences & tours. Please help me to do it
Just use RRule to create scheduling like that

I am currently trying to build a reservation system for a tennis club.
The original idea was that people are paying for a subscription and play always on the same time/day in the week.
That would be fairly easy for me, but I've got told that there has to be a way to rearrange specific reservations if there's like a tournament on that day.
So i'm not familiar with MySQL(i), but I know that you can't just have an array for all the dates and add dates to it, right?
In my plan i'd have a "Customer" with Name, adress etc. and with the booked dates. How can I now have any amount of dates which I can delete, change or create with MySQL(i)?
I'm very new in this site. Spend a lot of time for searching an answer for my target, but unsuccessfully. So, there it is (sorry for my english):
I'm quite new in php, but already created nice stuff. But now I'm interested in calendar with time slot reservation. I saw good exemple then I registered for my doctor. There i was able to choose a day from calendar and then select a free time range (e.g. from 12:00 to 12:30).
First idea for this is some calendar in PHP and table in MySQL. In MySQL table few rows with id, name and quantity. id - unique number of row, name - date and time slot, and quantity - (1 = free cell, 0 = unable). In PHP calendar after selecting a free time slot, in DB quantity goes from 1 to 0 and apear unavailable for other users.
But if where are a lots of "doctors"? How to make calendar, DB for thousands of them?
For the beggining maybie someone have some example how to make calendar with time reservation (e.g. 1 hour) in the easiest way? Or suggest something?
I'm still leanring PHP/MySQL but have learned quite a bit thanks to codies on StackOverflow. I'm trying to setup a sort of room reservations system using two tables:
SETUP:
Room price table: Has, prices for a type room a client may want to rent as well as the dates (day of week) they wish to use it. Pricing varies based on day of the week and per room.
I've setup a different table for each room type as each room type carries different pricing for each day of the week. So, There is an Alpha room table, Bravo room, etc. Within Alpha table are headers for the days of the week with pricing pre-entered into the rows.
Client info table: Has the name, address, date of room use, etc data for the specific client.
EXAMPLE:
Alpha-room price table:
Sun = $100; Mon = $200; Tue=$300 and so on.
Bravo-room price table:
Sun = $100; Mon = $200; Tue=$300 and so on.
Client data table:
ClientName; date-of-room-use; address; day_subtotal; grand_total.
QUESTION:
I'm trying to find PHP code that will:
look at the date of room use in the client data table,
look up the associated cost for that date in the specific room pricing table,
record that unit cost in the day subtotal of the client data table
and sum a grand total in the grand total row of the client data
table (assuming the room may be used more than one day by the
customer).
I know there's something to do with join but I'm finding it difficult to grasp the concept and, if someone can demonstrate using this example, I think I will have a better understanding of how to work this sort of transaction.
Thank you ALL in advance for your suggestions or alternatvie approaches.
First, you should separate your database slightly, you should have four tables. rooms, prices, clients and bookings. Setup somewhat like this...
rooms should have the following fields: id, name and description.
prices should have the following fields: id, price, room_id and day.
clients should have the following fields: id and whatever else you want to store on the user, such as first and last names, phone number or whatever.
bookings should have the following fields: id, client_id, room_id, started_at and ended_at. Preferably the started_at and ended_at fields will be an int, filled with PHP's time() method.
You can add any extra fields you want/need to the tables.
With the tables separated out like this, you will be able to properly query the database. So to answer your questions...
look at the date of room in use...
You can now query to see if a room is in use on a specific date by doing the following...
<?php
$selectedDate= mktime(); // Create a UNIX timestamp based on the day the user selected.
$query = "SELECT r.name, r.description
FROM rooms r, bookings b
WHERE b.room_id = r.id
AND b.started_at < $selectedDate
OR b.ended_at > $selectedDate";
$result = $pdo->query($query);
?>
Look up cost for that date
<?php
$selectedDate = mktime() // Create a UNIX timestamp based on the day the user selected
$dayOfWeek = Date('N', $selectedDate); // This will give the numerical day of the week.
$query = "SELECT price
FROM prices
WHERE room_id = $roomId
AND day = $dayOfWeek";
$result = $pdo->query($query);
?>
Record that unit cost in the client table
Doing this is just silly on account of already having the information in another table. Never recreate the same information in a database. If you are, you have built your database incorrectly.
Grand total in the customer table
Again, silly... don't recreate data...
Though, to find that information out, you would first need to do a query on the bookings table, and see the start and end date for which the user will be occupying the room.
Do a calculation on how long the client will be in the room for, (ended_at - started_at) / 86400, (86400 is the number of seconds in a day) that will give the number of days the client is in the room for.
Now that you know which days, and how long the client will be in the room, you can dynamically create a sql call to select the days of the week you need, remember Date('N', $timeStamp) will give you the numerical day of the week for a given timestamp.
Then it is just a matter of doing simple addition.
I have given you the basics here, You can modify the query from answer one to show you if a room is available to be booked within the time frame the user asked for.
I hope that covers everything you asked about...
In teaching myself php and mySQL a year or two ago, I created a movie database for the theater I work at, to help automate the more mundane web updates that need to be done weekly. So far this only pertains to film information (title, ratings, synopsis, start date) - but does not include showtimes, but lately I've thought it might be fun to see if it's possible to build on this aspect of the site.
My initial idea was to build a table that displayed showtimes via date groups (ie 5/15 - 5/20), but it was suggested that submitting times for individual days would probably be more useful from a user perspective (ie the showtimes for 5/15 are...), especially since there are occasionally changes and cancellations throughout the week due to special events.
Problem I'm having even starting this - is how to submit more than one date at once. Would it be possible, in the form, to have a 'start date' and 'end date' and have the single form submit all the times input on those two dates and all the dates inbetween?
From a back-end perspective submitting the same 4 or 5 showtimes every day, 7 days a week for 10 to 14 films a week is more work for US than just putting the times in manually in dreamweaver - so I'm just trying to figure out how to make the process easier for us behind the scenes. If we could batch insert a set of showtimes, then we could go back through and edit the individual days that have special/cancelled times (which would probably mean building in a 'draft, live, hidden' system - but I've got at least a basic knowledge of how to go about that.
I've got a very basic table set up for showtimes with (user end example of what I'm aiming for here):
MOVIE_ID (links with the movie info database to pull in film info - title, runtime, etc)
sched_date (uses datetime to set a specific showtime on a specific date)
I guess I might have to abandon using datetime if there's any way to do this?
Any help would be hot! Much thanks!
You can have 2 date fields with names from_date and end_date in your PHP form. In your PHP form submit code you then need to use the DateTime class and start from from_date and use the DateTime::add method to loop till end_date is reached. Please note you need to first convert the 2 dates i.e. from_date and end_date to datetime using either new DateTime('YYYY-MM-DD') or using DateTime::createFromFormat.
In the loop simply send insert commands to MySQL to insert the rows to your DB.
I'm building a home rental system. The system stores profiles of homes and users can book homes for rent for periods as between one day to a year. I've got the booking part all set up except I am faced with a requirement from teh client to be able to set certain dates and date ranges as un bookable for homes.
A home can be available for a whole year for rent, or can be available for 6 months, or be unavailable on discreet days eg: Holidays and weekends for summer homes etc.
I'm perplexed as how would I be able to set up a database table to store this information considering that the information must be retrievable by a sql query. I mean consider the following situation, a home can be rented through out the year except on wednesdays, the 4th of July, 10 November to 25th December and 31st December.
How do I store this in a database and be able to run a query to check for a homes availability between set dates. I'm wokring in php MySql
There are two different concepts that you're describing: the "on Wednesdays" is not as much of a date range as it is a recurrence pattern. The same goes for "weekends".
You're probably looking at two different tables in addition to your property table that define these unavailable dates: one that represents specific date ranges and one that represents recurrence patterns.
Property
|
-------------- ---------------
| |
PropertyUnavailableRecurrence PropertyUnavailableRange
(Bear in mind that you might want to figure out shorter names)
PropertyUnavailableRecurrence would need to store the information necessary for turning "Wednesdays" and "weekends" into viable decision logic. I can't model this for you, since all of you've presented in this pattern are specific days of the week, but I'd imagine that you'd need to be able to account for "First of the month" or "Second Wednesday of the month", but I don't know. In any case, this is where you'd need to store that information.
PropertyUnavailableRange would just contain simple From and To dates that define the range. This part is pretty simple.
Of course, an alternative would be to take the recurrence patterns specified in the application and turn them into discreet PropertyUnavailableRange records, but you'd still need to set up a table to store these recurrences and associate the discreet records with a recurrence so that you could manage them.
One approach is to have a table, PropertyUnavailable, with the following structure:
create table PropertyUnavailable
(
property_id number not null,
when date not null
);
This table would have a row for each day that the property is not available because of a black out period (e.g., every Wednesday, Holiday, etc). I am ignoring how you will store the meta information of the pattern -- all this table wants are rows for each day where the property is not available because of a blackout period.
I assume you will also have a table for reservation days, PropertyReserved, with the same structure as above plus a foreign key to reservation_id (or something similar).
Now to see what day's are unavailable/reserved for a given date range, the sql would be something like this:
SELECT a.when, 'blackout'
FROM PropertyUnavailable a
WHERE a.when between <from_date> to <to_date>
UNION ALL (
SELECT b.when, 'reserved'
FROM PropertyReserved b
WHERE b.when between <from_date> to <to_date>
);
If nothing is returned with the query, then the property is available between the date range specified (from_date, to_date).
Did you consider simply booking those "unbookable" dates in the name of the system?
It appears that you are not clear about what is required to be stored in teh database; and what is required in code segments. Set the "unbookable" dates aside for a moment, assume you only have actual booked dates. Catcall has a point. What does your current code look like, when you search for available dates ?
SQL is quite capable of handling dates and performing date arithmetic. My NonSQL is not, you will have to store more in the databse than in real SQL. But you do not need to store rows per date. The Reservation table needs FromDate and ToDate only.
