Getting multiple data from database (or so) - php

Question

I'm trying to get multiple bookings from my database for a hotel project
when i tried to get the bookings from my database i only recieved one booking it should display/select multiple bookings.
This is my php code:
(formulier.php)
<?php
$dt1 = $_POST['date1'];
$dt2 = $_POST['date2'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM dt_tb WHERE dt BETWEEN '$dt1' AND '$dt2'";
$result = mysqli_query($connect,$query);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result)) {
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { include_once 'source.php';
}
echo "<br>formulier.php";
echo "<br>check-in: $dt1 <br>check-out: $dt2";
}
else {
die;
}
?>
And this is my other php code: (source.php)
<?php
$dt1 = $_POST['date1'];
$dt2 = $_POST['date2'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM dt_tb WHERE dt BETWEEN '$dt1' AND '$dt2'";
$result = mysqli_query($connect,$query);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result)) {
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
}
echo "source.php";
echo "<br>check-in: $dt1 <br>check-out: $dt2";
}
else {
die;
}
?>
this is my database: (dt_tb)

This is what i receive: (Website)

I know my code is messed up badly and tried to solve it for quite some time.

Answer 1

I don't know why you need two files. You can join them to single loop.
<?php
$dt1 = !empty($_POST['date1']) ? $_POST['date1'] : null;
$dt2 = !empty($_POST['date2']) ? $_POST['date2'] : null;
if (!$dt1 || !$dt2) {
throw new Exception("No dates passed!");
}
$query = "SELECT * FROM dt_tb WHERE dt BETWEEN '$dt1' AND '$dt2'";
$result = mysqli_query($connect, $query);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result)) {
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "check-in: {$row['dt']}<br/>";
echo "check-out: {$row['dt2']}<br/>";
echo "<br/>";
}
} else {
echo "No bookings found between {$dt1} and {$dt2}";
die();
}
?>
What was wrong:
require_once is called only for first iteration, no further calls was made. It's used mostly when including classes or some configs, that must be included only once in whole logic.
You try to echo your data outside loop inside source.php
You echo passed parameters to server, but not actual database record entries. Changed $dt1 to $row['dt'] and $dt2 to $row['dt2']

Answer 2

You repeated the query in both files! Why?
As you typed, you don't need to include 2 lines! , you can add them directly:
$dt1 = $_POST['date1'];
$dt2 = $_POST['date2'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM dt_tb WHERE dt BETWEEN '$dt1' AND '$dt2'";
$result = mysqli_query($connect,$query);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result)) {
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "source.php";
echo "<br>check-in: $dt1 <br>check-out: $dt2";
}
echo "<br>formulier.php";
echo "<br>check-in: $dt1 <br>check-out: $dt2";
}
else {
die;
}
