I am building a doctor appointment booking system for a single doctor using MySql.
A patient will have to select a date and choose a time-slot .Each hour should be divided into 6 slots Each slot should have only 10 minutes to it.
Also a particular date and its slots can be locked if the doctor is busy on that particular day.
Please help me design a schema for the table in which a customer can book a slot .

I am createing a booking system and have a time table
Then there is a bookings table with time_id and booked date,
So I want when users search a any date, I will display all the times from times table and disable the already booked time gotten from booking table.
I have this problem on how can I populate the slots in database if I need to look in another table and if there is a recurring so I need to repeat that slot without even adding it, just showing the slot again in another date.
For example, I have this calendar.
Calendar
As you can see in February 14 there's 1 Time Slots. And that slot has a recurrence Daily separate in another table. How can I show that time slot in another date also like February 15,16,17..29.
mysql_query("SELECT client_contact_slots.*, client_contacts.*, client_recurring_slots.*
FROM client_contact_slots
JOIN client_contacts ON client_contacts.client_contactid = client_contact_slots.client_contactid
LEFT JOIN client_recurring_slots ON client_recurring_slots.clientcontactslotsid = client_contact_slots.slotid
WHERE client_contact_slots.client_contactid in ($ci) and client_contact_slots.date in ($dstring)
ORDER BY client_contact_slots.slotstart ASC");
The recurrence is in table client_recurring_slots and with column recurring that will only have value Daily, Weekly and Monthly, Yearly.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you.
I have a website on PHP which works as "appointment management System". I have 5 Doctors in my clinic. I have added them in list (web). Now when a patient comes in clinic i fill a form which contains (Name, Add, Phone number, Appointment with Dr.(Selecting from a list), appointment date and time. Now my Question is how can i restrict this form if we have already an appointment is booked on same date and same time like 1-Oct-2015 and start time 2pm to 3pm with a patient. Form can not duplicate/override previous appointment and gives me notification that in this timing already an appointment is fixed with doctor 1. ??? plz help
Since you haven't provided anything code wise to show whatever you have or have tried at the moment, my answer will be very straightforward: check your database for a duplicate record with that same date and time range before saving.
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 have a web form to set the days of week that a room in a hotel will be available to book it.
My doubt: what it the best way to to store that in my database?
I thought about creating 7 boolean columns one for each day of the week.
EDIT: my form is the backend and is for the owners of the hotels. It sounds maybe strange, but they want to set which days of the week a room is available.
I'd rather store bookings in a table, one row per booking, with the columns: visitor_id, room number, start and end date. Then perform a query to see (for each room or altogether) which dates are avaiable.
I would look into a structure like below. It may seem complicated but it's normalised and would scale up easily.
Rooms
--------------------------
id
number
type (Suite, Standard, Twin)
floor
Room_Bookings
--------------------------
room_id
reservation_id
type (customer, hotel)
date
Reservations
--------------------------
id
customer_id
total_price
paid (yes/no)
created_by (staff member?)
number_of_nights
Room_Available_Days_Of_Week
--------------------------
room_id
day_id (0 = sunday, 1 = monday etc etc)
Rooms - a row for each room in the hotel, type could be Suite, Standard, Twin etc. (could have a Room_Types table for this and store an ID)
Room_Bookings - a row for each date that a room is booked, this links to the reservation and room tables. The type could be Customer or Hotel. Customer for when the room is booked for a stay. Hotel could be used to block the room on any specific dates. For example if the room is having maintenance work.
Reservations - a row for each reservation, by reservation I mean a stay at the hotel which could be a various number of nights.
Room_Available_Days_Of_Week - this table would address you requirement of designating rooms availability based on the weekday. A row for each room and weekday that it's available.
For example, a 3 night stay would consist of a row in Reservations and 3 rows in Room_Bookings.
For your availability procedure, a room would be available if it's not booked in Room_Bookings and there is a row in the Room_Available_Days_Of_Week table that matches the required weekday.
Have a separate table for the rooms (ie, one row per room), then another separate table with a row per room / date. Insert into the 2nd table when a room is booked. To find if a room is used select from the first table with a left join to the second table specifying the date. If the columns from the 2nd table are null then the room is free (ie, nothing has been booked for that room / date yet).
