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 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 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 guess my question might have a simple solution, but I am stuck.
I have a MYSQL-Table and a form. The user input fills in the form. The user has to provide a start time for the event. e.g. 8:00 o'clock and a duration of the event. The end time is calculated based on the duration. So if a event starts at 8, has a duration of 2 hours, there will be 10:00 be written in the end-Time column.
The problem is now, how do I prevent, that users can fill in events at 9:00 since the room is blocked from 8 - 10?
I appreciate your help!
Cheers!
after user submits form, you can take submitted time and check whether room is occupied in that time with this query:
SELECT COUNT(1)
FROM event as e
WHERE e.room = <room_number>
AND (<start_time_of_new_event> BETWEEN e.start_time AND e.end_time
OR <end_time_of_new_event> BETWEEN e.start_time AND e.end_time)
start_time_of_new_event would be submitted start time value
end_time_of_new_event would be submitted start time + duration
room_number -> i just assumed you have more rooms, where events can take place
if this query returns 1 or more, room is occupied in submitted time.
If you would like to disable possibility to submit time in which room is occupied, you could select occupied time slots before displaying the form. And in script decide which times can be booked
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 am developing website for my friend's very small resort, please see www.shivgangaresorts.com/dev
This resort has 8 rooms in total and all rooms are of the same type, so every room is equally priced.
I just need code or logic to check availability of given no. of rooms on given check-in and check-out dates.
When somebody makes a reservation, details that go in reservation table are:
booking_id
customer name
email
check-in date
check-out date
no. of rooms
Please help. This is very critical as I will be integrating PayPal also, so there should be no confusions...
If all rooms are available for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week then your reservation should have a start_time (timestamp) and end_time (timestamp) rather than just the date.
A standard reservation likely has a specific start time (~6pm) and ending (~11am) but you may want to be specific in order to offer early arrivals or late checkouts.
This is the logic I'd user:
User picks check-in date and check-out date.
Your program grabs 6pm of check in date and 11am of checkout date and selects the rooms are not booked within those times based on the current reservations. (return rooms)
This sounds like a fairly simple approach but you may need to account for maid times, splitting up the reservation between rooms, rooms on hold, etc.
I guess if you're checking the availability on every page refresh, I'd compute how many free rooms by grabbing how many bookings are in effect at the current time:
select sum(number_of_rooms) from reservations where
check_in_date <= now() and
check_out_date >= now()
This will give you your current rooms that are occupied. Then simply subtract this value from a hard-coded 'room total' value.
It might help to normalize the database by having a customer and individual room table with a linking table to the booking table. However I am unaware of your contraints.
You need a procedure to determine how many rooms are available. The simplest answer for a small number of rooms would be to loop through each room and check availability during the period. That is, if a booking exists for a given room during the period, it's not available.
If you want to consider splitting a booking between rooms, it becomes more difficult, but you should then check availability for each room for each day during the period, then aggregating the results.
