Logic for booking system, day rates, etc

4 New Member
Hi all,

I have a system and I'm a little stuck. It's a booking system.

It has rooms, etc and every room have a daily price.

Then it has special daily rates when assigned.

How do I calculate the total cost of a room if a daily rate exists?

Eg.

Room 1 = £10 per night

Customer booking between 20/09/2009 - 25/09/2009
Rate Set @ 4.99 per night between 21/09/2009 - 23/09/2009
Total should be: £34.97

Rates Database = start=unix_time , finished=unix_t ime, price=4.99
Booking Database = customer, checkin=unix_ti me, checkout=unix_t ime, room_id

What I did was first get the total amount of days they're staying.
Then got the total amount of days the special rate is on for.

Then I looped through the rate days to check if any of dates matched that of when they we're staying. If true, added prices to a RatePrice variable and increased a TotalRateDays.

Then I just calculated the total days of stay's price
Worked out how much less it is with (TotalRateDays * RoomRate)
Then added on the RatePrice

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I'm having. I've been using Dreamweaver to create a hotel booking system for a friend of mine, using MySQL (version 4.0.21) and PHP 5. The bit I'm struggling with is checking the Room Availability based on dates that are typed into a textfield and then returning a list of the available rooms on the next page. The three tables involved in this function are: CREATE TABLE `room` (

Hi everyone! I'm writing a booking system website, which needs a seat selection algorithm, my question is, if a user clicks on a seat (temporarily booking that one), how will the other users navigating on the same row of seats know that the previous user has already booked a specific seat? Perhaps a messaging system?
