Hi everybody....
I am trying to query a database to find the following
If a customer searches for a hotel in a city between dates A and B, find and return the hotels in which rooms are free between the two dates.
There will be more than one room in each room type(i.e. 5 Rooms in type A, 10 rooms in Type B etc) and we have to query the db to find only those hotels in which there is atleast one room free in atleast one type.
This is my table structure....
**Structure for table 'reservations'**
reservation_id
hotel_id
room_id
customer_id
payment_id
no_of_rooms
check_in_date
check_out_date
reservation_date
**Structure for table 'hotels'**
hotel_id
hotel_name
hotel_description
hotel_address
hotel_location
hotel_country
hotel_city
hotel_type
hotel_stars
hotel_image
hotel_deleted
**Structure for table 'rooms'**
room_id
hotel_id
room_name
max_persons
total_rooms
room_price
room_image
agent_commision
room_facilities
service_tax
vat
city_tax
room_description
room_deleted
And this is my query
$city_search = '15';
$check_in_date = '29-03-2010';
$check_out_date = '31-03-2010';
$dateFormat_check_in = "DATE_FORMAT('$reservations.check_in_date','%d-%m-%Y')";
$dateFormat_check_out = "DATE_FORMAT('$reservations.check_out_date','%d-%m-%Y')";
$dateCheck = "$dateFormat_check_in >= '$check_in_date' AND $dateFormat_check_out <= '$check_out_date'";
$query = "SELECT $rooms.room_id,
$rooms.room_name,
$rooms.max_persons,
$rooms.room_price,
$hotels.hotel_id,
$hotels.hotel_name,
$hotels.hotel_stars,
$hotels.hotel_type
FROM $hotels,$rooms,$reservations
WHERE $hotels.hotel_city = '$city_search'
AND $hotels.hotel_id = $rooms.hotel_id
AND $hotels.hotel_deleted = '0'
AND $rooms.room_deleted = '0'
AND $rooms.total_rooms - (SELECT SUM($reservations.no_of_rooms) as tot
FROM $reservations
WHERE $dateCheck
GROUP BY $reservations.room_id) > '0'";
The number of rooms already reserved in each room type in each hotel will be stored in the reservations table...
The thing is the query doesn't return any result at all...even though it should if i calculate it myself manually...
I tried running the sub-query alone and i don't get any result... And i have lost quite some amount of hair trying to de-bug this query from yesterday... What's wrong with this...? Or is there a better way to do what i mentioned above...?
Thanks for your time...
Edit : Code edited to remove an bud... thanks to
