Re: events that i can trigger on intervals.
Sure, that is easy. Just add a column to your room assignment table called something like RELEASE_TIME, and put into that column the time you want the room to be released. Then, whenever you want to release rooms, execute something like DELETE FROM ROOM_ASSIGN WHERE RELEASE_TIME NOW() or if you mark a status flag, do an update instead of a delete. Since PHP is primarily intended for web applications, it might be better to execute this SQL statement via a Perl script that is triggered automatically as a CRON job, assuming you are using a real operating system like Unix or Linux. If you are using Windows, then you will have a tougher time since the operating system is severely lacking in basic services like true batch jobs, powerful scripting languages, etc. I have been a Windows developer ever since 3.0 came out, and I recently got introduced to the wonderful world of Linux. The differences are staggering. Hope this helps. -Ken At 11:27 PM 6/5/01 +0500, Hasan Niyaz wrote: Hi, I have a room inventory.

If you have another page that clients use to see what rooms are currently available, then at the top of THAT cgi file, first search out and release appropriate rooms, and then select for avail rooms to display. It won't release them AT the time the expiry occurs, but if you check for expiry (and release) before each time you select and display available rooms, you'll get the same effect. --Cindy - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Is there any way I can do this with MySQL or PHP.
function expire($limit='12 hour') {
$qry=UPDATE room_tbl set resvered='no'
WHERE reserved='yes' AND
res_end DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL $limit);
mysql_query($qry);
}
Call this function at some useful interval, maybe like just before
you check for available rooms.

Re: events that i can trigger on intervals.
Hi! Could this work, I wonder? Have a timestamp field that gets set whenever a person books a room. Then when people look at a room, if the current date is more than a certain amount of time after the timestamp showing, it is EXPIRED. This would be easy to code in PHP.
