PHP booking times

[petenaylor]

Hi all

 

I am trying to edit a piece of code to change possible times for a booking system.

 

This is the code I have:

 

$count=0;

for($b=$startTime;$b<$endTime;$b++){

if($count==$tempVar2){ $availability .= "</td><td align='left' valign='top'>"; }

if(in_array($b,$reservedArray)){

$availability .= $b.":00 ".($b<12?"am":"pm")." - ".($b+1).":00 ".($b+1<12?"am":"pm")." - Booked.<br>";

} else {

$availability .=$b.":00 ".($b<12?"am":"pm")." - ".($b+1).":15 ".($b+1<13?"am":"pm")."- <input type=\"checkbox\" value=\"".$b."\" name=\"time[]\" ><br>";

}

$count++;

}

 

It gives me the following times:

 

09:00 am - 10:15 am

10:00 am - 11:15 am

11:00 am - 12:15 am

12:00 pm - 13:15 pm

13:00 pm - 14:15 pm

14:00 pm - 15:15 pm

15:00 pm - 16:15 pm

16:00 pm - 17:15 pm

 

How can I change it so I can have the following times available:

 

10:00 am - 10:30 am

10:45 am - 11:15 am

11:30 am - 12:00 pm

12:15 pm - 12:30 pm

etc...

 

Many thanks for you help

Pete.

I would steer clear of your current code, looks like quite a convoluted solution.

 

It isn't a complex problem, re-write that block of code with time stored as unix timecodes and strtotime. Much easier to use unix timecodes when dealing with times, then you can have something along the lines of

echo date("g:i a", $unixTimeCode);

which will echo hours:minutes AM/PM
