Hi everybody,

I am trying to calculate the prices depending on the seasons as there are two seasons, one low and the other high. My problem is that i can't compare the seasons to get the total price and it is not displaying like i want.

check this following script, especially at the bottom which are in bold red font.

<?php
$a_day=$_POST['arrival_date'];
$a_month=$_POST['arrival_month'];
$a_year=$_POST['arrival_year'];
$result1="Low season";
$result2="High season";
$result3="Low season";
$result4="High season";
$price_low=40;
$price_high=50;
$arrivaldate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $a_month, $a_day, $a_year);

//Low season
$beginL = mktime(0, 0, 0, 05, 01, 2006);
$endL = mktime(0, 0, 0, 10, 14, 2006);
//high season
$beginH = mktime(0, 0, 0, 10, 15, 2006);
$endH = mktime(0, 0, 0, 04, 15, 2007);

if (($arrivaldate >= $beginL) and ($arrivaldate <= $endL)) {
echo "The arrival date is in ".$result1;
}
elseif (($arrivaldate >= $beginH) and ($arrivaldate <= $endH)) {
echo "The arrival date is in ".$result2;
}
else
{
echo "other season";
}
echo "<BR>";
?>
<?php
$d_day=$_POST['departure_date'];
$d_month=$_POST['departure_month'];
$d_year=$_POST['departure_year'];
$compare="";
$depart_date = mktime(0, 0, 0, $d_month, $d_day, $d_year);

//Low season
$beginL = mktime(0, 0, 0, 05, 01, 2006);
$endL = mktime(0, 0, 0, 10, 14, 2006);
//high season
$beginH = mktime(0, 0, 0, 10, 15, 2006);
$endH = mktime(0, 0, 0, 04, 15, 2007);

if (($depart_date >= $beginL) and ($depart_date <= $endL)) {
echo "The departure date is found in ".$result3;
}
elseif (($depart_date >= $beginH) and ($depart_date <= $endH)) {
echo "The departure date is found in ".$result4;;
}
else
{
echo "other season";
}
echo "<BR>";

if ($depart_date<$arrivaldate)
{
echo "Date of departure cannot be less than date of arrival";
echo "<BR>";
}

else
{
$arrivaldate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $a_month, $a_day, $a_year);

$depart_date = mktime(0, 0, 0, $d_month, $d_day, $d_year);


$year_diff = date('y', $depart_date) - date('y',$arrivaldate);
$month_diff = date('m', $depart_date) - date('m',$arrivaldate) + ($year_diff * 12) ;
$day_diff = date('z', $depart_date) - date('z',$arrivaldate) + (((int) date('L',$arrivaldate)) ? ($year_diff * 366) : ($year_diff * 365) );

echo $day_diff. " days";
echo "<BR>";
}
if (($compare=$result1) && ($compare=$result3))
{
$total=$day_diff*$price_low;
echo $total;
}
elseif (($compare=$result2) && ($compare=$result4))
{
$total=$day_diff*$price_high;
echo $total;
}
else
{
echo "Price is low + high";
}
?>

Hope that I'll get a reply soon!!!

Its seems that there's no one that can help me!!

Give it some time, not everyone here is a PHP expert, I just found this topic now while doing my daily browsing so I'll try to correct your problem.

OK, so I only looked at your bold red bit first, and can see you're not doing comparisons but actually assignments.

Comparison operator for equal to (==) Asignment operator (=) this can definitely fail your script. Fix that and then let me know how it goes, also can you post your code inside the BBCode's PHP tag so it makes it easier to read.

If that's not what you're wanting then try to explain your code in psuedo talk, I could not see where you assigned compare so maybe you wanted to do the assignment there, but using the same variable means you'll overwrite it when the next boolean statement is evaluated, so a lot of confusion there.

Cheers,
