uhhhmmm...if BOOKINGS were a table that stored only room id's and the date
when it was NOT available, then that query would work FINE...if you changed
it to SELECT COUNT(*) and then wanted the value 0 to be returned to show a
room as available.
as it is, you've given NOTHING helpful in the way of details that helps us
help you.
btw, if you are wanting a query to only show what rooms were available for
selection, this would suffice:
SELECT r.Room ,
r.Description
FROM rooms r ,
(
SELECT Room
COUNT(*) Availability
FROM bookings
WHERE Reserved >= ' . $startDate . '
AND Reserved <= ' . $endDate . '
GROUP BY Room
) b
WHERE b.Room = r.Room
AND b.Availability = 0
not a big or complex query at all.
