I am trying to show a graphical bar to show the available seats against total seats for a particular date in a single bar using MySql and PHP in a wordpress site.
My form mark up:
<strong>Check your desired date if it is available already in the system.</strong><br/><br/>
<form action="<?php echo get_permalink();?>" method="post" class="van_sharing_reference">
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.search_input_text_van').datepicker({
dateFormat : 'yy-mm-dd'
});
});
</script>
<input type="text" placeholder="Select the date" required name="search_text" class="search_input_text_van">
<span class="arrow">
<input type="submit" value="CHECK" name="search" class="search_button">
</span>
</form>
and the action:
<?PHP
if (isset($_POST['search'])){
$serch_text = $_POST["search_text"];
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","db_name","db_username","db_password");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
die ("Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
$booking_id_serch_text = $serch_text;
$searchroute = "select * from van_sharing where date = '$booking_id_serch_text'";
$result = $con->query($searchroute);
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
if ($row == 0) { echo '<div style="color: red;">No one planned yet on the date <b>' . $serch_text . '</b>. to go</div>' ;
} else {
// getting number of rows for a specific date
$wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare('select * from van_sharing where date = %s', $booking_id_serch_text));
$total_seats = 10;
$people_travel_on_the_date = $wpdb->num_rows;
$available_seats = $total_seats - $people_travel_on_the_date;
echo 'Total Seats ' . $total_seats . '<br/>';
echo 'Number of people who are planning to share on the date '.$booking_id_serch_text .' : '.$wpdb->num_rows;
echo '</br>Available seats : '.$available_seats;
mysqli_close($con);
}
}
?>
Now I am getting all the details I want to show to the visitors.
- Total seats from $total_seats
- Number of people who are willing to share on the date from $people_travel_on_the_date
- And the balance / available seats from $available_seats
But rather than showing this in just some lines I want to show these in a graphical bar. Like:
- If there is no any one booked / not willing to share on the date.
That means $people_travel_on_the_date == 0
- If there are two or three people booked / willing to share on the
date. That means $people_travel_on_the_date == 2 or 3
- If there are 5 people booked / willing to share on the date. That
means $people_travel_on_the_date == 5
- If there are 10 people booked / willing to share on the date. That
means $people_travel_on_the_date == 10
I googled and refered php.net but all the PHP drwaing was about to create charts, the whole chart like pie, or bar chart but not about to show these results in a graphical bar.
How can I create a bar as I explained above using php? It's a wordpress site. So better do it by custom PHP but not by using libraries. Also I am not willing to use plugins.
