Afternoon,
I am a novice web app developer (meaning I am just learning this stuff). I have a client who is requesting the following application:
He is a photographer who wants his website users to be able to punch in a date using a form, NOT a visual calendar, have that form search a calendar database to see if he is available for that day. If he is available, he wants the site to give the user another form where they can fill out their information, then upon submission email it off to him. He does NOT want the user to be able to book dates in any way, only see if he is available. If he is NOT available, he wants the site to return a "sorry" message.
I was looking at codecharge to buy it, it looks like it can create a solution to the above problem. Is this the right piece of software to get this done? Is this possible above? Has someone already created it, would I be recreating the wheel?
Thanks so much for the time you took to read this, any suggestions would be wicked helpful.

No reason you can not do this with CodeCharge. If you need any assistance
let me know.

Thanks much for your reply. If I may ask, how would you design the database to run this application? It is where I am really stuck, I need to create the database where the application can read that a certain date is taken so it can return the yes or no answer. Any help in that direction would be great if you could. Thanks for the time you have taken to read this and the time you are taking to consider helping me.

More specifically, how would i store the information in the database so when the user puts a date in it will either or approve or deny it?

from a user's perspective it will be totally frustrating to keep punching in dates only to have the system keep saying "nope, try again"!!! regardless of what he thinks he wants, I'd recommend a calendar where available dates are clearly indicated.

Agree and ... it is also possible. IOW, a calendar that will have a
"Reserve" link only if there is nothing on that day ...
And yes, CodeCharge can do it. You can contact me via email if you want to

Home page with Form accepting date on requesttable so you have update
procedure.
Sorrypage, to be redirected to when date not available.
Requestpage for entering details of request when date is available.
Login Form for the owner
Owner page basic grid/form on same table to enter booked dates.
The Home page could do a CCLookup() to check the table looking up the date,
no result is free result is booked.
Less then 8 hours: 1 hour to build/design the table and generate the forms.
20 minutes testing this basic set.
1 hour to read the forum on how to use dates and do the CCLookup()
rest is spend on design (colors and so on), and getting the dates to work
(lol)
