How To: Insert into column where the value is on another table

Summarize the Problem:

I want to write a booking code. I had a little problem, that I wanted to insert a value into the booked table that is in another table called house_info.

The detail of booked & house_info database is below:

Booked Table

 ID_Booking | House_Name | House_ID | House_No | House_Qty | House_Price |
          1 | Rose House |        1 |     RH01 |         1 |             |
          2 | Rose House |        1 |     RH02 |         1 |             |

House Info Table

 House_ID | HouseState_Name | House_Qty | House_Price |
        1 |     Garden City |         8 |        40000|
        2 | Electronic City |        10 |      1000000|

I want to insert the House_Price value on the house_info table into the House_Price column on booked table every time users input on the Booking Form.

Background you've already tried:

I already tried this using a trigger on booked table like below:

Trigger on Booked Table (Before Insert)

IF NEW.House_ID= '1' THEN SET
NEW.House_Price = 40000;
ELSEIF NEW.House_ID= '2' THEN SET
NEW.House_Price = 1000000;

But I realize this is not dynamic because when the company want to change the price of each HouseState_Name he needs to change it from the trigger. So I think what I needed is a query from PHP that can calls the value of each HouseState_Name and hold it on an array and place it or insert it when the Book Query passed (I hope my logic is true, I'm sorry if it's false).

I already tried to search too for the query's to use. But I didn't know how am I going to use the query.

Some Codes:

Booking.php

require 'Connection.php';

//Check Connection
if ($conn->connect_error){
    die("Connection Failed: ". $conn->connect_error);
}

//Check for Submit
if (filter_has_var(INPUT_POST, 'Submit')) {
    //Get Form Data
    $CustomerEmail= htmlspecialchars($_POST["Email"], ENT_QUOTES);
    $House_Name= htmlspecialchars($_POST["HouseName"], ENT_QUOTES);
    $House_ID = htmlspecialchars($_POST["HouseID "], ENT_QUOTES);
    $House_No = htmlspecialchars($_POST["HouseNo "], ENT_QUOTES);

    //Validate the data fields
    if (!empty($CustomerEmail) && !empty($House_Name)) {
        //Passed
        if (filter_var($CustomerEmail, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === false) {
            //Failed
            $msg = 'Please use a valid email';
            header("location: ../GardenCity.php?error=PleaseUseValidEmail");
        } else {
            //Passed
            echo "Creating a Booking.<br>";
            //Inserting the Booking Data into Database
            $sql = "INSERT INTO `booked`(`ID_Booking`, `CustomerEmail`, `House_Name`, `House_ID`, `House_No`) 
            VALUES (NULL, '$CustomerEmail', '$House_Name', '$House_ID ', '$House_No', '', '')";
            if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
                header("location: ../GardenCity.php");
            } else {
                echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br><br>" . $conn->error;
            }
        }

    } else {
        header("location: ../GardenCity.php?error=EmptyFields");
    }

}

$conn -> close();

Expected Results:

Before Update the price

Database Looks

ID_Booking | House_Name | House_ID | House_No | House_Qty | House_Price | 1 | Rose House | 1 | RH01 | 1 | | 2 | Rose House | 1 | RH02 | 1 | | 3 | Rose House | 1 | RH03 | 1 | 40000|

House_ID | HouseState_Name | House_Qty | House_Price | 1 | Garden City | 7 | 40000| 2 | Electronic City | 10 | 1000000|

After Update the price

Database Looks

ID_Booking | House_Name | House_ID | House_No | House_Qty | House_Price | 1 | Rose House | 1 | RH01 | 1 | | 2 | Rose House | 1 | RH02 | 1 | | 3 | Rose House | 1 | RH03 | 1 | 40000| 4 | Rose House | 1 | RH04 | 1 | 200000|

House_ID | HouseState_Name | House_Qty | House_Price | 1 | Garden City | 6 | 200000| 2 | Electronic City | 10 | 1000000|

I hope this is well explained. Please let me know if there's any confusing statements or questions. I will say many thanks to you all if this is answered because I'm so stuck at this and my brain won't work.

I would expect to see a schema more or less like this:

houses(house_id*,name)

house_prices(house_id*,price_start_date*,price)

bookings(booking_id*,customer_id,total)

booking_detail(booking_id*,house_id*,start_date,end_date)

* = (component of) PRIMARY KEY

After some reflection, it should be apparent that your present concerns evaporate with this design.

You can construct such an UPDATE statement with INNER JOINs one of which's in the subquery as a self-JOIN for booked table, put after your existing INSERT statement :

update house_info h join (
  select b1.House_Price, b2.House_ID
  from booked b1
  join ( select House_ID,max(ID_Booking) as ID_Booking 
                from booked
               group by House_ID
                ) b2
     on b1.House_ID = b2.House_ID and b1.ID_Booking = b2.ID_Booking   
) bb on bb.House_ID = h.House_ID
set h.House_Price = bb.House_Price;

but I should admit that your tables' design is not good, because of repeating columns they hold the same information in each.

Insert Into booked_table (ID_Booking, House_Name, House_Id, House_No, House_Qty, House_Price)
Select 1, House_Name, House_ID, 'RHXX', House_Qty, (SELECT House_Price FROM house_info WHERE House_ID = MM1.House_ID) From booked_table MM1
Where
NOT EXISTS(
  SELECT * 
  FROM booked_table MM2
  WHERE MM2.ID_Booking > MM1.ID_Booking
);

Fiddle: https://www.db-fiddle.com/f/7Bt3ZTQqbjs1jKzJe34qSF/0

I dont included the increment of the ID_Booking and House_No. If you want to increase the House_Price, just do that with another query.

I think this could work, basically using a subquery just to fetch the price, that should achieve the same result as your insert trigger, but without using fixed prices.

INSERT INTO `booked` (
   `ID_Booking`, 
   `CustomerEmail`,
   `House_Name`, 
   `House_ID`,
   `House_No`, 
   `House_Qty`, 
   `House_Price`
) VALUES (
    NULL, 
   '$CustomerEmail', 
   '$House_Name', 
   '$House_ID',
   '$House_No', 
   '1', 
   (SELECT House_Price FROM house_info WHERE House_ID = '$House_ID')
)

Edit: I set House_Qty at 1, change it according to your needs :)

Maybe you can use the same subquery in your trigger directly instead (haven't tested it) :

SET NEW.House_Price = 
   (SELECT House_Price FROM house_info WHERE House_ID = NEW.House_id);

Assuming your House_ID are unique :)
