Are there alternative programming languages or technologies that could be more suitable for this office availability project than PHP?

The issue with using PHP for the office availability project may be due to its limitations in handling real-time updates and scalability. A more suitable alternative could be using Node.js with Socket.io for real-time updates and MongoDB for scalability. 

<?php
// PHP code snippet
// This code may not be suitable for real-time updates and scalability

// Code to check office availability
function checkOfficeAvailability($officeId) {
    // Database query to check availability
    $result = queryDatabase("SELECT * FROM offices WHERE id = $officeId");

    if ($result['availability'] == 'available') {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

// Function to update office availability
function updateOfficeAvailability($officeId, $availability) {
    // Database query to update availability
    $result = queryDatabase("UPDATE offices SET availability = '$availability' WHERE id = $officeId");

    if ($result) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}
?>
