What are some potential approaches to digitalizing the usage of space in a club using PHP and MySQL?

Issue: Digitalizing the usage of space in a club can involve creating a system to track reservations, manage occupancy levels, and optimize space utilization. One approach could be to develop a web application using PHP and MySQL to allow club members to book spaces online, view availability in real-time, and receive notifications for their reservations.

<?php
// Connect to MySQL database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "club_spaces";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

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

// Retrieve available spaces from database
$sql = "SELECT * FROM spaces WHERE status = 'available'";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    // Display available spaces
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "Space ID: " . $row["space_id"]. " - Name: " . $row["space_name"]. "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "No spaces available.";
}

$conn->close();
?>
