     $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO doc_a(id_book, id_timeslot) 
     VALUES  ('','" . $id_timeslot . "')" ); 

     echo 'Booking has been added';

elseif($minutes_booking == 1) :


      $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO doc_a(id_book, id_timeslot) 
      VALUES  ('', '" . $id_timeslot . "')" ); 
      $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO doc_a(id_book, id_timeslot) 
      VALUES  ('', '" . $id_timeslot++ . "')" ); 
  echo 'Booking has been added';

 endif;

Answer 1

First you need to switch the id_book field to auto increment. Do you have access to phpMyAdmin or some tool to modify the database tables? Then you may want to use a structure more like this. It could be better than this, but I am trying to keep things simple.

switch ($_POST['minutes_booking']) {
   case '0':
      $mysqli->query('INSERT INTO doc_a (id_timeslot) VALUES ('.$_POST['id_timeslot'].')');
      break;
   case '1':
      $mysqli->query('INSERT INTO doc_a (id_timeslot) VALUES ('.$_POST['id_timeslot'].')');
      $mysqli->query('INSERT INTO doc_a (id_timeslot) VALUES ('.++$_POST['id_timeslot'].')');
      break;
}

查看MySQL UPDATE语句 ，它允许您更改表中一行中的字段的值。
