Hi All,

I haven't done much work with MySql especially Manipulating the date and time. I don't have any code yet to put up but i'm trying to do the following:

1. If you register for a course two weeks in advance then you only pay the regular price of the course.

2. If you register between 2weeks and 1day before the course then you pay the price of the course plus a fine.

3. If you register the same day of the course meaning 24hrs or less then you pay the price of the course plus a bigger fine.

4. Also, if a person registers for two courses in the same city they get a discount of %25 of the price of each course.

I don't know if MySql has features that can do this for you or if i'm just gonna have to do it in Perl. If anyone has done something like this before and wouldn't mind sharing their code i would really appreciate it. And if not please direct me to a tutorial that can help me solve these problems.

Thans in Advance,
Kiko
