I NEED HELP SEEDING A SCHEDULE TABLE

[al demartino]

MY SITUATION:
I AM DOING A SENIOR PROJECT AND I NEED TO SEED A SCHEDULE TABLE. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH
mySQL.

WHAT I HAVE:
I HAVE A PHP FORM THAT HAS A DROP DOWN BOX WHERE A USER CAN SELECT MONTHS OF THE YEAR
(i.e. MAY 2005). WHEN MAY 2005 IS SELECTED, THE USER CLICKS A BUTTON. I ALSO KNOW THE BASIC PSEUDOCODE TO DO WHAT I NEED TO DO.

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW:
WHEN THAT BUTTON IS PRESSED, I NEED TO TRIGGER A NESTED IF STATEMENT THAT WILL FILL IN THE AVAILABLE TIMES FOR THAT PARTICULAR MONTH WITH A STATUS OF OPEN. IN ORACLE PL/SQL I CAN CREATE A PACKAGE AND VARIABLE NAMES TO DO THIS. HOW DO I DO IT IN mySQL?
