Project Type	Travel Concierge Service for Southwest Airlines Passengers
Technologies	PHP, MySQL, Linux cron jobs
Details	Checkin4Me allowed users to forward their Southwest Itineraries (as they complete the booking process or at any time afterward) to their own personal email address at Checkin4Me.com. The Checkin4Me servers processed emails as they were received and parsed the HTML itineraries into jobs that were stored in the MySQL database for each leg of the itinerary. Cron jobs running every 5 minutes would check for itineraries needing to be processed and would use the information from the itinerary to check users in for their flights. Emails were generated when itineraries were received (with an iCal link for adding the flight to the user's favorite calendar program) and when the check in process was complete (containing the HTML from the actual boarding pass).
