[mysql] mysql after insert trigger which updates another table's column

i'm trying to write a trigger, I have following tables: BookingRequest:

  +-----------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
    | Field     | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
    +-----------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
    | idRequest | int(11) | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
    | roomClass | int(11) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
    | inDate    | date    | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
    | outDate   | date    | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
    | numOfBeds | int(11) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
    | status    | int(11) | NO   | MUL | NULL    |                |
    | idUser    | int(11) | NO   | MUL | NULL    |                |
    +-----------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

status table:

+------------+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field      | Type                                             | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| idStatus   | int(11)                                          | NO   | PRI | NULL    |       |
| nameStatus | enum('underConsideration','approved','rejected') | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+------------+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

OccupiedRoom:

+--------------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field        | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+--------------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| idOccupation | int(11) | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| idRoom       | int(11) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| idRequest    | int(11) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
+--------------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

i need a trigger which will change status in BookingReques to 1 if request with the same id is inserted into OccupiedRoom table, so i tried something like this

create trigger occupy_trig after insert on OccupiedRoom 
for each row
begin
  if BookingRequest.idRequest= NEW.idRequest
   then
       update BookingRequest
       set status = '1';
       where idRequest = NEW.idRequest;

    end if;
END;

and it doesn't work, so any suggestions would be very appriciated

With your requirements you don't need BEGIN END and IF with unnecessary SELECT in your trigger. So you can simplify it to this

CREATE TRIGGER occupy_trig AFTER INSERT ON occupiedroom 
FOR EACH ROW
  UPDATE BookingRequest
     SET status = 1
   WHERE idRequest = NEW.idRequest;

DELIMITER //

CREATE TRIGGER contacts_after_insert
AFTER INSERT
   ON contacts FOR EACH ROW

BEGIN

   DECLARE vUser varchar(50);

   -- Find username of person performing the INSERT into table
   SELECT USER() INTO vUser;

   -- Insert record into audit table
   INSERT INTO contacts_audit
   ( contact_id,
     deleted_date,
     deleted_by)
   VALUES
   ( NEW.contact_id,
     SYSDATE(),
     vUser );

END; //

DELIMITER ;

Maybe remove the semi-colon after set because now the where statement doesn't belong to the update statement. Also the idRequest could be a problem, better write BookingRequest.idRequest
