Has anybody any experience developing a basic reservation system? A client of mine owns a few guest houses and wants cutomers to be able to check availabilty and reserve rooms.

Just looking for some pointers on how to go about it. Build from scratch or perhaps build over some sort of open source package..

Thanks guys.
 
From my knowledge of such areas, which isnt amazing i would suggest this:

PHP and Mysql. The manager can login and add a reservation which then gets stored into the database. The clients can then open a site and all non-available dates cant be seen.

Im not sure how good your php skills are so id suggest just browsing google for php and mysql tutorials.

Maybe it would be useful to look at this tutorial. It is for a usersystem which you could edit to make it how you need it.

Thanks Chief.

I'm not too handy on the PHP yet so I'd be really looking for something open source that I can customize. But I'd love to know more PHP, I'm definately going to start cramming some skills.

BTW, have you seen the pic in the bottom of that link? :eek:
 
Ouch, nasty :P

Its a language definantly worth knowing. Im learning myself at the moment and when making websites its very useful.
