Default Hotels management system

Hello,

I am making a website giving info about a city. I want to put an option where user selects a type of budget, no. of rooms, nights to stay and on the basis of these requirements he gets the reply.
I have no idea how to do it. Can anybody help me in this case?

My web is hamburgtrip.com but its not developed yet. I have started working on it.

You need a script to query the form request against a database of information and display the returned data. That is beyond the scope of what this forum can help you with, try either searching a website like hotscripts.com for a script you can install, or find a company or freelance to do the script programming for you.

Yes actually you can see its example at www.hamburg-tourism.de/en
where on the right side you can see the section "Search and booking"
I want such kind of program in my web. Is it the same thing you are talking about or different?

Rather than hit the common spots for scripts and the "same old stuff" you may find the suggestions below worthwhile.
Take a look at some of these to see if you can "compromise" enough to make them work for you.

Top-of-the-line system, http://www.phpshoppy.com/products/ho...vation-system/ , but $235

FREEBIES (check out the features of each):
http://www.bigwebmaster.com/1596.html

http://www.getfreesofts.com/script/2...ng_System.html

http://online-sales-software.qarchive.org/

(a selection, actually, from a favorite source of trusted tools) http://online-sales-software.qarchive.org/


Find freelance programming for any budget or project here (if you want to tweak something that looks promising): www.odesk.com

Sorry, but the "selection" of freeebies link up there is wrong, and I got timed out before I could correct it:

Vasili, the links you have given looks quite good but there is one problem. All of them are reservation softwares.
Actually I am interested in such an interface which searches from a database of hotels according to the preferences given by user e.g. I put in 100 hotels in the database and mention their price and location and when user selects a particular price range then only those hotels which meets the user's preference appear in result......
Reservation is the step which comes after what i want in my web...

I hope you can understand it

You should have looked closer to the que of relevant items, and expanded the "search" [pun]: sounds like you are looking to tweak out a 'searchportal' function to produce 'survey' responses ...... look at these:

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/d...g_Pro_48866_p/

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/d...ripts_48985_p/

Back-ends that you can configure to populate another product mentioned above (or similar):
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/d...Chart_35854_p/

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/d...dows__24681_p/

Just a few....you need to see past the box and what you can make of the pieces of the puzzle yourself (many software foundations can do new tricks if you change the labels, names of fields, and relationships...).

And lastly, you can always select one of the programs mentioned, a combination, or another one altogether that you believe is worth tweaking to do exactly what you want and visit www.odesk.com and register yourself for free, post the "job" with as much detail as you can, and sit back and wait to see the bids roll in.... this is the superior place to find freelance programmers to take on jobs of all sorts, and if you look around you'll see the budgets range from $30 to $30,000!!

It's all up to you and how you envision your online dream coming true....

It's all in the query and is not as hard as it seems. :) Basically, you need to write a query that selects all of the options that the user selected.

For example, if the user selects
rooms=2
city=New York

Your query would look something like:

Code:
$query=mysql_query("SELECT * from TABLE where (field_rooms='".$_POST['rooms']."') AND (field_city='".$_POST['city']."')");
That should give you enough to go on if you have basic mysql and php knowledge. If you don't know much about mysql and php, you should use a pre-packaged system.

Like, yeah, that's why this thread is full of the options we found, like right? And why we are still yapping about how to first define the function desired and then see how to homogenize the titles to get them to do what we want, right?

It's more of an exercise in defining the concept clearly and then understanding that defined "process" to the degree of being able to find pre-packs that can be tweaked to perform the desired tasks easily and affordably --- and still be in a system that can be updated and managed simply and personally at the novice level that most of us will remain.
