Online Reservation Scripts

I know several of you have recommended various php online booking/
reservation scripts in the past but I can’t find the posts. I already
have a list of potential candidates from HotScripts but I would like
some personal recommendations.

Thanks,

Todd

I may need to create a facility where visitors can sign-up to attend
seminars on specific dates with the info being stored in a database
of some sort that the client can then access via an admin area.
Probably at most the only info that would need to be collected is the
full customer name but possibly the seminar name and date also.

I’ve been through HotScripts (php section) but they seem either too
much for what’s needed or intended for something else. Could anyone
suggest a script that perhaps they’ve used and like? Or a manual
solution (no script) that serves the same purpose?

To what extent do you want to “get out and push” here? If what’s
available in canned form is too complex from the user and/or admin
side, then what I would probably recommend is rolling your own. If
you use a framework to manage the database persistence side of
things, this can be quite simple.

For the last couple of years, I have been using MyActiveRecord, by
Jake Grimley at MadeMedia in Oxford. This one-page script wraps
around MySQL and takes much of the drudgery out of database-driven
design. It’s available at http://phpclasses.org. There’s some
example documentation, and if you have specific questions about it, I
can help out in the Dynamo list.

I wouldn’t mind rolling my own but having said that it’s more of a cost concern for the client. What they need is minimal and seems straightforward which is why I would prefer using a canned solution and I’m hoping I can find something suitable on HotScripts or someone can recommend one.

I’ll look at the link you sent, it does seem interesting.

It kind of sounds like an event calendar might work as opposed to a full blown reservation system. The one I am using is not designed for multiple users and is not so task specific, but I seem to recall seeing something like that on Hotscripts when I was shoppin around. I’ll see if I can sus it.
