i have a number of villas in spain but id like to be able to show there availability online to prosepctive clients to cut down on wasting there time when a particular villa is not available!

i need to be able to show booked and available periods from anything from 1 day to two months,

does anyone know i way i could do this, are there any ready made scripts out there doing this,

many thanks
Dan

Firstly you have to store the availibility data in some form. You can do this using simple text files or you can set up a simple DB.

The second step is selecting the right data from the database and show it to the users.

PHP and MYSQL(database) is a popular and free combination. We have no indication of your programmings skills at this moment. It takes time to learn this kind of thing if you are not into programming.

If you just need results on no neat and funky solutions just go for the simple approach: create an html file per villa containing a simple table and you're done :-)

The db option of course offers more flexibility. You can for example search for 'all villa's in Area X that are available between date1 and date2'

Dan, maybe take a look for reservation software or similar keywords there are a bunch of them out there.
