Introduction to Online Hotel Reservation
system development using PHP
In today's digital age, the hospitality sector relies more on technology to
simplify operations and improve consumer experiences. The Online Hotel
Reservation System is an excellent illustration of this transition, as it
provides a simple platform for clients to browse, book, and manage bookings
for hotels from anywhere in the globe. This project focuses on creating such
a system using PHP, a strong and versatile programming language
commonly used in web development.
The online hotel booking system is intended to meet the interests of
consumers and hotel management. It provides clients with an easy-to-use
interface for browsing available hotels, selecting rooms, and securely paying.
It gives administrators the ability to manage hotel listings, track
reservations, and provide analytical data. By automating the reservation
process, this solution not only improves consumer pleasure but also
increases operational efficiency.
In this presentation, I will go over the primary features, system structure, and
creation process of the Online Hotel Reservation System, demonstrating how
PHP was used to create a robust and scalable solution.
Key Features of the system
1) User Registration and Login
This feature allows users to create an account by providing essential information such as their name, email,
and password. Registered users can log in to the system, which grants them access to personalized features
like managing their bookings and viewing past reservations. User identification guarantees that only
authorized users may make bookings, which improves security and provides a more customized experience.
It also aids in the maintenance of user-specific information, such as booking history and interests.

2) Hotel search and Availability check

Users may search for hotels using a variety of parameters, including location, check-in and check-
out dates, number of guests and special facilities. The system then provides a list of available
hotels, including room kinds, pricing, and availability. This function is critical for consumers seeking
suitable lodgings quickly and effectively. By filtering results according to user preferences, the
system improves the user experience and increases the possibility of reservations.

3) Room booking and Reservation Management

After choosing a hotel, users may pick from different room types, specify the amount of rooms, and make a
reservation. The system manages the reservation process and ensures that room availability is updated in real
time. Users may also see, edit, and cancel their reservations using their account. This feature is the system's
essential functioning. It makes the booking process easier for users and guarantees that the hotel's room
inventory is properly controlled, eliminating multiple reservations or overbooking.
4) Payment Gateway Integration

The system includes a payment gateway that allows for safe online payment processing. Users may pay for
their bookings using a variety of methods, including credit/debit cards, digital wallets, and bank transfers. After
successful making a payment, the system verifies the booking and produces a receipt. Payment integration
enables a smooth end-to-end booking process. It allows consumers to complete transactions in a safe and
simple manner, while the hotel receives rapid payment confirmation, lowering the chance of unpaid bookings
.

5) Admin Panel for Managing Bookings, Rooms, and Users

The administration area is a the back end interface that allows administrators to administer the whole system.
They can add or edit hotel and room details, track reservations, manage user accounts, and produce reports on
hotel occupancy, revenue, and other indicators. The administrative panel is critical for preserving the system's
integrity and guaranteeing smooth operations. It provides administrators with tools for managing the hotel's
inventory, handling client questions, and making data-driven choices to maximize company performance.

Database Design
This presentation describes the database architecture of the Online Hotel Reservation
System. The design is critical because it specifies how data is stored, structured, and
associated inside the system, resulting in effective data management and retrieval.
Tables:

1. Users Table
•Purpose: Stores user information, including customer details and admin data.
•Key Columns:
•user_id (Primary Key)
•name
•email
•password
•role (to distinguish between admins and customers)
•Functionality: Manages user authentication, tracks user actions like bookings, and distinguishes user roles.

2. Hotels Table
•Purpose: Contains details of all hotels available for booking.
•Key Columns:
•hotel_id (Primary Key)
•name
•location
•description
•Functionality: Manages information about each hotel, including its location, description, and general details.
3. Rooms Table
•Purpose: Lists all rooms available across the hotels, including types and availability.
•Key Columns:
•room_id (Primary Key)
•hotel_id (Foreign Key referencing Hotels table)
•room_type
•price
•availability_status
•Functionality: Tracks individual room details within a hotel, such as type, price, and availability, ensuring
that bookings are accurately managed.
4. Bookings Table
•Purpose: Stores data related to user reservations.
•Key Columns:
•booking_id (Primary Key)
•user_id (Foreign Key referencing Users table)
•room_id (Foreign Key referencing Rooms table)
•check_in_date
•check_out_date
•booking_status
•Functionality: Manages reservations by linking users with the rooms they book, along with relevant details
like dates and status.
5. Payments Table
•Purpose: Records payment transactions related to bookings.
•Key Columns:
•payment_id (Primary Key)
•booking_id (Foreign Key referencing Bookings table)
•amount
•payment_date
•payment_method
•Functionality: Ensures all payments are tracked and linked to specific bookings, providing a clear financial
record for both users and the hotel.
 System Architecture
This presentation highlights the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern, a popular design paradigm in web
development, and describes the general structure of the Online Hotel Reservation System.

Model-View-controller pattern
1. Model
• Role: All logic pertaining to data is handled by the model. It stands for the business rules that control how
the data is manipulated as well as the data structure.
Parts:
• PHP Courses: The PHP classes that make up the Model layer specify the data's structure (such as User,
Booking, and Room) and include methods for interacting with the database.
• Database Interaction: To carry out CRUD activities (Create, Read, Update, Delete), the Model directly
interacts with the database via PHP-based SQL queries.
• As an illustration, when a user makes a reservation, the Model logs payment information, modifies room
availability, and changes the database to reflect the new reservation.
2. View
• Role: The data presentation is the responsibility of the View. It determines how the user is presented with
the information and constitutes the application's user interface (UI).
Parts:
• HTML: Specifies how web pages are put together.
• CSS: Styles the webpages to make them aesthetically pleasing and dependable.
• JavaScript: Enables features like dynamic article updates requiring page reloads by adding interactivity to
the pages.
• For instance: The View shows forms for user input (such as search or booking forms), data about the rooms,
and a list of hotels that are currently available. The confirmation page is shown following a successful
reservation.
3. Controller

• Role: The Controller serves as a go-between for the View and the Model. It takes in input from the user,
works with the Model to get or update data, and then chooses the right View to show the output.
Parts:

• PHP Scripts: PHP scripts that manage certain functions, including processing booking requests, verifying
user input, or logging users in, make up the Controller layer.

• Example: The Controller verifies the input on a booking form submitted by a user, calls the Model to
modify the database with the booking information, and loads a view to display the booking confirmation.
 Algorithm For Hotel Reservation
System
1. Start
2. User logs in or registers (if new)
3. User searches for hotels by specifying:
- Location
- Check-in and Check-out dates
- Number of guests
4. System queries database for available rooms
5. Display available rooms to the user
6. User selects a room
7. System asks for payment details
8. Process payment:
- If payment is successful, go to step 9
- If payment fails, show error and retry
9. Generate booking details and update the database
10. Send confirmation email to the user
11. End
 Sample Code Snippets
This slide shows sample code for some of the Online Hotel Booking System's most important
features. These snippets demonstrate how several jobs are carried out with PHP and SQL, each
highlighting a particular component of the system.

1. User Registration and Login

• PHP Code for Form Submissions:
// Registration form handler
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

// Hash the password before storing it

$hashed_password = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

// Insert user into the database

$sql = "INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES (?, ?)";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bind_param("ss", $username, $hashed_password);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();
}
2. Password Hashing and Session Management:
// Login form handler
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

// Fetch user data from the database

$sql = "SELECT password FROM users WHERE username = ?";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bind_param("s", $username);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($hashed_password);
$stmt->fetch();
$stmt->close();

// Verify the password

if (password_verify($password, $hashed_password)) {
// Start a session and set user information
session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
header("Location: dashboard.php");
} else {
echo "Invalid credentials.";
}
}
3. Hotel Search and Availability
• SQL Query
SELECT * FROM hotels
WHERE location = ? AND
check_in_date <= ? AND
check_out_date >= ? AND
available_rooms > 0;

Based on user-inputted parameters including location, check-in and check-out occasions, and room
availability, this SQL query filters hotels. It chooses hotels based on location and availability of rooms for the
dates given.

4. Booking and payment

• Booking creation code
// Booking creation handler
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$user_id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
$room_id = $_POST['room_id'];
$check_in_date = $_POST['check_in_date'];
$check_out_date = $_POST['check_out_date'];

// Insert booking into the database

$sql = "INSERT INTO bookings (user_id, room_id, check_in_date, check_out_date) VALUES
(?, ?, ?, ?)";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bind_param("iiss", $user_id, $room_id, $check_in_date, $check_out_date);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();
