Help! Need to make a pricing interface for a website!

[aress]

Hi all, new here!

A few years ago, I created a website for friends up north, who rent out holiday cottages;

http://www.paibeilcottages.co.uk/

If you look at either of the cottages, there is a "Rates" page, listing the rates for each month. Each time these rates change, I am e-mailed with a request to alter the prices on the website.

What I really want to do is create a "hidden" page on the website, where the owners of the cottages can go to enter the prices for each month themselves, and the changes will take effect on the main website.

Can anyone advise me as to how I can do this?

Thanks!

sounds like a job for php to me... variables and/or includes

Ok, I've never worked with PHP before, just advanced HTML and Javascript.

Basically I need to create a page with the 12 months listed, and a price next to each month. I need to create a hidden page with some sort of form or interface, where the owner can alter the prices for each month - is there a script anywhere I could download to do this?

Thanks

I'm not very advanced in PHP so I really wouldn't know, however I can point you in the direction of a few people who are and who might...

This is a fairly simple application. It's a simple matter of writing and recalling from a database via PHP.

First, make sure that PHP and MySQL are available to you via your host. If they are, I'll walk you through it.

Hi, thanks for the help...

the website is hosted by Streamlinenet.co.uk, and I do have MySQL available on that server. I can't find any information about PHP on their website, but they are the number 1 host in the U.K., so I can only assume that PHP is supported.

If they have MySQL, they will have PHP. Most host these days do support PHP and MySQL. But, its still good to double check.

If you want to wait until Monday/Tuesday, I'm going to be finished with a simple script that will do just thing. I made it for a client and have gotten their permission to release it. It probably won't be in release-form by next week, but if you want to take a look at it pre-release (it might be a little messy but still decipherable), shoot me a PM.

I'll try to get a demo up as soon as i can.

Thanks for all your help! I've sent you an e-mail.
