Free Hotel Reservation System Source Code Using PHP PDO

Free Hotel Reservation System Source Code Using PHP PDO Database

Today, I will be uploading a Free Hotel Reservation System Source Code Using PHP PDO Database.

This system works through a hotel’s website wherein the customers can do a secure online reservation.

With this simple reservation management system,  the customer can reserve multiple rooms and it will be processed in the backend system where the administrator can manage bookings, Rooms, Amenities, user accounts, and customer request.

The hotel owner will be able to recognize the important key factors of technology in increasing their business bookings over time. 

Free Hotel Reservation System Source Code Using PHP PDO

This project is derived from my previous hotel management system source code submitted here entitled Online Hotel Reservation System Using PHP and MYSQLi.

One of the Major updates in this project is the user can now reserve multiple rooms with the filter for a number of adults and children, and on the back-end, most of the functions are being coded mostly in AJAX  and Javascript format.

In addition, the guest can easily do an online booking transaction reservation. You can only enjoy the source code if you experience this with yourself.

Follow the given instructions below:

  1. Download the full source code here.
  2. Create a database in phpmyadmin and Name it as “justinesdb”
  3. Download the database here.
  4. Run the program.

For sample demonstration of the of an online hotel reservation system, watch this video.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this PHP hotel reservation system work?

Guests browse rooms by date range, the PHP script checks Booking table for conflicts via MySQL queries, confirmed reservations save with status (pending/confirmed/cancelled). Admin sees occupancy + manages rates. Built with vanilla PHP + MySQL + Bootstrap.

What PHP and MySQL versions does this project require?

Most projects in this batch run on PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.2 with MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10+. A few older projects need PHP 5.6 (deprecated, use XAMPP 7.x). To run: install XAMPP / WAMP / Laragon, extract project to htdocs, import the included .sql file via phpMyAdmin, edit the connection file (usually config.php or db_connect.php) with your DB credentials, browse to the project URL in your browser.

How do I set up the database for this PHP project?

Open phpMyAdmin (http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ on XAMPP), create a new empty database with the name specified in the project’s config.php. Click the Import tab, choose the included .sql file, click Go. Then edit config.php (or includes/connection.php) with: ‘localhost’, your MySQL username (usually ‘root’), your MySQL password (usually blank for XAMPP), and the database name.

Can I use this PHP project for a BSIT capstone or thesis?

Yes, but extend it. A bare CRUD app is too narrow for full capstone scope. Add: user roles via session checks, reports/dashboards (Chart.js + AJAX), PDF exports (TCPDF library), email notifications (PHPMailer), real domain extension (analytics, audit log, multi-branch support). Pair with Chapter 1-5 documentation matching your panel’s rubric.

Why am I getting ‘connection error’ or ‘undefined function mysqli_connect’?

Three common PHP issues: (1) Connection error: Apache + MySQL services not running in XAMPP control panel, OR database name in config.php does not match what you created in phpMyAdmin. (2) ‘undefined function mysqli_connect’: MySQL extension not enabled, in php.ini uncomment extension=mysqli (then restart Apache). (3) ‘No such file or directory’: MySQL socket path wrong, use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in the connection string.

Where can I find more PHP projects with source code?

Browse the PHP Projects hub for the full library (300+ vanilla PHP systems). For modern PHP MVC alternatives see Laravel Projects (74 systems) or CodeIgniter Projects (32 systems). For BSIT-focused capstone idea lists see 150 Best Capstone Project Ideas.
