Hello all...

Nothing springs to mind, but considering how simple this would be to implement I would suggest posting here and pay someone to do it, shouldn't cost more than 5 hours of work.

If that's all it needs to do it wouldn;t take long to put a MySQL backend in place and handle it using that ;)

Not the answer you're looking for I know but just my $0.02

I would want to be able to have a admin area where the seminar info can be entered, edited and deleted if necessary. When a customer browses the seminars and clicks to register it would need to get registration info on each person and stuff that into a datbase, total the registartion cost and pass that on to a cr4dit card handler. It would also need to be able to track the total seats open. There also needs to be an admin area for managing who is regiostered for what seminar. This would need to be abe to handle the exceptions like cancellations etc.

I know I couldn't do it in five hours. Anybody out there think they can?

As the person who has written the conference management software and hotel room booking software integrated into one of the UK's major tourism portals I can say that you have grossly underestimated what is involved in planning and running a seminar. The software I originally wrote took around 8 weeks development, and it's been evolving for the last 3 and a bit years. Even a really, really simplified version would take a few days to build.

No, with a defined and agreed apon spec the work would not take longer than 5 man hours to complete by a competent PHP developer. The only area I can see that may add to this timescale would be a pretty front end.
