I have to do a airplane online reservation ticket system and I have little time to do it. Can anyone point some examples related to this type of problem? I just want some pointers because basically I think I can resolve this problem by putting together several parts that I can find on the internet so I don't have to start from scratch as I have little time to do it. I tried google but no succes.....
10x in advance

to be honest with you I always agree with this type of things...when I really need something urgently I'm willing to pay.....but in this case we're talking about a school project...is not quite a life or death sitatuion if u know what I mean

. And I do have 2 weeks ahead of me ... the only problem is that I also work and I don't have the time and I'm not in the mood for programing after like 7 or 8 hours of working.

. I can do this myself but it will be a very sloppy job probably....in any case...just curious...what are the prices today? how much would you ask for a project like this?

Which software/programming languages are you required to use? Or is that open to whatever you want? That would definitly point you in the right direction right off the bat. And possibly help the forum users point you in the right direction as to where to get the right documentation

I don't think you should pay anybody to do a school project in any case

Ask for help here by all means but let's not discuss paying for it hey
Steps at a first glance:
1. Set up a database table (flights) that stores the details of each flight (flight number, destination, maximum passengers)
2. Create a table that stores the orders, using the flight number as a key to the actual flight.
3. Add customers to this table always checking if the total number of customers for this flight has not exceeded the value for max passengers in the flights table.
If you get that working, the extras are just frilly bits like removing customers from a flight, putting people in first class, recording who wants food and who doesn't etc.

Just reservation is not a so big deal...but if you want to calculate shortest paths and available paths between destinations...you are in trouble

Usually a bit of research on 'shortest path algorith' (eg: Dijkstra) returns understandable solutions
