Today we had the quick job of posting some data to Travel Click’s iHotelier application. We had a client that has a hotel (obviously) and needed their reservation form connected to ihotelier’s web based reservation application.
I figured it would help someone if i documented the steps it took to send data to them..
We placed the form action to ihotelier appication and you end up with a page like this:
The main thing to know is that the ihotelier application accepts $_GET data in a certain formation as follows:
- DateIn
- DateOut
- Adults
- Children
- Rooms
- HotelID
- LanguageID
The full url that we ended up posting to was something like:
https://reservations.ihotelier.com/istay.cfm?DateIn=9/1/2011&DateOut=9/7/2011&Adults=1&Children=0&Rooms=1&HotelID=13187&LanguageID=1
Its actually a pretty simple system once you know the variables it wants. We had to figure it from trial and error unfortunately.
Hope this helps.. See ya!
