FREE Open-Source GM Online Registration System

Overview

I have developed an online registration system for various events.
It uses HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and a MySQL database.
As a "pay back" for all the freeware I have used over the years,
I am releasing the system as freeware under the Open Software License v. 3.0

The system is very easy to use.
You create a PayPal Seller account, if you don't already have one.
You create a MySQL database with a user and password.
You edit one configuration file to define the data fields for the registration page.
You click one button to generate the database table to hold the data.
You click one button to generate the HTML registration page.
That's it! You now have a working online registration system!

The generated HTML page is functional, but not very pretty.
You will probably want to edit it to improve the layout
and add custom text about the event, but that is simple.

Features:

• Registration for multiple people
• Can specify to not share personal information with others
• Options to indicate Gender, Child, and/or Student
• Hospitality options: Need, Offer, Smoking, Cats, Dogs, Car Pooler
