Is there a way of having people select information on one page that would automatically update another, for instance for a booking form.

While you could have pull down menus for times, dates or whatever is there a way of using this data created to automatically update a table or another page to display the overall stats.

Write the data to a file using an appropriate script, then load in the data for the overall page using another script (or the same one with a different argument) and display the data how you want.

If the page is at the end of a lot of forms, use hidden fields to pass the data a long (or even cookies). Problem with this solution is that the page isn't static, view once lose forever.
