revision control through file upload

[Hemanth]

Hello there,

I've a form that allows multiple users to upload documents
(xls/doc/pdf/ppt/txt etc) to a few directories on the web server. Once
uploaded I want to give users the flexibility to edit them (check out
and checkin) with revision control. In fact, I want to imitate the
basic functionality of CVS/RCS through php scripts & mysql db. Can
someone suggest me a simpler way to acheive this?

Set up a SVN (alternativly CVS etc.) server? That would be the easiest
way I think, then you don't need to make alot of new code for the
revision control yourself. SVN also has nice features such as
binary diff etc.
