I was hoping someone here could answer a question for me regarding the
functionality of php. A while back someone told me I could use it to
accomplish our goal.
We have two assistants who work for the same boss. They use an old
program called Ecco Pro to keep a journal of his calls. The nice thing
about Ecco is both assistants can open and edit the same file at the
same time. As assistant A is making an entry (change or deletion)
assistant B see's the changes in real-time. Same thing if Assistant B
makes changes. I tried using Excel Workbook share tool, but it's not
really what we are looking for.
Can php do something similar, provide near real-time updates to say a
form. The form wouldn't have to be more than a couple of pages in
length, the are constantly adding and deleting entries. The would also
have to be able to save the data when they leave for the evening. It's
a Windows environment, if that matters.
I loaded php on my machine at home this weekend, but couldn't find a
function to do this, perhaps it's available as an add-in extension.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
