grungefreak Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi, Can somebody please let me know if it's feasible or possible to develop the following using PHP (and any other connected technologies such as MySQL, XML, Javascript etc): I want to develop a small application that will assist a number of people to work on a text file/excel file. This file is worked on online and changes can be tracked also e.g. written to a log file or something. When a change is made to the file, the other collaborators are notified via email and the must approve the changes before they take effect. Any advice at a high level would be much appreciated.

Maq Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Sounds similar to subversion. There may be a client that has similar features you desire. http://subversion.tigris.org/ These are open source, so you can get some ideas on how to go about designing and creating certain features. But to answer your question, yes it's very feasible to accomplish this type of application with the listed languages, and in fact some of the clients are codes in those.

laffin Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 or if u want u can already check out some sites that provide a workgroup environment. Google Docs and Glide OS, which is a virtual desktop with java apps, I believe u can share documents with friends, and work on it.
