JMair Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'm making a simple Php/MySQl inventory website for the computers on my campus. I'm able to wrap my brain around using a single table, but I think I'm at a point where I need to do more. Here's my question. In addition to adding info into mysql like the computers Make, Model, SN. I would also like to have a History Of Instances of a machine that ended up on my work bench, so I have a record or history of that machine. So how do I go about doing this? I'm not actually looking for php code, but more of the theory or structure to do it. Thanks a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
