Hi. I have been volunteering for a non profit organization this summer. They basically rip apart old comupters, recycle the parts we can't use and use th parts that are decent to build new computers. The new computers are then given out to the people in the community who could not afford them or other NPOs in need, free of charge and with linux installed.
I have been helping out with various stages of the process this summer, and in the past few weeks have taken to coding a simple database app in PHP that would use MySQL to store information regarding people volunteering, people we give computers to, and a very basic inventory database management system. Before this they were keeping all their records on legal pads (think very big piles of legal pads).
All they need for the inventory is an ID number, A description tag, and whether or not it was recycled, and a seperate section for monitors and computers.
Anyway, my problem is I started coding this by hand ( I know mySQL and PHP well enough to do this). I have the customer information part coded, but still need to do the volunteer information and the inventory information. The problem is that school started again and I have a HEAVY work load this semester and not much time to work on this project anymore, but I would still like to complete it in a somewhat timely fashion.
I'm looking for any advice, or packages (i.e. php libraries, fully coded systems that you can configure, etc) that you may know of that would make my life much easier. I have so far just coded everything using the basic stuff that comes with PHP and MySQL (no pear, etc.)
I currently am running their server on a Linux platform (Gentoo) running a 2.4.26 (I think, its definately 2.4) kernel and have apache2, php and mysql running ( The most recent stable versions as of about 1 month ago ).
