Hello,
I am about to start writing a new project in PHP, and before I start
reinventing the wheel (or, rather, the multiple wheels, bells and whistles
which this project requires), I wanted to find out if there is an existing
project similar to this which I can use for inspiration/borrowing
code. I've looked on www.php.net/projects.php3, and some of them are
similar, but need multiple adjustments, and I don't feel like gunzip-ing
and looking through every one of them. Anyway, here's what the project is
supposed to do, briefly:
1. Admin:Manage group/user time allocations on a large computing
network. An administrator should be able to add/delete CPU time allocated
to every group, copy "left-over" time from previous sessions, change
passwords, add users etc.
2. Group manager should be able to view how much time his group has,
add/update/delete users "attached" to his group (mostly address
information), *maybe* change user's passwords.
3. Support interface: should something go wrong, telephone support people
should be able to log in and change a particular user's info/password.
Obviously, this would require an authentication mechanism which would
identify a user as belogning to one of the three categories and give him
the appropriate privileges. The database is Oracle 8. I've got PHP 3.0.11
and PHPLIB installed on my Solaris box with Apache as Web server.
Thanks for you suggestions !
Mikhail
