    - the tables that support platform information is organized in a simple

modular fashion.

    Each part that makes up a platform (like the OS, server software, php,

etc...) is a separate component in the platform_details table.

    The components in the platform_detail table are organized into a

'platform' in the link_dev_to_platform table. Testers will be able to create multiple platforms. Don't forget that some modules (like session) may be platform dependent too.

Hmmm... I am not sure what context your statement is in... If I am off the mark, please let me know. :) I did not consider that there were platform specific versions of the modules - however, I think that the vartype (short for variant or type) should be able to handle this. i.e.

        type:           PHP Module
        name:           Session
        vartype:        Windows DLL
        version:        x.xx
        language:       n/a
        notes:          ''
