I need to create an HTML script which will enable my team of 20-30 members to update the number of 'files processed' at a certain interval. I was thinking if there is a way to do this in the simplest way, yet something classy & not like a shared worksheet In short, I want like 20 people to update the site with the progress & one person will get to see the updated results & update it to a spreadsheet which tracks the progress. It should be like a 'live' page which gets updated every 1-2 seconds & shows the inputs from every user... Any ideas/suggestions will be appreciated...
Is there an easy way to do this? I don't think so. Can you do it with just HTML? Probably not. I would create a MySQL database with the fields you want to store in your spreadsheet. Then, create php pages to Create, Read, Update and Delete these entries (it's called a C.R.U.D) application. Then you could use javascript or jQuery to update the view of the page element using an AJAX call to the php file that creates the table.
