Want to edit a php file from my php site

[borris83]

I am maintaining a workstation inventory in my office and I store the name of the products in some variables and in an array.. I include the file in lot of pages to display the table header etc...


$office_2003 = "Microsoft Office 2003" ;
$office2007 = "Microsoft Office 2007" ;
$project = "Microsoft Project 2003" ;
$project2007 = "Microsoft Project 2007" ;
$sql2000 = "Microsoft SQL server 2000" ;
$sql2005 = " Microsoft SQL server 2005" ;
$sql2008 = "Microsoft SQL server 2008" ;
$visio = "Visio" ;
$vb6 = "Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Ed" ;
$dotnet2003 = "Visual Studio .NET 2003 Ent" ;
$dotnet2005 = "Visual Studio .NET 2005 " ;
$dotnet2008 = "Visual Studio .NET 2008 " ;
$vss = " VSS" ;
$emb_vc = "Embedded VC++ " ;
$adobeflex = "Adobe Flex " ;
$delphi = "Delphi " ;






$products = array("office_2003","office2007","project", "project2007", "sql2000" ,"sql2005", "sql2008", "visio","vb6","dotnet2003", "dotnet2005",
"dotnet2008", "vss", "emb_vc", "adobeflex", "delphi");

If I want to add a new product, I obviously need to edit this page to add one more value in the array as well as one more variable and create one more field in the database..

I want to create a friendly page so that anybody could add a product from the website itself instead of messing with the code..

How can I do that?

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you want couldn't you just have a products table in your database and read this to create your header array.

yeap, use table on your database to fetch this dynamic data.
fetch it and put it on your array()

I never thought about doing it this way... I will try that
