Author PHP SQL barcode tracker script

I am looking for a simple PHP script to track the location of
file/folders in my office. I'd like to use an SQL database to store
the information. A simple script that includes a search function and
the ability to change field values easily and quickly through a web
interface would be ideal. Anyone scene anything that sounds similar?

thanks in advance

That's pretty open ended there, You need something that keeps an inventory
of items (the barcode bit technically the unique record ID, nothing more
than a small text field or integer field) and has a location identifier
field. The best working location id is something you are going to have to
figure out on your own, unless you want to subscribe to a standard like
Dewey Decimal, etc. You are probably going to have to survey your office
filing systems/locations and dtermine a coding method to properly locate
the file (i.e. clinets-A, or fiscal-invoices-2004-A, note how there is no
physical location only general cetegories - when you move you can still
locate stuff.)

Look for some library scripts ( http://sourceforge.net is a good start I
found some possibilities by searching for library and tracking) but you
will still have to take into consideration on how you wish to identify your
locations.
