I'll try to be clear ! Sorry!
Anyone familiar with geocaching.com? Geocaching is kind of like a treasure
hunt, you use GPS to find hidden containers. Some of these containers contain
what are called "Travel Bugs" - usually an item of some sort, a toy or whatever
that is attached to the official geocaching.com travel bug (they look like dog
tags). Each one of the travel bugs has a unique number which you can search
for, and then see the history of where it's been on their web page.
I would like to be able to do the same thing, only using my own unique
numbers - I would place the item with the unique number in a cache and hope
that whoever moved it would come to my web page and "log" it - obviously, they
would have to be able to search for the number, log their new info on the web
page,and see a new web page with the updated info.
Hopefully, that is more clear? I'll try again if it's still confusing, or
check out geocaching.com, go the "trackable items" and view the travel bug
pages; I don't want or need anything that elaborate on my web site, just maybe
a few fields that can be updated and the visitor can see the history of the
travel bug. Thanks again for the help,
mp.

You would need to tell us more about what you are doing. Your request
for info wasn't very clear.
What do you mean, track an item? Like a parcel, from a carrier, or
something?
Basically, if you have access to data, especially if it is lots of data,
then PHP and MySQL will help you to search through the data for the
information that your visitor wants.
