I don't know much about WebDAV, but sounds like that
is not possible with PHP. You need something on the
client side. I have used Groove (a collaboration
software, They have a free demo as well -
http://groove.net). It's not PHP based but when I open
a shared document and switch back to groove I receive
a popup window - 'Groove has deteceted changes to
'Document Name' Would you like to upload changes?'
Something like that.
So I guess maybe you could use some type of client
side program that checks the document last modified on
opening and then again when they switch back to the
(both from the Temp files folder) web browser.
