PHP/MySQL inventory system for small school book program

Good day programmers, I am in need of a small inventory project for my church's internal book program. Current Environment: School has 300 students. Each student has a (name, studentId, categoryId, classroomNumber, and status (active, blocked due to not returning books timely). There are a dozen or so classrooms. Each classroom has a teacherName, roomNumber, gradeNumber. There are books, approximately 800 of them. There are categories of books (stages of difficulty). There are 10 categories. Each category has a categoryId and colorName. Each book has a bookId, title, categoryId, and assignment (Available or checked out). There are assignments, books that have been assigned to specific students (assignmentId, studentId, bookId, assignmentDate, returnDate). Currently this is all done by paper. I would like to set this up in an automated way, so that we put barcodes on the books and student bags, and are able to quickly check books in, and check them out. I have a computer running windows 7 that I can install webserver software on. As I have some familiarity with PHP and MySQL, I would like it written in that. I think it makes it possible for us to put the webserver on the local network so that teachers can check out their students' assignments. That part is unnecessary and out of scope for this project. I am not looking for fancy interfacing. Simple PHP standard formatting and output. I only am looking for the following functionality: 1) Book Check-in mode: scanning a book's barcode while in this mode would mark the book available, unassign it from the current student, set return date to date book scanned returned. 2) Book check-out mode: While in this mode, steps would be as follows: a) scan student's barcode on his/her bag b) Student's level and status shows on screen (valid student or locked) c) scan barcode of prospective book d) book is confirmed on the same level as student - OK e) book is confirmed as not one the student has been assigned before. - OK f) if both are okay, check out to student is valid. 3) Reporting a) late report -) Listing, broken down by classroom, of students with books out past XX days - set in admin screen, warning threshold -) listing, broken down by classroom of students with books out past YY days - set in admin screen, LOCKED threshold, no new assignments to that student - listing broken down by classroom, sorted by studentName, book assigned to them on date 4) Admin interface a) set simple variable amounts, like how many days a book can be checked out before student put on Warning list, Locked list. b) users list: not in scope for this project. No security implementation need be added for this project. If you are able to do it and want to do it as a simple add-on, please PM me. 5) Initial date import. a) unnecessary. I will import data using PHPmyAdmin or something. I would like you to use dummy data for testing purposes. Barcode scan data is 12 digits, I believe. Names, unsure what the longest name is, but plan for normal name lengths with the occasional large name. Titles lengths, the same I guess. That is all I can think of. If you have any suggestions to make this easier for you to program or some streamlining, please do not be shy. And thank you for your time.

Hello, Good to see this project and the way you have summarized and explained it. I am quite clear on what you need and can get it done as per your expectations. I can get it done in native php/mysql or in an MVC framework(codeIgniter). I'll try my level best to make the most easy user interface for this application. I am very interested in this project and will look forward for your response and discuss this further if needed. Best Regards, Waqas Ahmed.

Hello, I can create a software, in php +mysql, admin will be able to import/add students, books. Assign levels to students, create users. The users (librarians) can then scan the barcodes. Then the app will work mainly as you described, but i'm sure we will come up with needed changes as we go. These are ok, don't worry about it..unless it's a new feature that takes a lot to code:), then we can discus it. Design wise, i'm using bootstrap, so it will look OK, but the main point is that ti will be EASY to use, with all the info at a glance, and will use AJAX validations for a better overall experience. Of course, all the stats you need will be included. and then some (if I can ready it from the DB, you can have it):) PS. I love this kind of work, so it will be a pleasure to work on the project.

I'm a US based developer and I'm interested in working on this project with you. I propose developing a PHP/MySQL based solution as you describe, developing the site on my server and delivering the final php files and the script to create the mysql database. You've provided a very detailed description of the pieces you need and the necessary database structure, which makes my job much easier. In terms of integration with the barcode scanner, the script would be setup so that the appropriate form field automatically has focus when the page loads, and when the appropriate length barcode is entered (either by hand, or usually through the scanned barcode), the page will automatically submit the form to reduce the clicks required to check out/in a book. If you have any questions about my proposal or you're interested in proceeding, please let me know! Take a look at my reviews here on Freelancer to see what previous clients have said about my work. Thanks!
