What I ment is that the Arduino does not have a RTC.It will cost you more than the Arduino to make it keep track of time.
Ahhh! Thanks for the info. I was aware. But just like this project, I'm only using the Arduino as a notification tool. It sends the message and the database server then logs the time. No biggie, just follow me.
(that's a good shield, lefty)
Back on subject, I'll work my way from the cloud to the ground.
I'll need the database for simplicity of data handling between pages and session timeout issues. 4 fields are enough I suppose: index for line item handling, door, status, and a time stamp. Any ideas on what else I may need to record?
using phpMyAdmin, it might look something like the attached picture.
