php mysql need help with table trigger
Hi -
I have a table with time card type data -
I need help creating a trigger for two specific fields in the table (start_time, end_time) that will not allow the fields to be updated once they have values in them -
The process is that a 'record' is inserted into the table for a specific task with empty start and stop datetime fields -
The start and stop fields are updated using a form when the task is started and finished -
I do not want the user to be able to use the form again to 'change' the start and finished times -
This is my first attempt at creating a trigger and I have spent way too many hours trying to figure out how to make this work :-)
Any and all help gratefully appreciated -
