I need to construct a set of admin pages for a website so internal users can INSERT and UPDATE data for a group of related tables. I dont want to re-invent the wheel on this and due to nested foreign key constraints, it's not so straightforward.
Here's my example:
Project --------- proj_id pkey title varchar
Employees ----------- empl_id pkey dept_id fkey name varchar
ProjEmployees (many employees on a project) -------------- proj_id pkey/fkey empl_id pkey/fkey
Department ----------- dept_id pkey name varchar
Creating a COMPLETE PROJECT involves populating all of these tables but users dont think ahead and understand the dependencies. A person adding Employees to a Project will have to search for that Employee and then add them. Sometimes they will suddenly realize that they need to create (insert) a new Employee before they can add them to a Project (add to ProjEmployees) and maybe then have to create (insert) a new Department, and so on...
Are there some pre-existing examples for how to go about this in PHP/Psql?
Thanks,
-Aaron
