webInOutBoard

Summary:

webInOutBoard lets you toss that employee in/out whiteboard in favor of a simple web page that employees can mark themselves in and out, leave notes on when they will be back, or find quick contact information for a coworker.

webInOutBoard is a web based script written with PHP that uses a mySQL database to store user information.
