I'm attempting to mitigate some of the fantasy football draft issues I've had the last few years by creating my own drafting tool. The major requirement, similar to the major draft tools out there (ESPN, Yahoo, CBS Sports, NFL, etc) is to allow people to log in and participate in the draft. I'd like for the draft to be started by an Admin, and be running regardless of if anyone else logs in or logs out, it just needs to run; draft status, draft clock, next team to choose.
I'm familiar with PHP and MySQL however, I'm not thinking this will be enough as I can't maintain the state of the draft using PHP...at least I don't think so to handle this. What would be the recommended avenues to pursue to handle the above requirement?
