Thanks for your help
- The script has been developed in the script language PHP and uses functions that are available from Version 4 onwards. That includes PHP/5. PHP/4 or PHP/5 is supported by most Web space providers. For script functioning it is irrelevant whether PHP runs as a module or as a CGI version.
- The Organizer uses MySQL as its database system, which is an Open Source Community product just like PHP and is offered by the most Web space providers.
- The script runs on Windows, Unix and Linux servers and works with all known browsers.
To Create an php environment you need to have Web Server:
following are the list of Web Servers:
- IIS
- Apache
- Zeus
Then you need to have PHP as platform.
PHP version compatibility:
- PHP 5 is highly recommended
- Gallery 2.4 (due in 2008) will require PHP 5.2 or later.
Database:
- DB2
- MSSQL
- MySQL
- Oracle
- PostgreSQL
For installation of PHP here is the solution.
- Create a directory for PHP on your computer. For the purposes of this article, I will assume that you created "c:\php".
- You don't need all the files provided in the archive, so unzip the PHP archive into a temporary location. For example, if you're using Windows 95/98/ME, one possible temporary place to extract the files is "c:\Windows\Temp". All the PHP files will be extracted into a folder of its own, with a name based on the version of PHP you downloaded. For example, if you downloaded php-4.2.3-Win32.zip and extracted it into "c:\Windows\Temp", there'll be a folder called "c:\Windows\Temp\php-4.2.3-Win32\" where the files can be found.
- Copy the following files into "c:\php": php.exe, php4ts.dll and php4apache.dll. You can find php4apache.dll in the "sapi" subdirectory (eg, "c:\Windows\Temp\php-4.2.3-Win32\sapi\" in our above example). php4apache.dll is for use with Apache 1.3.X. You will need to use php4apache2.dll if you're installing it for Apache 2.X. Note however that I have not tested the procedure on Apache 2.X, so you're on your own there. Furthermore, php.exe is not strictly needed if you don't ever want to run PHP as a CGI binary or from the command line. I keep it around for those situations where I want to run a PHP script from an MS-DOS prompt without having to fire up the Apache web server.
