Introduction |
| 6 |
============ |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I have tried to make the phpHtmlLib fairly easy to install |
| 9 |
and to use on anyone's current running site. There are a few assumptions |
| 10 |
I've made, but it shouldn't be a problem for 99% of the folks out there. I |
| 11 |
haven't tested the libs in a windows environment, as I don't have a M$ O.S. |
| 12 |
installed anywhere in my house. If you encounter any issues, please let me |
| 13 |
know. I welcome any and all feedback. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Thanks and enjoy, |

Installing the libs |
| 22 |
================================================ |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
1. Overview for the impatient |
| 25 |
-------------------------- |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
$ mv phphtmllib <your webdir DOCUMENT_ROOT> |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
NOTE: in your script, set a global variable $phphtmllib to the |
| 30 |
location of your phphtml install. If you installed it into |
| 31 |
your DOCUMENT_ROOT, you would do |
| 32 |
<?php |
| 33 |
$phphtmllib = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/phphtmllib"; |
| 34 |
include_once("$phphtmllib/includes.inc"); |
| 35 |
?> |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
2. Requirements |
| 38 |
------------ |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
The following requirements exist for using phpHtmlLib : |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
o PHP version 4.2.x |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Optional |
| 45 |
o One of phpHtmlLib's DataListSource Classes can work with |
| 46 |
PEAR and/or ADODB DB abstraction layer classes. PEAR should |
| 47 |
already be installed if you have a proper PHP install. You |
| 48 |
can get ADODB (much better IMHO) from |
| 49 |
http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
3. Installing |
| 53 |
---------- |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
1. Copy the entire phphtmllib directory into your website's source |
| 56 |
tree. I typically install it in DOCUMENT_ROOT/phphtmllib. |
| 57 |
You don't have to have it installed in the document root, but that is |
| 58 |
where I normally install it. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
2. In each script that uses the libs, you MUST set a global variable |
| 61 |
$phphtmllib to the path of your phphtmllib dir in your web tree. |
| 62 |
So, if you installed phphtmllib in your DOCUMENT_ROOT, like I do, |
| 63 |
then you set $phphtmllib = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/phphtmllib" |
| 64 |
I usually do this at the top of my scripts, or have a include file |
| 65 |
of defines and such that sets this. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
After that you should be able to include the main includes file |
| 68 |
include_once("$phphtmllib/includes.inc"); to include all of the files |
| 69 |
in the lib, or you can include each file that you need individually |
| 70 |
to save include processing. |
| 71 |
3. Optionally, review the SECURITY file if you are installing |
| 72 |
phphtmllib into a production environment. |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
