Clicking the "Proceed" button you will access the tab of the POG application that enable you to inspect and edit the content of the database used by the Clipperz application. + +Once the application is successfully installed, it is probably a good idea to remove, disable or protect the whole "/php/setup/" folder, in order to avoid anyone from deleting random records from the database. Your data will not be leaked, but it would be possible to delete them anyway. + +At this point the database should be ready to run. + +The PHP code is quite simple, but there are a few dependency on external library that you may have to include, depending of the version of PHP you are using. + +- PDO: http://ca.php.net/pdo +- JSON: http://aurore.net/projects/php-json/ +- BCMath: http://it.php.net/bc + +The code has been compiled using PHP 5.1.6 +The POG class definitions have been configure for use with PHP 5.1+ + +For added convenience, we have added a page at /php/test.php that reports the detailed PHP configuration available on your computer.
