Leaps and bounds in this version in terms of fixing things, i have added more fields in the forms as requested, updated the MySQL a bit, changed the log-in system to be encrypted in the database.

Installation:

The installation script can be found here “/setup/index.php”

Before getting started, we need some information on the database. You will need to know the following items before proceeding.

• Database name
• Database username
• Database password
• Database host
• Register Globals Turned On
• Register a Google Maps API

If for any reason the automatic file creation doesn’t work, don’t worry. All this does is fill in the database information to a configuration file. You may also simply open config-sample.php in a text editor, fill in your information, and save it as config.php.

In all likelihood, these items were supplied to you by your ISP or host. If you do not have this information, then you will need to contact them before you can continue. If you’re all ready, let’s go!

You should enter your database connection details. If you’re not sure about these, contact your host.

• Database Name:The name of the database you want to run your script in.
• User Name: Your MySQL username.
• Password: Your MySQL password.
• Database Host: Most Likely won’t need to change this value.

Next is your login and preferences.

• Username
• Password
• Your Email
• Page Size (how many contacts per page)

First things first, go to the setup directory and enter your database Connection details as well as your personal information. Follow the directions and if all goes well your config.php file will be created and your MySQL will have been imported with your username and password saved to the Database.

If you don’t want to use the instillation script then you may make your changes in the config-sample.php file saving the changes as config.php and under the setup directory you will find the MySQL script you can import using PHPmyAdmin.

Create a folder on your web server called profiles and backup in your FTP application change the folder CHMOD to “777″

   Hi, I love your address book! Is there a way to create a guest account so visitors can view only the contact info without logging in? Thanks.

   I’d love to use this script, but sadly and unfortunatelly I can’t as it won’t save any contacts I add, it just clears the “add” page (doesn’t show the “data saved” text it does on the demo site) and no data will be added.

   I am running php5 and register globals is off on my webserver. I really hope that future versions will run with php5 and register globals turned off as this is the first web based address book that would have met my needs.

   thanks a lot for sharing this nice piece of software with us though

   Vanessa - the upgrade would not effect your data, it would be nice and safe.

   Hey Adam,

   Thanks very much, I look forward to the next version of Address Book. With the newer version, would it be an upgrade to this one, or would I have to re-install the entire app? Just curious as with all of the contacts I’m putting into the address book, I wouldn’t want to have to re-input them.

   Thanks so much for doing this, it is incredibly helpful!

   You might not have PHP 5 installed on your web server, or I also herd Google was having some issues yesterday. Try it again and let me know if it works.

   The next version of the Addressbook will be made compliant with PHP 6 and will probably fix some of the errors people have with registerglobals, i will also try to add multiple user accounts as well as a way to import data.

   Fixed It again, I just deleted the google api portion from the add.php page.

   Sorry for my back-and-forthness. I’m a bit impatient tonight. Thanks for all of your support, this is a great tool!

   I look forward to the import, and multiple user features in the future. Thanks so much for creating this

   Hey Adam,

   Thanks for your quick reply. It looks like I got everything working, except when I went to add a contact, I get this error message:

   Add Information:

   Do you know what it means?

   Rob - Still no multiple user, still to tied up with work and haven’t had any free time to play with the script.
