PHP Message board 1.0 - Install 

System requirements
1.You must have PHP 3 or 4 installed and able to recognize the file extension php3 as a php file.
	a. if you do not have php installed to recognize the .php3 file extension you will need to rename
	   all of the files to end in .php or .phtml or what ever you have it set up to use. then
	   change all of the forms in the files to find the new extensions.
2.You must have MySQL installed or a MySQL compatible database.
	Note: i have not tested this with any other database but in theory it should work.	   
3.You must of course have some kind of web server.
4.All of the above must be working.

operating system -

unix/linux running - runs fine.
win32 (Apache/php/MySQL) - possible problem with the display of dates if you get your dates showing up like
	%05.%20.%2000 %17:18:18:%18 with % signs where they shouldn't be edit the files and remove the %
	in the date_format function remove only the %'s.  Note: this is due to a problem with older versions
	of MySQL running on win32 im not sure if it happens on the newer versions of win32 MySQL


Installing:

1.Extract the file into one dir.
2.Inport messageboard.sql into your database either by loading it or simply copy past.
3.Edit the message.inc file to include your database login, password and database name.
4.load msg_index.htm in a browser.


Possible problems

if you get a message something like Warning: 0 is not a MySQL result index in with a file name.  
Check message.inc and make sure that you have put in the correct user name,password and database to
connect to MySQL.
