1. General Information
1.1 What is PHP?
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language using syntax similar to many programming languages.
1.2 Where can I find out more information about PHP?
Both general and specific information related to PHP can be found at
www.php.net.
1.3 How do I know if my web server supports PHP?
Contact your ISP, Web host or System Administrator and ask them if your web server is running PHP. If your server
is not running PHP, you can find installation instructions and download the necessary files at
www.php.net.
1.4 What is MySQL?
MySQL is an Open Source database server. Versions are available for both WIN32 and *nix platforms.
1.5 Where can I get a copy of MySQL?
Installation instructions and downloadable files are available for MySQL at
www.mysql.com.
1.6 Are there any plans to release other Open Source projects?
Yes. We have a few Open Source projects written already, but they continue to remain on the back shelf
until time can be found to make them "release" ready. Please do not email us and ask for the code
or release dates as responding to these emails will take time away from already busy schedules.
2. Proverbs Web Calendar
2.1 What are the requirements for using the Proverbs Web Calendar?
Use of the calendar requires a web server running PHP4 and MySQL 3.23.x.
2.2 Is there a demo available of the Proverbs Web Calendar?
A demo of the calendar may be viewed by clicking
here(a new window will open). The demonstration version of the calendar has some features
removed or disabled for security reasons.
2.3 How do I configure the Proverbs Web Calendar?
Configuration instructions are included in the "readme.txt" file included with the download.
Certain configuration variables contained within the scripts also include comment lines that provide
further instructions.
2.4 How do I create the initial database tables?
The file "create.php", which is included in the download, will create the calendar database tables for
you, as well as an initial user account. Further instructions can be found in the file "readme.txt" included in
the download. The download also contains the MySQL table dump "caltables.sql" for manual table creation.
2.5 I installed the calendar, but the user account does not work. How do
I log into the admin tool?
Upon running the "create.php" web page from your server, the initial administrator account should
be created, as well as the calendar database tables needed. If this account does not work correctly, you
should verify that all the calendar database tables have been created correctly within your MySQL database,
as well as the account having been created in the "calendarusers" table.
One thing we have noticed causes the majority of problems with initial setup is the lack of creation of a
database to contain the calendar in MySQL. The default database name used for this script is "calendar",
although this value can be changed within the "config.inc.php" file. If this database has not been manually
created on the MySQL server, the calendar will appear to run normally on most servers, however, it will never actually
be linked to a database and no events can be entered. Another common problem is the cache settings on many
web browsers that prevent a new copy of the same web page from being sent back to your computer at login.
2.6 Does version the Proverbs Web Calendar use global form variables?
Version 2.0 (and above) of the Proverbs Web Calendar no longer uses global form variables. Versions prior to
version 2.0 require global form variables to be turned on in the "PHP.ini" file in order to function correctly.
2.7 Is version 2.0 compatible with database tables from prior calendar versions?
The Proverbs Web Calendar Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the web calendar and is not an upgrade; because
of this, the database tables are not compatible between version 2.0 (and above) of the Proverbs Web Calendar and prior releases.
2.8 Can I make changes to the Proverbs Web Calendar?
Absolutely. The only changes or modifications not allowed are the alteration or removal of the copyright
notifications placed inside the code and visible link displayed at the bottom of the "calendar.php"
web page.
2.9 Can I use the Proverbs Web Calendar on a commercial website?
Yes, provided that all copyright information remains intact, both internally in the code and the displayed
link and notification at the bottom of the "calendar.php" web page.
2.10 I'm a web developer and I want to use the calendar on a site I am
creating. Can I remove the copyright information from the Proverbs Web Calendar?
Simply put, No. There was a lot of work put into the creation and updating of the Proverbs Web Calendar
and because of this we would like credit for our work.
2.11 What happened to the Developers Edition of the Proverbs Web Calendar?
In order to devote time to other projects, we have stopped sales of all our products until further notice.
