PHPMyEdit V3.5
--------------

This program is developed and tested using PHP 4.0.1pl2 and MySQL 3.23.22-beta
under RedHat Linux 7.0.

Full documentation for using this program can be found on the PHPMyEdit web site,
http://PHPMyEdit.sourceforge.net. If you are impatient:

Extract PHPMyEdit.inc and Setup.php and copy/ftp/whatever them to your development 
web site. Run setup.php to log on to your MySQL server, and select a database and 
table. Setup.php will display a php 'calling program' in your web browser. Copy it 
into your php editor, save it to a file, and then run it in the same directory that 
you used for PHPMyEdit.php. The 'calling program' is pretty heavily commented... 
if there's anything you don't understand, look on the PHPMyEdit web site!

Usage notes

+-+-+-+
phpMyEdit uses htmlentities() extensively. However, there is a bug in PHP which
means that this function currently only escapes the ISO-8859-1 (or ISO-latin-1) 
charset. If you need to handle other character sets, a simple workaround is to use 
htmlspecialchars() instead of htmlentities(). However, specialchars is not as robust
as entities, so PHPMyEdit will persevere with entities in the hope it will be
fixed in a future release of PHP!
 
I'm happy to accept bug reports, suggestions for improvement, or improved code, 
preferably via SourceForge where everyone can see them, but failing that via email. 
However, please note that I am no longer actively developing PHPMyEdit, so I'm
not giving any guarantees about replying.

Many thanks to the SourceForge crew for providing these facilities and to all
those who have contributed code (see changes.txt for credits). Special thanks to
Pau Aliagas (pau@newtral.com) who converted PHPMyEdit to PHP classes in version 3.0.
