Hi Brian, I welcome your decision to rewrite the installer. It definitely has some issues and it would be better to have one developed especially for Care2x.
I did a try of your code. It works OK with PHP 5. I like the structure of the installation steps. While you are thinking about the design can you consider upgrade options? For example, if the user has an already installed Care2x 2.2, he would want to upgrade to Care2x 2.3 than making new installation. I also tried the installer with PHP 4. Unfortunately, it does not work due to an error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() in /var/www/care2x-php5/setup/_main.php on line 214 Greetings Kaloyan On Tue, 2006-10-03 at 22:08 -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > The installer that we are using from MirrorMed is very terse, and not closely > coupled with the Care2x project.
