Installation Instructions

-1-	After downloading the zip file, extract all of the files and the image directory.

-2-	Upload all files to your server.

-3- 	The first order of business is logging into your domain's control panel and creating a database
	for the phpAffili8 to use.  It is also important to be sure that you add the user, which you
	will specify in the "config.php," to have access to this database.

-4-	Next, you must be sure to CHMOD your "images" directory to 777 so that phpAffili8 can upload
	to it.  NOTE: This step is only necessary if you plan to enable images.

-5-	Now you are ready to edit your configuration file.  Open "config.php" in a text editor, such as
	Notepad, and follow the instructions noted in the file.  

-6-	Once you have defined all of the applicable variables, you should access "create.php" via your
	web browser.  The script will then create a table based on whether or not your affiliates database
	will be image driven.  YOU MUST DELETE "CREATE.PHP" ONCE YOU HAVE EXECUTED IT!

-7-	Your tables are now created.  You should now go to "admin.php," type in your administration password
	(defined in your configuration file), and begin adding affiliates!


If you would like to include your affiliate database from another page, you may do so by simply typing:
	
	<?php include("index.php");?>

NOTE: For the above code to work, the page on which it is used must have a php extension or it will not work.

You can use your own header and footer by defining them in "config.php."  Or, you may simply delete these lines altogether.  You should not, however, remove the header and footer from any other file than "index.php" unless you know what you're doing.

Remember that phpAffili8 is linkware and that its use is encouraged and promoted by its creators as long
as you provide a link back to our website (http://affili8.posed.org/).

That's it.  Have fun, and enjoy! :)
