• Added version checker - Checks current version to the current one specified on the server.
• Modified Date Choser - The date is now selected from a dropdown menu as opposed to being typed in.
• Date Format Modified - The displayed data formats now use the phpVMS DATE_FORMAT variable and the times are now saved as a unix timestamp as opposed to a date string.
• Direct Method Access Prohibited - Added checks to stop load loading of page if the form was not submitted.
• Moved Emailing functions to a separate method in the class
