My name is Mark and I am the sole developer of Phoenix. I am new to PHP and this is my first attempt at a full PHP script.
I decided to build this script because I needed to make a script for a project of mine that allowed users to register for an account and then login to a members area.
Since the initial release I have build on the foundation of the registration and login functions and Phoenix now has;
- Ability to allow visitors to register.
- Ability to login/logout using sessions.
- Dedicated section for members.
- Ability to change email address and passwords once logged in.
- Dedicated section for Admin members
- Ability to edit users from the admin backend.
- Ability to add pages and edit pages from the admin backend.
- Ability to update site config from the admin backend.
- Works with .htaccess & mod_rewrite to provide SEF urls. (domain.com/category/page_name/)
Phoenix CMS is also template based so that it is easy to update the look and feel of the script without having to worry about deleting important functions/code.
Currently the Phoenix script runs on PHP & MYSQL and has only been tested locally on a development server and 1 live server running PHP 5.4 & MYSQL 5.5, the script may contain errors and may have security holes, you are advised to fully test this script before using it in a productive environment. The script has also only been tested in the Chrome browser.
- Open /inc/db.inc.php and edit to match your database.
- Open /install.php and edit to match your details.
- Run /install.php in your web browser.
- Edit .htaccess to match the path to your index.php file.
