一个用php+mysql做的图书馆管理系统

Installation:


MySQL Database:

	First, you need to create a MySQL database.  This could be 
	used in an existing MySQL database if none of the database
	objects collide.  For instructions on creating databases
	in MySQL, I would refer you to their documentation.  You will
	also need a single user. 

	The script (create.sql) will create all the tables and initial
	data for subjects and item types.  It will also create a single
	admin account with a user name of admin and a password of nimda.

	Feel free to modify the admin account password before you run 
	create.sql as there is no way within the system to modify this.
	The password is stored as clear text.  
	
PHP Application:

	The only file that you have to modify is config.inc.  The parameters
	you need to define are:

		dbhost -> this is the name of the machine running MySQL
		dbuname -> this is the MySQL username
		dbpass -> this is the MySQL password
		dbname -> this is the MySQL database name
		deftitle -> this is the title used on the screens
	
	All of the other files should be placed in a single sub-directory of
	your website.
	
Notes on Usage:
	
	To create new entries, confirm check outs / check ins, etc, you need
	to login as an admin.  This is done by going to:
	
		./admin.php
	
	You'll then use the admin/nimda to login.  You can now create items, etc.
	There's no way to create new admin accounts or change the password
	within the system.  You can do that by playing with the tbl_login and
	tbl_person tables directly in MySQL.
	
	Users will login by simply going to the default page.  This was originally
	developed for an intranet where security was not an issue and the contents
	of the library were open to everyone.  So, there is no password for users
	and anyone can create a new account by simply typing in a unique username.
	There's a little bit of info that users enter to identify themselves.
