====== INTRODUCTION ======
==========================
Thanks to download GContact.
An application to manage your adress book, including multiples adresses/contacts by person.
The name GContact comes from GMail, because I like this application and It's a source of inspiration for GContact.
Also, another reason is because my name (Grégory).

==========================
====== INSTALLATION ======
==========================
If you update an existing application, see release notes first...

[REQUIREMENTS]
- A web server (Apache, IIS, etc)
- PHP 4/5 with XML DOM extension (don't forget to configure SMTP in php.ini to support email notifications)
- PEAR (install extensions stuff/pear/OLE-0.5.tgz then stuff/pear/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-0.9.0.tgz)
- MySQL

[STEPS TO INSTALL GCONTACT]
1. Copy sources in a web folder called GContact (or anything else)
2. create a database in MySQL and for security reasons, I suggest your to create an MySQL user with all privileges for this database
3. run stuff/contact.sql script in MySQL to create tables
4. update database informations in inc/properties.inc.php
5. go to http://localhost/GContact/admin/createUser.php
6. use 'root' and 'GC0NT4CT' to log in
7. fill form to create an user (note : password are hashed in database using MD5)
7. login at http://localhost/GContact
 >> For dailies email notification
8. configure a timer (like cron under Linux or a scheduled task under Windows) to launch the PHP script actions/notifyBirthdays.php every day

Repeat step 5 to 6 to create others users.
Security note : 	To improve security, you have to change the default admin login and password in inc\properties.inc.php (ADMIN_USERNAME & ADMIN_PASSWORD)

[STEPS TO UPDATE GCONTACT]
1. Backup inc\properties.inc.php file
2. Copy all sources
3. Type your old properties.inc.php settings into the new one
4. if necessary, apply SQL patch(es) in descending order - see stuff\patch_*.sql
