- phpMyAdmin - Developer's Information
-
- phpMyAdmin is Open Source, so you're invited to contribute to it.
- Many great features have been written by other people and you too
- can help to make phpMyAdmin a useful tool.
-
- If you're planning to contribute source, please read the following
- information:
-
- + All files include header.inc.php3 (layout), lib.inc.php3 (common functions)
- and config.inc.php3. All configuration data belongs in config.inc.php3.
- Please keep it free from other code.
- Commonly used functions should be added to lib.inc.php3.
- + Obviously, you're free to use whatever coding style you want. But please
- try to keep your code as simple as possible: beginners are using phpMyAdmin
- as an example application.
- + Please try to keep up the file-naming conventions. Table-related stuff
- goes to tbl_*.php3, db-related code to db_*.php3 and so on.
- + Please don't use verbose strings in your code, instead add the string
- (at least) to english.inc.php3 and print() it out.
- + If you want to be really helpful, write an entry for the ChangeLog.
-
- IMPORTANT:
- With 1.4.1, development has switched to CVS.
- The following method is preferred for new developers:
- - fetch the current CVS tree over anonymous CVS:
- cvs -d :pserver:anon@www.htmlwizard.net:/usr/local/cvsroot login
- [Password: phpMyAdmin]
- cvs -d :pserver:anon@www.htmlwizard.net:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout phpMyAdmin
- [This will create a new sub-directory named phpMyAdmin]
- - add your stuff
- - send me the file you've modified, or send me a diff.
- I've also set up CVSWEB on http://www.htmlwizard.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.
- Write access to the CVS tree is granted only to developers who have already
- contributed something useful to phpMyAdmin. If you're interested in that,
- please contact me.
