Hi,

I have found a download which I think will be useful for my site but even with the instructions I am struggling because I really don't understand MySQL and how to use it, plus the instructions (I think) assume that the user knows more than I do. Could someone help by decyphering the instructions into an easier to follow wording please. Many thanks in advance, instructions below:

license:
this software (real-estate-management-software.org) is 100% free and may be used free of charge. you may not redistribute or sell this software for commercial profit.
installation:
-copy all files to your web host
-use phpmyadmin or your mysql interface to run admin/db.sql against your database.
-chmod 777 upload/ and upload/tmp/
-open site.xml and edit the database section with your database details.
-go to admin/ and login with username of admin with a password of test.
-be sure to change the passwords for the admin and regular user.

Setup the site.xml file with your database settings as follows.
<database type="mysql">
<server>database server address</server>
<login>database login</login>
<password>database password</password>
<default>mysql database name</default>
</database>

Add this to your htaccess file to prevent viewing of the xml config file.
<Files ~ ".xml"> Order allow,deny Deny from all Satisfy All</Files>

To display parts of a template only if contains a value:

if(('{WATER}' == '0') || ('{WATER}'=='NULL') ) { document.write("") }else { document.write('<tr><td class="left-tr">Water:</td> <tdclass="border-tr">Yes</td></tr>' )}; If you receive any "Notice: Undefined Index" errors. The work-around has been to set the auto-session option in PHP.INI to ON.
