Requirements.

PMR uses php scripting language and mySQL database as a backend. This makes PMR a multi-platform web application. It can run on unix or windows servers, the main requirements to install PMR are:

• FTP access - ftp access is needed to upload the script to your host via ftp protocol, sure you can unzip the script into the folder directly on your server if you have ssh access or have direct access to the console. You can use any ftp client you like, there are several things you need to know while installing the script, you can find these in the Installation part of the User's Guide;
• PHP - php scripting language, version 4.3 or newer. Sure it will run on older versions, but to be sure about the security and stability of your application we recommend the latest version of php to be installed (please note that development versions of php may have some serious bugs, please, do not use those for production servers);
• mySQL - mySQL database server and php module to support mySQL installed and configured on your host;
• GD2 - GD2 graphic library to be compiled into your php installation, if you don't have it ask your hosting provider, this is the most common module installed for php;
• mod_rewrite - mod_rewrite is an Apache module which is useful for rewriting URLs, something like changing .php extension to .html for better SEO. This module is optional, the script can operate well without this.
• IonCube Loader - Required. We use IonCube encoder to encode some of the code. Most of the script is open, but some files are encoded. Please note that you will not need to edit these scripts while doing the modifications to your script. But, if required, we can open parts of those scripts.
