phpVideoPro

The program allows you to add and change entries as needed - on your request, it utilizes the IMDB (Internet Movie DataBase) to retrieve information for this task. phpVideoPro can be configured to display your catalogue at will.

You can view your items in a list containing all of your entries or you can request the program to display a list of available free space on your homemade video tapes. You can view details of a specified entry, or display a list of all movies with a certain actor. Moreover, you can have phpVideoPro printing labels for your media - just to mention a few examples.

So you are able to keep track of what is what and what you're looking to add to your closet of treasures! The filter functions help to sort through your catalogue by creating subsets and finding special entries within your ever-growing collection, while the statistics page tells you how much it has already grown..
phpVideoPro is widely configurable.

Making use of templates in almost all places, it allows you to adjust its look and feel without any PHP knowledge (some HTML knowledge is needed for this, however), or to create your own label design.

You can even have phpVideoPro talking to you in your own language (if it not already does) by creating a special language file using the built-in translation editor (don't forget to send it to the author afterwards to have it included with future versions of phpVideoPro - and to be mentioned in the "Hall of Fame").

The program does distinguish between DVDs, VideoCDs and Videotapes - new media types can be added easily via the administration interface. While you may have enough tapes and DVDs to open up your own version of Blockbuster, phpVideoPro wasn't designed to cater to video shops.

This release wasn't build to log multiple copies of the same items. However, multiple simultan users are served together with their own preferences and permissions with the help of cookies and a built-in session management.

What is new in this release:

• Protected the users "admin", "guest", and "PUBLIC" against deletion (since they are essential for the system). Moreover, their logins cannot be changed.
• Reworked the "About" page, made it much shorter (all that content is already on the project site)
• Updated project page URL
• Backups can now be directly stored on the server - provided the web server process has write permission on the backup directory configured
• Users now can create their own movie backups and restore from them - of course only when the admin permits this
• Bunch of tiny fixes - a.o. again the renamed tables stuff (hope now we got them all!)
• Experimental support for SQLite added (BEWARE: not yet fully tested!)

Requirements:

• Database: MySQL (v3.28.32 or higher) or PostgreSQL (7.1 or higher)
• Webserver with support for PHP (tested only with Apache)
• PHP (v4.1 or higher) with support for the selected database
