  20 <h2>Setup Requirements</h2>
  21 <p>This code is designed for PHP 5.0 and MySQL 4.1. I'm not supporting anything earlier than these.</p>
  22 <p>If you want to cling on to obsolete technology then you can go fuck yourself in the arse with a shovel.</p>
  23
  24 <h2>php.ini settings</h2>
  25 <p>The following need to be set in <code>php.ini</code> for the boards to function:</p>
  26 <ul>
  27         <li><code>arg_separator.input = ";"</code></li>
  28         <li><code>arg_separator.output = ";"</code></li>
  29         <li><code>magic_quotes_* = 0</code></li>
  30         <li><code>register_globals = 0</code></li>
  31 </ul>
  32
  33 <h2>Setup</h2>
  34 <ol>
  35         <li>You have two cows.</li>
  36         <li>Get the SQL file from somewhere and create a MySQL database using it.</li>
  37         <li>Go to <code>include/sqlconn.php</code> and put in the actual database information you'll be using.</li>
  38         <li>You might want to put something in <code>encryption.inc.php</code>.</li>
  39         <li>Create your user account using the <a href="../register.php">register.php</a> page. Set your userlevel to 60.</li>
  40         <li>Go to the moderator resources page and use the editor pages to do stuff. Or use phpMyAdmin.</li>
  41         <li>Put any premade theme CSS files in <code>csslib/system/</code>.
  42         Symlink the default one to <code>csslib/system/default.css</code>.
  43         If you don't know what a symlink is then just give up now.</li>
