LiteMail PHP Installation Instructions

Recommended requirements:
PHP 4.0+
MySQL 
Linux OS

Description:
LiteMail PHP is a single script program designed to give you the full functionality of many of the larger more expensive bulk mailers.
Installation is simple and quick. Follwing the instructions below should have you up and running in a very short amount of time.

LiteMail allows you to gather user email addresses via an html form to store into your MySQL database. You can also add or remove email adddresses
from the database via the admin area. Once you have your email addresses, LiteMail will allow you to blast text emails to your email database.
This is done via batches with a set delay to keep the process from timing out, as well as to not kill the server. Blast size, and delay can be set
in the code but it is not recommended they be changed unless you know what you are doing

Installation instructions:
1. Upload the package to your server. 
2. Open the config.php file.
3. Edit the variables at the top of the file. These consist of the username and password of the admin, as well as the database variables for the
mysql database that you will create. IT IS NOT recommended that you edit the $batch or $delay variable. This can cause your script to time out 
or it can cause your server to overload.
4. Once the variables have been configured, create a mysql database on your server. Make sure to name the database whatever you entered for the 
$db_name variable in the script. 
5. After you have created the database, you must create the table structure. The sql to create the structure is:

-------- Cut Below this line--------
CREATE TABLE `email` (
  `emailId` int(5) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `emailAddress` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`emailId`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=123 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=123 ;

CREATE TABLE `message` (
  `id` int(5) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `blast_from` varchar(75) NOT NULL default '',
  `blast_email` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `blast_subject` varchar(150) NOT NULL default '',
  `blast_message` text NOT NULL,
  `opt_out` int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=74 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=74 ;
--------End Cut above this line--------

This SQL code can also be found in the comments of litemail.php. Use this SQL statement to create the tables in your new database for Lite Mail PHP.

6. After the script has been configured change its permissions to 755 (chmod 755 litemail.php).
7. Open the file signup_form.html. Replace the text "LiteMailPHP SCRIPT URL GOES HERE" with the http url to your litemail.php script. This form
will be used to allow users to sign up for your email newsletter/database. You can cut and paste the form code to your existing pages freely. Just
make sure that the form code stays intact.
8. Your default username and password are admin and admin. It is recommended that you change this in the script variables for security reasons.
9. Once you have everything above setup, you can log into the script by going to http://yourserver.com/litemail.php or where ever the script is 
located. Use your username and password to login.
10. Enjoy using LiteMail PHP!
