simplog

simplog is a simple PHP blog engine. It's supposed to either be implemented into an existing webpage (simplog.php) since this in only the engine part or being run as is with the included index.php which is a simple webpage easy to customize.

Usage

simplog.php is intended to be included (with php include) on your webpage, therefore simplog.php doesn't include any HTML start/end tags or anything like that. That's for your webpage to handle, simplog is made as clean as possible for this reason. The includes and user directory also needs to be on your server in the same directory, they include important files. In the user directory you can create new posts and edit existing ones. To edit a post click on Edit post (in /user) and fill in the date and title of the post you want to edit. Hit Find post to find the post or posts matching. Now you can edit the post.

From 2014-06-26 there is a index.php file included with a simple yet fancy webpage one can use for everyday blogging. It's simple to customize since all of the design, colors etc resides in a single CSS file.

How do I create the MySQL table?

Either create a new mysql user and database or use an existing one, then:

Go to http://mydomain.tld/path-to-simplog/install.php

On this page you enter a password for the admin user. The admin user is unique in the MySQL table so once you've entered a password for the user you cannot run it again. But to really be on the safe side you should remove install.php after you have entered a password for admin. Once you have entered your desired password you have created the table for the blog and can start filling it with blog posts.
