PHP BookIn is an internet-based bookmark organizer that facilitates storage and management of bookmarks.
PHP BookIn is an online bookmark manager that allows you to manage and share your bookmarks across the web. This application is built on PHP with a lot of javascript, and all data is stored on a MySQL database. The favicons are also stored on the server filesystem.
To use PHP BookIn, you need to have the following requirements: php4 and pear:DB, MySQL, Imagemagick, Scriptaculous 1.6.2, JSCookTree 2.01, and template.inc.php from the old PHPLib.
To install PHP BookIn, simply untar it on a directory inside your website, create an "icons" directory with read/write access for the server, copy the bookin.conf.sample to bookin.conf, then adapt the bookin.conf file and protect it with a .htaccess (on my system, the .conf is not in the DocumentRoot), adapt the utils.php file, create a database, adapt and use tables.sql file to create tables, create a user in database, table "bkn_user" (ex: "INSERT INTO bkn_user (login, password, lang) VALUES ('myname', 'mypass', 'EN') ;"). The password is in clear (I have to change that in future), change the path in ThemeXP/theme.js (line 2) according to your configuration, and use the "checkp.php" script to see if everything is OK.
The latest release of PHP BookIn has some new features such as a description field added in the link information, a new statistics page, and a publish process that now allows you to give your friends access to some of your links.
Overall, PHP BookIn is a great tool for managing and sharing bookmarks with others on the Internet. The installation process may be a bit challenging, but once installed, it is an easy-to-use application that is guaranteed to make your bookmark management a breeze.
