PHP BookIn is an internet-based bookmark organizer that facilitates storage and management of bookmarks.
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.
