Instructions on storing birthday data

Birthday and remembrance data needs to be stored in a text file in this format:

 * Name: Test Person
  * Birthday: 09/Jul/1983
  * Deathday: 20/Dec/2002
 * Name: James
  * Birthday: 20/Jun/1992
 * Name: Test
  * Birthday: 25/Aug/1992
 * Name: Dad
  * Birthday: 17/Sep/1953
  * Deathday: 27/Jul/2001
 * Name: Mum
  * Birthday: 28/Apr/1954

But what if I want to add or edit someones birthday? This problem can be solved by keeping the birthday text file as a wiki page so I can edit it online and immediately see the updates in FothoFax. i.e. It's easy to make the birthday information dynamic as long as you have a wikiwiki on your website.

Installation notes:

  1. Download and unzip fothoFax_0_25.zip into a directory accessible to your webserver via a URL. Four files will be extracted (fothoFaxCode_0_25.php, fothoFax_0_2.css, overlib.js and AddressBook.txt). A directory called Images will also be extracted.
  2. Put the following code in a php file in the same directory where you want to show the calendar:
    <?php
    include('fothoFaxCode_0_25.php');
    drawCalendar(1,9);
    ?>
    
  3. Put the following between the <head> and </head> tags of the php file where you want to show the calendar:
    <link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="fothoFax_0_2.css">
    

  4. Open AddressBook.txt in a text editor and replace the dummy names with real ones keeping the same format. You may want to move or rename AddressBook.txt, in either case, change the variable called "$bdayFile" in FotherFaxCode.php to the new location.
  5. Optional: Change the variable called "$bdayFileEditURL" in FotherFaxCode.php to the location where the AddressBook.txt can be edited (e.g. a wikiwiki page) or set it as blank.
