Installation notes (replace PHP3 with PHP if you're using PHP4) : + PHP must be configured to have magic_quotes_gpc=on and magic_quotes_runtime=off. In the module version of PHP3 this can also be set on a per-directory base with php3_magic_quotes_gpc on in an .htaccess file or in your Apache's access.conf. + If you have the module version of PHP3, your .htaccess could look like this: php3_magic_quotes_runtime off php3_magic_quotes_gpc on + Keep in mind that in the current version you have to include the files "config.inc.php", "view.inc.php" and "acl.inc.php" on every page you want to have a banner.
