id-php -- The Infernal Device, PHP version

The Infernal Device is a framework for writing web applications using
remotely stored session information.  The fundamental idea is to
structure the application as a state machine, where the states are
user-visible web forms and the transitions are implemented as objects
of a subclass of Transition.  The next transition object from a web
form are serialized and stored in the web form and are unserialized and
executed when the form is submitted.  Encryption is used to preserve the
confidientality and integrity of the serialized transitions.

The infernal device is implemented in the Machine.phpi module.

A simple example CGI program is included in the examples/ subdirectory.

This package also includes the Lame Template System, in the form of a
TemplateCache.phpi module.

REQUIREMENTS

This version of the infernal device is intended for use from PHP.

* PHP 4.3 or later (tested with 4.3.2).
* libmcrypt 2.4 or 2.5.  (Used with the PHP library functions.)

INSTALLATION

Generic and detailed instructions are in "INSTALL".  Basic
installation should look like:

 $ configure
 $ make
 $ make install

Configure takes a non-standard argument:

  --with-htmldir=DIR      Directory to install HTML (and related) files

The HTML directory is it installs the PHP modules and example
programs.
