Some question about ideas

Hey

Multiple language support:

I believe you already thought about support for international languages?
What do think about it? 

------------------

Upgrade Notification:
How about offering a message in the footer saying: There is a new version of phpLiteAdmin
1.9.5

This is easy done:
create here a js file with the content: var upgrade = '1.9.4';

that all, now we need to call the script in phpliteadmin.php and compare with VERSION

<script src="http://code.google.com/p/phpliteadmin/upgrade.js"></scrip>
<script>
if(upgrade > '<?php echo VERSION; ?>'){
document.getElementById("upgrade").innerHTML = "There is a new version of <a href='http://code.google.com/p/phpliteadmin'>phpLiteAdmin
" + upgrade + "</a>";
}
</script>

Mulilanguage: Yes, of course this seems to be a good idea. Here again we'll have to
think about how we handle this in respect to our single-file approach. We could of
course put all languages in the single file, but handling languages as additional optional
files would be a better way I'd say.

Update Notification: In general a good idea. But why implementing this as JS? Why not
using php?

like:
<?php
$version = file_get_contents("http://..../version.txt");
if($version>VERSION) echo "New version, download here...";
?>

Note: we need to be careful with > on version numbers: string "1.8.10" < "1.8.2" might
cause problems.

We could also easily add an auto-update feature. Something like this (not tested, only
to illustrate how it's done):
<?php

if(isset($_GET['update1']) {
// download the file to phpliteadmin_new.php
$new_file=file_get_contents($url_to_new_version);
file_put_contents("phpliteadmin_new.php",$new_file);
// redirect there
header("Location: phpliteadmin_new.php?update2");
}
if(isset($_GET['update2']) {
// delete the old version
unlink('phpliteadmin.php');
// copy the new version to phpliteadmin.php
copy('phpliteadmin_new.php','phpliteadmin.php');
// redirect there
header("Location: phpliteadmin_new.php?update3");
}
if(isset($_GET['update3])) {
// delete the temporary file (_new)
unlink('phpliteadmin_new.php');
}

?>

And on top of that, replace the configuration in the new file with the old one.
To do so we could have a comment in the new version like
// CONFIG_REPLACE_MARKER_FOR_AUTOUPDATES
It should be placed after the default settings.

And then in the first step of the update process, replace this marker with the current
settings like password and databases.

I think we should open 2 or 3 separate issues, as these are completely different things:
Multilanguage, Update notification, Autoupdate

file_get_contents does not work if allow_url_fopen is disabled (same in my case too)
I thought of JS cause its much easier and it works fine.

if you want to handle it with php then better use CURL.
Yah i offer also live update for Havalite CMS. if you need the CURL function, you can
find it in havalite/data/updater.php. There is also unzip function (just in case...).

ok i'll wait for the new issues
