</font><font color="#1f1f1f">Use any unzipping program to unpack the zip
file chastro.zip. Once unpacked you should have folder named "chineseastro."
All of the files needed to run the scripts are located in this folder or
sub-directories inside the chineseastro folder.</font><br>

look and feel of the pages.<br>
</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">Use any HTML
editor to alter the look of index.htm. To alter the basic look of
match.php3 and sign.php3 open them in a PHP editor or a program like
Notepad. You will notice there are number of variables at the top of
these pages. To change the look of these pages, set these variables to
the values you desire.</font></td>

<td><font face="Verdana" size="2"><b><font color="#000080">Step 5: Create
the Tables the scripts use.<br>
</font></b><font color="#000000">Because different PHP/MySQL setups
require slightly different methods of inserting data into a MySQL
database there are 3 SQL files: astro0.sql, astro1.sql and astro2.sql.
One of these should successfully populate the tables you need to make
for the scripts to run. <br>
<br>
</font>Create the tables needed for the script using the table structure
in any of the astro.sql files. <font color="#000080"><b><br>
<br>
</b></font><font color="#000000">To populate your tables, add the
inserts using one of the astro.sql files. Use astro0.sql if you do not
need to put a \ before apostrophes ( ' ) embedded in the text. Use
astro1.sql if you need to put a single \ before apostrophes ( ' )
embedded in the text. Use astro2.sql if you need to put double \\
before apostrophes ( ' ) embedded in the text. If you are not sure which
one to use and use a MySql Administrator script like the one recommended
below try astro1.sql first. </font><font color="#000080"><b><br>
<br>
</b></font><font color="#000000">While you can create and populate your
tables using telnet, we recommend you use a web based MySql
Administrator. There are a few out there but our favorite is phpMyAdmin.
phpMyAdmin is very powerful and will save you countless hours managing
your database. To pick this script up select <a href="http://www.phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/">this
