First off, thanks for the handy app. I was planning on making a similar program for myself, but I'm not a strong programmer so it would have taken quite a while.
Overall the app works very well, and I like the features that you included. However I have found some bugs and have some improvements that I am trying to implement.
Add to group in Add page
Groups are a big deal, and I think you should be able to assign a contact to a group at the time of creation.
Debug [none] group
Selecting None, a very useful feature, produces MySQL errors. It seems that this functionality wasn't actually coded, am I wrong?
Debug double displays
In several instances I have noticed records being returned in duplicate. When I had only one record it typically showed that record twice, and exported that record twice as well.
In birthdays(another useful feature) it shows each record twice as well.
Debug Birthdays
This may be a problem with the data, but next birthdays returns many records, without birthday entries. The one that has a birthday set is not displayed usefully:
January 2008
Doe John
Add Delete button on List page
It would be useful to batch delete from the list page(espec. after importing a set of data)
Debug .csv
You had the csv exporting with semicolons as seperators, in order to allow commas to separate the address field, probably for a custom implementation. It didn't produce csv compatible with excel or other apps however, so I changed it to be comma separated, and preserving the line breaks in address (for printing).
Finally, I have some data issues that are on my wishlist:
- add notes field
- split up address field
- add company field
Thanks again for the great work. If your interested in addressing anything above, I would be eager to chip in, meager as my coding skills are.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I wish I could use your software, but I'm runing Debian stretch where only PHP7 is available in the repositories. I wonder if there are any plans to make php-addressbook working with PHP7. I'm not really a programmer, more like an "advanced user", yet I would be happy to help.
Cheers
