New release soon!

I will be releasing a new beta now that I am back from my active duty orders which should address some of the installation bug regarding the menu and user accounts as well as some additional features regarding usage of group account permissions per subnet and static hosts.

Support

It seems I am getting a few people downloading this application but I do not see very much feedback regarding this application in terms of support.

I will be out for the next four months due to active duty orders with the US Army National Guard but when I get back I will build a nice installer feature to setup the database due to this being the hardest portion and not quite as easy to do.

phpDHCPAdmin-0.9.1-beta

Well I am about ready to release the 0.9.1-beta candidate and would like you all to know what features this release will entail.

To eliminate this problem I am working on integrating a feature to process a list of available interfaces the ISC DHCPD service is can currently listen on as well as process vital information regarding total traffic vs. traffic allocated to DHCPD ACK, REQ, packets etc.... read more

Notes on phpDHCPAdmin-0.9-beta

I have seen a bit of activity regarding this version.

I have NOT seen anyone requiring assistance with setup, usage, or configuration of this package.

If anyone needs assistance with this package please do not hesitate to post questions to the forums etc.

Also on another note I have found a few features to be lacking, as well as some functionality.

I am currently finishing up some new features in the areas of managing accounts etc. If you know of a feature you would like to see in the next release please let me know.

Call for documentation?

Hello, I am posting this to see if I cannot recruit some help putting together documentation for this project.

I have been so busy coding that it would be nice to have someone familiar with the application build/edit the existing help file that accompanies this project.

Thanks.

New phpDHCPAdmin Coming Soon!!!

I am currently working on a new version of phpDHCPAdmin. Over the last couple of years I have seen some usage of this application but initially it was designed to only allow or utilize configuration options necessary for it to be beneficial to my current employers network.

This new version will not only conform to the RFC2132. Some of the features are listed below:
- User/Group/Access level authentication for stricter restrictions to subnet/host editing
- Stricter filtering to assist with common attack vectors such as XSS/SQL attacks
- Standard Global DHCPD configuration options
- PXE/BOOTP Group Configuration options
- DNS zone transfer/update functionality
- DNSSEC configuration options for zone transfers
- Multiple subnet support
- Support for scopes and static host leasing
- Import of static hosts via CSV/XML files
- Import of dhcpd.conf (parse and store appropriately in database tables)
- Auto backup feature and ability to manage said backups
- Access logging
- Comprehensive help system with indexed areas linking to each configuration option within application
- I also plan on creating an installation portion to assist in the setup of the application and database tables.

phpDHCPAdmin Demo

I must apologize for the online demo, since I have moved the demo application to sourceforge (a shared hosting server) I have found some bugs dealing with session management and have yet to resolve them. I do believe it is dealing with permissions and the php.ini configuration settings. So again my apologies.

phpDHCPAdmin-RC3

I have updated the phpDHCPAdmin application to resolve a couple of small problems, updated the help system as well as setup a demo for people to try out this package with. For support I have used the SF.net forums so please post any problems there.
