V. CHANGING SOURCE CODE

If you want to change source code, it's recommended to use multiple files version. After changing you can integrate new source in single PHP file using command line PHP script named single_file_generator. Syntax:

    php single_file_generator <gen_file> <source_dir>
  • gen_file - Generated PHP file (default: wnc.php)
  • source_dir - Path to source directory (default: source)

Configuration templates files .ini.php in "source" folder are copied in the <gen_file> directory if they do not already exists.

Becouse of comressing HTML, CSS & JavaScript sources, strict JavaScript syntax is required (; at the end of command rows).

VI. SECURITY NOTES

If your Apache server supports SSL browsing, it's recommended to open wnc.php with https:// instead of http:// at the beginning of the URL address.
