phpDiveLog For Linux

phpDiveLog is an open source and OS-independent web-based software implemented in PHP andd designed from the ground up to be used by people who want to view detailed information gathered from an Aqua DiveLog LogBook.

The application uses the CSV files generated with the Java Conduit tool that is shipped along with the Aqua DiveLog application, which is only available for Palm OS based PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants).

phpDiveLog outputs dynamic web pages that are lucidly and nicely formatted. It lets users to add pictures or any other external data sources to the Aqua DiveLog data. With the PDF export function you will be able to maintain a printed logbook.

While phpDiveLog is a web-based application, it must be installed on GNU/Linux distributions using the standard GNU make builder. You can’t just simply drop the files to an web server and install the software via a web browser.

After downloading the latest release of the application on your personal computer, unpack the archive, open a Terminal app, navigate to the location where you’ve extracted the archive file (e.g. cd /home/softpedia/phpdivelog-0.4.6) and run the ‘sudo make install’ command.

We strongly recommend reading the install.txt file from the ‘install’ folder to learn how to install phpDiveLog in a custom directory, as well as how to uninstall it or configure various internal components.

Being a web app, phpDiveLog requires a web server that supports PHP, such as Apache. Runtime dependencies include PHP 5.2 or later (as a loadable module for Apache). Optional requirements include ​TCPDF (PHP PDF API) for PDF support with PDL 0.3.5 or higher, as well as the php5-curl module for language negotiated help pages.
