Bt_ is a set of utility classes that are part of the PHPLint package. So, download PHPLint and put it somewhere, possibly *outside* of the document root of your web site because there are not real web pages there. Check README.htm for installation directions, in particular how to set the path of the actual php.ini into stdlib/error.php. The ACME sample web site is implemented by the dispatcher page index.php and the login.php page available under stdlib/com/acme/www/public_html/; these are the only real web page you must copy somewhere under your web site or, even simpler, create your own pages including them: login.php: <?php require_once __DIR__ . "/../../phplint/stdlib/com/acme/www/public_html/login..php"; index.php: <?php require_once __DIR__ . "/../../phplint/stdlib/com/acme/www/public_html/index..php"; Adjust the paths according to your directories layout. A sessions storage directory has also to be created and its path must be set in the dispatcher page. More details are here: http://www.icosaedro.it/phplint/web/bt_-tutorial.html#H6_Putting_all_together:_file_system_layout As a further example, the dispatcher page for the IWA web app available under stdlib/it/icosaedro/www/public_html/index.php is way more complicated due to the extra features (not bt_ related) I added to it. The license is a BSD-style one available under LICENSE.txt, which is GPL-compatible and allows to do pretty anything. Regards, ___ /_|_\ Umberto Salsi \/_\/ www.icosaedro.it
