A new application has been added to the list of Add-On software supplied by Boinc particpants. Under the category Web Application you'll find BoincPHP-Gui. It is very similar to Boinc Manager that comes with the core client except that this one runs in a web browser.

BoincPHP was originally written by Sebastian Masch. Sebastian is the author of BoincView. You could find BoincPHP on his BoincView web site if you lookedhard enough. He did not support it nor plan any enhancements to it, but simply offered it up as is. I tried it and it liked it. I also enhanced it somewhat and sent my enhanced version back to him. With his permission, I am now offering the enhanced version to the Boinc community and will offer new versions as I enhance and change it further.

I've supplied information on what it does, how to use it, how to install it and how to secure it in addition to the application itself. The README file explains the various displays and how to use them. You will need to install it on a web server for it to work. The web server must support PHP.

If you decide to try it, please read the SECURITY file.

An email address for feedback is supplied in the README file.

The software can be found on the Boinc Download Network at http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=mirror_file_list or through the AddOn page for this project at http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/download_network.php
