PHPauction Web Hosting

PHPauction as the name suggests is a professional auction software package which offers a complete suite of applications and services for building auction web sites. Phpauction has been started by Gianluca Baldo as a personal project in the year 1997. The first version of Phpauction was written in PHP/FI language (also called PHP2) and was using miniSQL as database back end. It was in October 1999 that the script was migrated to PHP3 and the database engine changed to MySQL. In 2006, Phpauction launched 6 different dynamic transaction engine choices including classifieds, trading, plus modules and specific packs.

This software is completely free to use, modify and distribute and it is available under the GPL license. c
All Phpauction packages have been successfully tested under different Unix/Linux environment. Windows operating systems are not supported. Phpauction also requires the ability to set up cron jobs (under *nix systems). This in effect is required in order to run the script (cron.php) responsible for checking expired auctions, updating the database accordingly, and sending notification e-mails to sellers and buyers. For windows users there’s the possibility to run cron.php using the auctionupdate.c utility in the cron directory. The README file explains its usage.
