GM Online Registration Files

GM Online Registration System version 1.2.1  Nov 17, 2015

The separate files listed here are included in the zip file.
The separate files are provided so you can read about the system
without downloading the zip file.

This is an online registration system for various events.
It is distributed as open source freeware under the 
Open Software License v. 3.0.

It uses PayPal to collect the money, so requires a 
PayPal seller account linked to a bank account.

It can be installed in any existing web site that supports
PHP and MySQL databases.

You edit one configuration file,
then click one button to create the database,
then click another button to create the registration page.

The generated registration page is fully functional,
but not very pretty. It is assumed you will want to 
re-format it and change the text.
