Revision 0.91 June 2001 5
2 PHP3 and the Video Server
Axis has removed some functions from the standard PHP3, and created some
additional functions to suit our products. The name of Axis´ modified version of
PHP3 is called PHP3-Lite. The functions among others, that are removed are those
that handle:
! Database functions
! PDF functions
! Mathematic functions
Axis recommends checking that PHP3-Lite supports the functions required before
creating custom scripts. This can be checked by looking in the PHP3-Lite manual on
our Web site: http://www.axis.com
There are some applications that are shipped with the Axis 2400/2401 products;
besides these applications the additional PHP3-scripts that define extra functions are
explained in Appendix A at the end of this document.
