Integration with yoursite.php

For the next few paragraphs the "yoursite.php" refers to whatever
files and/or scripts belong to your already existing website. This
hypothetical script should at least output the <html><body> tags
around the output from ewiki. The most simple script to accomplish
this could look like this (see also example-2.php):

    <?php
       mysql_connect("localhost", "DB-USER-NAME", "PASSWORD");     
       mysql_query("use DATABASE-NAME-HERE");

       define("EWIKI_SCRIPT", "yoursite.php?page=");               
       include_once("ewiki.php");                                  
    ?>
    <HTML>
     <head>...</head>
    <BODY>
    <?php
       echo  ewiki_page();                                         
    ?>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

1+  The first two commands open a connection to your MySQL database.
Usually one saves the result of mysql_connect() in a variable named
$db or so, but that was not used in "ewiki.php" at all (because PHP
does not depend on it if there is only a single db connection).

2+  The define line tells ewiki about the <a href= hyperlinks it
shall create for wiki pages.

3+  The include_once("ewiki.php") finally loads the ewiki "library" and
sets any EWIKI_ constants that have not already been defined here. Instead
of "include" we use the safer "include_once" since version R1.02b

4+  The final call to the ewiki_page() function returns the wiki page
which was requested by the browser as <html> string. The "echo" command
lets PHP print it out.
