Editing PhpGedView (section)

==Features==
PhpGedView is a multi-user, platform-independent system, allowing for distributed work on a family tree. Users can view, contribute and approve others' contributions, depending on their status. PhpGedView has several modes for protecting the privacy of data,<ref>[http://phpgedview.net/privacy.php PhpGedView Privacy (modes)]</ref> such as protecting all data from unregistered users, or protecting data on living people from unregistered users.

Several types of reports and diagrams can be produced, which can be exported as [[PDF]] files for viewing, storing, and printing. Maps can be generated that show all the locations mentioned for a person.

PhpGedView is installed on a [[web server]]. The user can either import a [[GEDCOM]] file to populate it or build a GEDCOM in place. An external genealogy program can be used to create, edit and upload the GEDCOM. GEDCOMs can also be edited directly in PhpGedView by multiple users registered via the web interface. For each individual in the GEDCOM, a range of data can be recorded, from standard genealogical information, such as dates and places, to employment, education, religion, photos, videos, sources of data, and more. Through version 3 it worked in both [[MySQL]] and a non-database index mode.<ref>[http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=585569 SourceForge.net PhpGedView 4.0 Released]</ref> From version 4 on, it works only with a database.
