DGS Search SetupOnce you've added a few database entries, you need to download DGS Search v0.9.5. DGS Search is the set of PHP scripts I used for the database search. I specifically liked it because it is modular, so creating the Flash integration was easy. DGS Search v0.9.5 (it also comes included in the attached zip) After you have unzipped it into your web directory, edit the config/config.php file to look like below. (Alternatively, I have included this file in the attached zip as well. It is titled config_flash.php You can make your changes with that file and then overwrite config/config.php with the config_flash.php)

Once your config is setup, you have to go and edit the footer.php and header.php in the config/ directory. It is imperative that both of these files have no data at all (0 byte file). I've also included those files in the attached zip
