MPS stands for MySQL+PHP Phone Search, just about the worst name I could think
of. It's is meant to be a library to query a MySQL address database.
Starting with 0.5 it will be compatible with the one generated by foondump.
It used to work with FoonRIP, but FoonRIP development has stopped. If you're still using
a FoonRIP database, you'll want MPS-0.4, the last version supporting FoonRIP.
Apart from querying a MySQL database it's also possible to query a remote XML-RPC
server (server included as xmlserver.php). XML-RPC support is broken at the moment though. Also included in this distribution is a sample html interface
(index.html) which must be configured through config.php. Everthing was created with the
idea of creating fast SQL queries, either
by making really slow queries impossible or altering the db in such a way to
take maximum advantage of indices.
The database is compatible with the foondump 4.10a database. The 090604 snapshot will remain
available for those of you who still use a foondump 4.01 database. If you're using a foondump
4.07 or 4.10 database you should upgrade to 4.10a as both those foondump versions contained some
nasty bugs resulting in a screwed up database.
MPS is not affiliated with foondump, nor does it in any way encourage
anything not legal. It's just a way to search in an address database compatible
with foondump's.
