this is a record of my changes & observations of this code
-hmeij

----- installation

mysql -u root -p < ./db_config/CreateDatabase_server.sql
- drop file reference to 'server' in instructions
- always use localhost unless outside access is needed via mysql client
- this also works better if you use DNS aliases to point a vhost

? how to add a admin user
- look at the players table, to assign first admin

includes/database_connect.php
- just use localhost, no outside connections needed

edit login/databse_connect.php
- point to your ladder database...set up for multiple ladders

fixed problem in login/reset_pasword_finished.php
- throws an error with our php, the POST returns 'valueemail=value'
- fix use substr() grab chars position 1 to string 'email='
