The main part of the script is the file /comments/includes/commentics.php. This file loads the language definitions, functions and classes before then displaying the output using the template files. In doing this it is also responsible for the following:

• Connecting the database
• Loading the settings
• Error reporting level
• Detecting the administrator
• Maintenance Mode
• Validating the page ID
• Setting the time zone
• Unbanning users
• Adding viewers
• Running the task system

In addition to commentics.php, other independent files include /comments/rss.php, /comments/subscribers.php, /comments/flag.php and /comments/vote.php.

To connect to the database, load the file /comments/includes/db/connect.php. The database contains the following tables:

• access
• admins
• attempts
• bans
• comments
• logins
• pages
• questions
• reporters
• settings
• subscribers
• version
• viewers
• voters

As of Commentics v2.0, to retrieve a database setting you can use the syntax $cmtx_settings→name_of_setting. If inside a function then you will need to make sure that the $cmtx_settings variable is globalized, like so:

global $cmtx_settings;
