phpDivingLog

phpDivingLog is a set of PHP programs which are used to display the scuba diving logbook data from Diving Log 5.0 online. For an example, please see https://www.borrett.id.au/divelog/

First, you purchase Diving Log 5.0 and use it to create and maintain your diving logbook.

Second, you install and configure phpDivingLog on your web server.

Third, the Diving Log 5.0 data is exported using that program's own MySQL Dump option. The data is then imported into a MySQL database on your web server.

The phpDivingLog PHP programs then enable your online users to look at your Diving Log 5.0 logbook via any web browser.

Downloads & Change History

Here you can learn how to access the latest version of phpDivingLog, plus download some of the earlier versions.

phpDiving Log 3.x for Diving Log 5.0

The introduction of Diving Log 5.0 saw many new logbook features added which phpDivingLog 1.x and 2.x simply didn't support. Eventually these features proved too tempting and users of phpDivingLog were asking for an updated version. In July 2011, I installed a development version of phpDivingLog 2.x, and began looking at creating phpDivingLog 3.x to support the new features.

Rob Lensen soon joined the phpDivingLog 3.x project. He also setup the project on GitHub at https://github.com/Infern1/phpDivinglog. The two of us have been slowly working on adding support for new Diving Log 5.0 features, plus general enhancements to phpDivingLog.

As of October 2011, phpDivingLog 3.x is still an alpha version. You can see my Diving Log 5.0 logbook being displayed in the latest live development implementation at https://www.borrett.id.au/divelog/.

phpDivingLog 1.x and 2.x for Diving Log 4.0

The development of phpDivingLog began when Diving Log 4.0 was the current version of the PC based logbook program. It was updated to support new features as Diving Log 4.0 was updated. By 2008, I was satisfied with the way phpDivingLog 1.x worked for me and stopped further development.

As phpDivingLog is an open source project, Rob Lensen was then able to take up the development role and he created phpDivingLog 2.x which you can find at https://rob.lensen.nu/phpdivinglog/ and on SourceForge at https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpdivinglog/. Further development of phpDivingLog 2.x effectively ceased in 2009.

History

My initial scuba dives were recorded on my partner's Uwatec Smart Pro dive computer. Then I purchased my own Suunto Vytec DS dive computer. So I was faced with the prospect of using the Suunto Dive Manger program going forward and not having the earlier dives in my digital logbook, or finding a different program to satisfy my needs.

So I started to look around for a program that would support me being able to bring all of my logged dives together in the one digital logbook on my Windows XP based computer. Plus I wanted to be able to have my dive logbook on my i-mate PDA2k Pocket PC, and also be able to dump the logbook data so that I could use it to create an online logbook.

I found the program Diving Log 4.0 by Sven Knoch, which has both a Windows XP and Pocket PC version. (See https://www.divinglog.de.) Diving Log 4.0 supports an extensive array of data import and export options, including the ability to create a MySQL dump file.

Olaf van Zandwijk (see https://enschede.vanzandwijk.net/diving/) kindly gave me the PHP code he had used to put his Diving Log database online using an earlier version of the Diving Log program.

And so began the journey towards the current version of phpDivingLog.
