PHPRunner General questions

I am building an app that I will resell to businesses. For example - a car sales application.
I want to install it on my site (example: www.car-sales-app.com) and then give each client their own folder.
www.car-sales-app.com/ford

www.car-sales-app.com/chevy

www.car-sales-app.com/BMW
Each client will have their own database and I will just copy the output folder to each of these folders.
From what I know...

  1. I will have to hack some file to get them each connecting to a separate database
  2. Because of the way phprunner handles sessions if you log in at /ford and you change the url to /chevy you are going to be logged in there as well.
    Is what I'm trying to do even possible?

Yes, this is possible.

  1. No need to hack anything. Connection settings can be changed in include/dbcommon.php file
  2. PHPRunner 7.0 creates a separate session for each project so sessions are not shared

For anyone else trying this... let me add some more info now that I have tried this.
In the dbcommon.php file you also need to change the session value for each folder you install your project to.
So, here is an example. Let's say I have created a webapp called "Car Lot" and I want to rent it out to 4 local dealers.
I host it on my site www.carlot.com and create a folder for each one.
I copy the output folder up to my server and put it in four different folders.
/BMW

/Ford

/Chevy

/Porsche
Now, I need to make sure the database values in dbcommon.php are changed to the database for that client.
Also, I need to give each one a unique session value (also found in dbcommon.php). If I don't do this... then, you can log in at /BMW and just change the URL to /Ford and you are still logged in.
