Installation

ANN - Artificial Neural Network for PHP

This chapter describes the steps to implement the ANN source code to your project.

Requirements

The latest implementation requires a php environment running PHP 8.2 or above.

Installation

• Download the source code

• Checking integrity

$ md5sum ann300*

• Unpack the source code

$ tar -xzf ann300.tar.gz

• Copy the directory ANN to your library directory of your project.

• Including to your source

<?php

require_once 'ANN/Loader.php';

use ANN\Network;

$objNetwork = new Network;

• Learn to use the library. Have a look to chapter Examples.

• For further information e.g. about dat-files have a view to the FAQ page.

Performance issues

• Install Zend Optimizer (PHP version before 5.3.0)
• Do not use any debugger module like xdebug
• Do not use any profiling tool
• Do not set "max_execution_time = 0" in your php.ini or .htaccess file
• Running PHP on Linux console use "php -d max_execution_time=60 neural.php"
• Run implicit ini_set() call to set "max_execution_time" by runtime
• Use PHP 5.3.x
• Use PHP 5.4.x (much faster than PHP 5.3.x)
