# PHP Gift Wishlist
The PHP Gift Wishlist is a web-enabled gift registry intended for use among
a circle of family members or friends.
It is intended to fill the following purposes:
* Permit the long-term storage of a list of items one desires, along with its price, where it can be bought, and (optionally) a URL where it can be
viewed.
* Enabled items to be "locked" by one shopper so that the same item is not bought by someone else.
Its features include:
* A single unifying view of items on your own list and people whose lists you can view.
* A now-optional request/permit system by which you can control who can see your list.
* A "checkin/checkout" system which allows you to reserve items on someone's list.
* An in-system messaging system by which users can be informed of item deletions or custom announcements.
* New users can request accounts. Optionally, administrators will be informed about the request, and they can then approve or reject the request. Either way, the user will be informed by e-mail.
* A site-customizable ranking system for items.
* An events system for users to add significant (read: gift-bearing) events which will show up on others' displays when the event nears.
