without knowing what you are trying to do (what application) it is hard to give a useful answer.

It seems from the quote that the script is not meant to be run on a web server. Instead it is meant to be ran as a client application.

From the "how to install page" at the site you mentioned, I copy:

"Installation

Note: This project only works with PHP 5 and will only work correctly in a command line environment.

To install this project follow these steps

1. Download Project from here
2. Extract package to an appropriate directory
3. Edit the configuration file, check the following settings
* Passport and Password for the passport you want your bot to login as
* PHP bin location (default should work)
* Admin email
4. Chmod the tmp folder to 777
5. Then head to the usage page for information on how to run the bot"

May I suggest you head to the usage page yourself, when you're done installing according to these instruction.

You need to get into the servers command prompt. Depends on the server how to do that. Contact the servers system manager for information.

It's rather easy if you've got your own server in the basement or whereever your own private little datacenter resides. It might be impossible if you use the server located with an ISP.

To test, install IIS and PHP on your own Windows XP or Vista PC.
