Installation Instructions
Before installing, make sure your hosting environment meets all requirements including the Wowza SE as HTML5 WebRTC streaming relay. Production implementations should also involve Session Control for security and website integration (like list of live channels).
Deploy files to your web installation location. (Example: yoursite.domain/html5-videochat/)
Fill your streaming settings in settings.php file
If you don't have SuPHP, enable write permissions (0777) for folder "uploads", required to save session and chat info.
Plain PHP Edition Limitations
The plain php edition refers to minimal scripts for configuring and accessing videochat room, so developers can integrate with own scripts.
Plain php edition does not involve database and systems to manage members, rooms, billing. These depend on framework you want to integrate, plugins, database, member system.
Applications reads parameters, wallet balance and other data with ajax calls from framework/integration scripts (that need to be implemented depending on framework, database, user scripts).
A complete implementation of features is available for WordPress framework. See Turnkey HTML5 Videochat Site edition, available as WordPress plugin with full php source. Includes user role management (performers/clients), pay per minute, integrates billing wallets.
Plain edition implements 1 way streaming and chat with broadcast / playback screens for broadcaster and other participants. Application supports but this edition does not implement signaling for requesting 2 way video calls or parameters and content for conference/collaborations.
Main Integration Scripts
index.php embeds the html5 application: accessed directly creates a room and shows room link to invite others

app-functions.php functions implementing features for app-call.php , including translated texts, app settings
settings.php settings and options, including streaming settings and url for calls (when integrating with own framework)
