Updated! PHPrs v.3b released!
Oops! In my haste to get v.2b released, I neglected to include the proper ports for both server and viewer. Be sure to set the correct listening ports in inc/config.php.
Download PHP Remote Support v.3b here!
I have tested this release from download to installation and ran it though a real support session (How are users able to turn ‘show hidden characters’ on, but have no idea how to turn it off again?), and I can confirm that it is working this time… I think… 
Please report any bugs to: info@phpremotesupport.com

hi,
i was looking to use this as it has so much potential, all i wanted to know is where does 7zip need to be installed? is it on the webserver or local on the host/client machines? reason i ask is i currently have a web hosting from a 3rd party without the ability to install software so if this is the case i cant use this excellent php remote support
thank you
Sorry for the long delay, real life has been a real pain lately
7zip will have to be installed on the webserver that is serving the remote support site. Essentially, you can think of the whole system as a combination of two separate servers.
1) A webserver that generates the session number, compiles the client and support executables and sends them to the user(s).
2) A relay server that hosts the VNC relay service. This allows you to bypass the requirement of any port forwarding or potential firewall interference.
There is no reason why you can host both parts on a single server (it’s how I run my setup).
The purpose behind 7Zip is to allow a self extracting and auto executing application. No need to install 7zip on the client’s system, but it IS required on the web server.
Which host are you hosted on? It is quite possible that they already have the package installed, or may be willing to install it for you. It is a very common and well known application, so they shouldn’t have a problem with it.
This is a fantastic little web plug-in!
Is there is plans to add the encryption to it?

I tried to add the files as there the ASP instruction and my PHP is limited but it didnt work! All i get was error building your session.
If not, thanks for making the PHP version anyhow!

Great work on PHP Remote Support!
I have created a modified version of PHP Remote Support that includes encryption and support to email session details to the client.
If you want to download it see link below

Would you be so kind and post what repeater you used for your application?
Greetings,
