These small features written in php are included:

• gzip compression filter
• a small caching class
• Shoudoka-dispatcher
• Unicode to UTF8 converter

These applications have been written by Joel Yliluoma, a.k.a. Bisqwit,
and are being distributed under the terms of the General Public License (GPL).
However, the dictionaries come with different licenses. They all have been downloaded from the home page of the EDICT project.
Here is a list of the dictionaries and their licenses:

• Aviation: Feel free to do anything, just don't charge anybody else for it.
• Classical: Can be used, with acknowledgement, for any free software or server.
• Concrete: Please include the readme and happy to receive email.
• Ediclsd3: Free for personal, but public or commercial util need a written permission.
• Lawgledt: Distributable, but not to be sold.
• Lingdic: Distributable, but not to be sold. Publishing on paper needs a written permission.
• Findic, Geodic, Mktdic, Pandpgls, Stardict, 4jwords, Engscidich, j_places: Unknown
• Compverb: Subset of EDICT, see below
• Compdic, edict, enamdict, kanjidic: EDICT license

If what you want is not a local copy of the dictionary application but just a piece of html code to put on your web page, here's some. Replace "unihtml" with the character set of your web page or leave it like it is.

<form method=GET action="http://bisqwit.iki.fi/japtools/">
 <input type=hidden name="inset" value="unihtml">
 <table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr>
  <td width=125>&#26085;&#26412;&#35486;&#25506;&#12377;<br><small>(nihongo sagasu)</small>:
  <td valign=top><input type=text name=s size=20>
  <td valign=top><input type=submit value="Go">
 </tr></table>
</form>


To be written.

Japkanji requires MySQL and PHP to run; Kakasi and GNU Recode for database generation, Perl for configuration, charconv for optional &inset -parameter handling, and wget for updating the dictionary files from the EDICT master site.
GNU Make is also required.

From what feedback I have got, this package is not easy to install.
Which is not really a surprise to me....
But some have succeeded. Ganbatte kudasai :)
