Event Espresso Requirements Check

This plugin checks your server for some basic environment information to ensure compatibility with Event Espresso, the premium event management plugin for WordPress. While it's possible to use this plugin for general environment information, it is primarily focussed on providing information that would benefit or relate to your Event Espresso installation. It is not recommended to leave this plugin active. While it won't harm your server in any way if you do, there are a number of checks and global variables that are set that don't need to be running all the time. If you have any feature requests or issues, please post to the plugin forums on WordPress.org. Event Espresso is the premier event management solution for WordPress.

Version 0.7.6

• adds a check before wp_get_theme function is run
• adds more comments to code

Version 0.7.5

• added upload_max_filesize check
• added phpinfo link in the php section
• adds check for themeforest author uri
• adds php strict checking
• abstrats the version number at the bottom of the requirements check page to a function that gets it from the plugin version (so it doesn't need to be updated in two places in every update)
• adds Media Temple check
• displays link to installed apache modules on mod_security warning

Version 0.7.1

• minor update, adds initial default value for $apache_problems variable.

Version 0.7

• minor fix that hides apache version if it's the same as the $webserver variable (which uses $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']). probably doesn't apply to most environments other than localhost installs that seem to dump more stuff into that variable.
• on my live server apache_get_version() just returns "Apache" with no actual version number...so this should only display if the two things are different (which they may well never be)...

• checks if the htaccess file exists before displaying the hidden div with the contents
