// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

//  This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

//  If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead

//  Only persons who have Full Control or Design permissions can approve or reject
//  items or files in a list or library that requires approval. Other site users
//  can only view what they have permission to view or what they have uploaded
//  themselves.
// 
//  Important:  Approval or rejection of items or files in lists or libraries must
//  be done one at a time. You cannot approve or reject multiple items or files in
//  one operation.
