1. their names or categories should define what type of scripts they are, else load them on some site perhaps we can use them too :)
2. Hi, like happygal said, they should be split by category so you have an idea of what they are. Getting them to work is a little different than HTML. PHP is a server-side language which means that it is not as easy as opening it in your browser. You have 2 options: 1. Install something like WAMP so you can run the scripts on your local machine. 2. Upload to a PHP enabled hosting account on the web. Personally I would always go for the first option as it is free and is quicker to test your scripts. I am guessing that you are very new to PHP so I have included some tutorial sites in the source list for you. Hope this helps
3. If they don't tell you what they do (and what parameters they need, and what they return), you'll have to read their codes! In doing so, you'll learn PhP. In doing so, you'll see that although these scripts are useful, they are never adapter "exactly" to your needs of the moment. In doing so, and since you'll know PhP, why not writing your own, when you need one! :-)))
