Script Garage
I purchased 20+ Php scripts that I really need. My question is, how do you install these pho scripts? Do I....
Do I need to get a web host first? Do I use dreamweaver for installing them? I want to put them into a website & then have the site up on the net. Please give me complete details on how to do this, thanks.

- you do not need Dreamweaver, but you do need a webserver with Apache, IIS or Xitami or any other PHP aware server. you will ofcourse need to install PHP on the server and set it up. Once you have all that, you just need to create a virtual folder and put your scripts in that folder. then access your scripts using a path similar to: http://localhost/your_php_script.php. Its that simple. :) All the best.
- My advice would be to research what you're spending your hard-earned money on in the future, before blowing it on something you haven't got a clue how to use. Get yourself a host. You can use Dreamweaver if you like, but personally I'd use a third-party FTP client. Good luck...
- Your scripts *should* contain read-me files if not however then you may need to manually edit a few details of some php scripts to corrispond to your own website's location and data etc in dreamweaver source view you will see the scripts exact contain. But in future I'd suggest using www.hotscripts.com for free scripts with better support.
- Okay let me be the one to tell you, "It's not just that simple" Sorry, but it's not. I highly recommend that you look into working with PHP before you try to purchase PHP scripts. Your best bet ritenow is to get your own webspace. They are most likely equipped with Apache, and have PHP already installed aswell. All you have to do is upload the PHP scripts to your website and goto the URL of which the files are located. If you don't want to go through all of that then research Apache. (Installing it Correctly is not as easy as some people try to tell you.) I hope that helped a little. -Void
