Everyone wants to make their site more interesting for the user. Most often, scripts are used for this, they provide great opportunities for the development of Internet projects.
Necessary
PHP script, PHP-enabled hosting, local server, FTP manager or online FTP service
Instructions
Step 1
A script is an executable program that runs in a browser window or on a server. There are many scripts, the most popular of which are php scripts. PHP scripts are written in the PHP programming language; they are executed directly on the server.
Step 2
To install a PHP script, you need to make sure that the hosting that hosts the site supports PHP. Modern hosting services must support PHP version 5 or higher.
Step 3
After downloading a script from a free source or purchasing it, you must first unpack the script on your computer and test it on a local server (Apache). If it is not installed, you can download the ready-made Denwer or XAMPP package provided with the installer and install it.
Step 4
If the script throws an error upon request, you need to try to fix it yourself or contact his programmer to find out what the problem is.
Step 5
If the script runs successfully, you can upload the unpacked version to the hosting server via FTP. To do this, you can use the Total Commander or CuteFTP utilities. There are also many online FTP services that will help you download the necessary files without installing additional programs.
Step 6
Next, you need to run the script through the browser by entering the site address and the path to it. If the script gives an error (while it was running correctly on the computer), then this indicates a different hosting setting. It is necessary to copy the error generated by the script and send it to the hosting support service, which will tell you how to solve the problem.
