Classified ads

Hello,

I am trying to learn how to install a php classified ads page.  I have
downloaded Codegirl Classifieds, Geoauctions Lite, Almond Classifieds and a
few others.  I read all the read me files but they don't make much sense.
Can any one point me in the right direction to start to understand how this
all works.  I do know some HTML.  Any help would be appreciated.  TIA

Buy a book on PHP and read it.
I recommend Wrox Publishing books.
You can't expect to know how to do something unless you learn can you?

- upload the folder to your webspace

- run the e.g. /install/install.php file

- fill in the boxes with your mysql database settings

- click on ok


With some apps you might need to edit a file usually called something
like config.inc.php before you run the /install/install.php file but the
readme file will tell you if you need to do that .

You might also need to CHMOD some files and folders using something like
www.smartftp.com , You just need to right click on the file or folder on
your webspace and select CHMOD from the popup menu - again the readme
file will tell you if you need to CHMOD any files or folders .

(if you have WINDOWS hosting and not UNIX hosting then you can ignore
all the CHMOD stuff)

Most php/mysql apps pretty much use the same sort of installation
routine and once you have installed a few of them it becomes very easy .

All of this does depend if your webspace supports php/mysql of course
:-)
