Frequently Asked Questions
This FAQ page uses the FAQ script from this site

Yes . . . but. While the scripts are functional as written, they are intended as starter scripts. You may want to modify them to meet your needs. For example, the Form Mail script includes input for - name, email and comments - you may want to add more input. You may also need to make some modifications to enable some scripts to work in your environment (see the next FAQ).

Webhosts have different environments - directory paths and installed modules, for example. You may need to make modifications to fit your specific environment.

The most recent update for each Tip or Script is shown. They are updated periodically to reflect changes to the environment (a new release of Apache or PHP, for example) or to update functionality. Please read the Terms of Use on this website.

There are no current plans to expand beyond the Apache PHP MySQL environment. But never say never.

All of these Tips & Scripts were created for use with specific websites. This is a good way to save the ideas (and/or code) for later reuse, and share with others.
