A Guide to Free PHP Scripts

If you are to prosper in a competitive online market then you will require some useful tools to help you to reach your goal. You will be losing so much revenue if you were to hire website designers to construct you a custom site or script for every website you're going to build. This is why people and groups have carried out the hard work for you - for free.

Here is a list of a sample of the highly recommended free php scripts that can be downloaded and install within minutes, not only are they all very handy but they will save you lots of time and money.

1) One of the most popular scripts out there is Wordpress, which I'm sure you're already aware of. This blogging system has been on the market for years now and nearly every blogger out there has or will use this system at some point. Its high end coding even allows the user to create their own mods and themes to change the look of their blog.

2) Another useful free php script would be Dolphin, a social networking script which allows you (the owner) to setup your own social network like Facebook, Myspace, Bebo, etc. Completely free of charge! This script can be edited easily enough and you can change the design with some small edits. It is a huge script so it may take some time to get used to it, but this is a fantastic script that should be downloaded even if you're not interested in social networking.

3) Drupal is a leading content management system which is available for free. It's more or less another Wordpress system, but different in its own way and not specifically for bloggers. Drupal is targeted at giving webmasters a CMS (Content Management System) that makes life easier when managing content and members. Not only does Drupal offer a superb open source CMS but it is built so that coders can produce some useful mods and addons to the system which can make life easier for other webmasters.

These are merely 3 of the most widely used free php scripts out there and definitely 3 of the most effective. There are many other php scripts out there that makes life easier for website developers & programmers but you will not find anything better than these specifically for the niche they're used for.
