Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about our PHP scripts

General Questions

Are the PHP scripts really free to use? ▼

Yes, all scripts on PHP-Script.us are completely free to download and use. You can use them in personal projects, client work, and commercial applications. We release our scripts under the MIT license, which gives you maximum flexibility.

What PHP version do I need? ▼

Most of our scripts require PHP 8.0 or higher. We test all scripts on PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 to ensure compatibility. Each script's documentation page lists its specific version requirements. We recommend using the latest stable PHP release for best performance and security.

Can I modify the scripts for my own projects? ▼

Absolutely. Our scripts are designed to be customized. The modular architecture and detailed inline comments make it easy to adapt the code to your specific requirements. You can change the styling, add features, remove components, or integrate them into your existing applications.

Do you offer premium or paid scripts? ▼

Currently, all our scripts are free. We may introduce premium scripts with advanced features in the future, but our core library will always remain free. Our goal is to provide high-quality PHP code to every developer regardless of budget.

Installation & Setup

How do I install a PHP script? ▼

Each script comes with detailed installation instructions. The general process is: (1) Download the script files, (2) Upload them to your web server via FTP or file manager, (3) Import the database SQL file if required, (4) Edit the configuration file with your settings, and (5) Access the script through your browser. Check the specific script's page for step-by-step guidance.

What server requirements do I need? ▼

The minimum requirements for most scripts are: PHP 8.0+, MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+, Apache with mod_rewrite or Nginx, and a valid SSL certificate for HTTPS. Some scripts may need additional PHP extensions like PDO, OpenSSL, mbstring, or GD. Requirements are listed on each script's detail page.

Can I use these scripts on shared hosting? ▼

Yes, most of our scripts work perfectly on shared hosting environments. They are designed to be lightweight and do not require command-line access or special server configurations. As long as your hosting plan meets the PHP version and database requirements, you should be good to go.

Do the scripts work with Nginx? ▼

Yes. While some scripts include .htaccess files for Apache, we also provide equivalent Nginx configuration snippets in the documentation. Both web servers are fully supported and tested.

Security & Updates

Are the scripts secure? ▼

Security is our top priority. All scripts include protection against common web vulnerabilities including SQL injection (using prepared statements), XSS (output escaping), CSRF (token validation), and directory traversal. We follow OWASP security guidelines and regularly review our code for potential vulnerabilities.

How often are scripts updated? ▼

We update scripts regularly to fix bugs, patch security issues, and add compatibility with newer PHP versions. Major updates are announced on our blog, and each script page shows its last update date. We recommend checking back periodically for the latest versions.

I found a security issue. How do I report it? ▼

Please report security vulnerabilities directly via our contact form with the subject "Bug Report." Please include detailed steps to reproduce the issue. We take security reports seriously and aim to release patches within 48 hours of confirmation.

Licensing & Usage

Can I use scripts in commercial projects? ▼

Yes. Our MIT license allows you to use, modify, and distribute the scripts in both personal and commercial projects. You can use them in client websites, SaaS applications, and products you sell. Attribution is appreciated but not required.

Can I redistribute or resell the scripts? ▼

You can include our scripts as part of a larger project or product. However, we ask that you do not redistribute the scripts on their own as a competing download resource. If you build something cool with our scripts, we would love to hear about it!
