PHP MySQL Askme script

Have you seen almost all he personal or blog sites these days have those cool "ask me" forms. They can either be real html email form or these php/mysql scripts. The tutorial below is for one such popular askme script, originally found at posed.org. This script requires php and MySQL but its real easy to install. I did not write this script, just the tutorial.

Tutorial

» Download this file. Unzip and save it in a folder.
» Make a folder on your server name it something like 'askme' or 'ask' etc.
» Login to your domain's control panel and make a new MySQL database, name it something like 'questions' or 'askme'.
» Open config.php in notepad and edit the variables, the instructions are already provided in it.
» You can change the path of your css file and header.ic/footer.inc there if you want. Save it.
» Upload all these files to the folder you created for it on the server.
» Now access create.php in your borwser (ie. go to http://yoursite.com/askme/create.php) Change the 'yoursite.com' to your domain name and 'askme' to the name of folder you made.
» Once you run this page, it will show you success (hopefully) delete create.php file from the server immediately, for security reasons.
» Go to http://yousite.com/askme/index.php and test the script, ask yourself a question.
» Now go to http://yoursite.com/askme/admin.php and login with the password you put in the config.php file, answer the question. If it all works fine..you are done!
