Since PHP is not compiled, a php server process is called a script instead of a program.
So a PHP script is a set of exectable instructions in a file starting with <?PHP and ending with ?>

Have a look here: http://php.net/

Is a script a complete program?  For example, am I getting the complete web site software noted on the site or just the  php script?  

 

by: mplungjanPosted on 2009-07-11 at 23:11:39ID: 24833415

It is a poorly worded statement

You will likely receive a SET of scripts - probably numbering from 10-100 files excluding templates and including administrative files.

Read it: Web Space: Minimum 10 MB (for system without any Data. 1GB is recommended because the system may have lot of product images).

So you will receive a LOT of files :)

Please answer the following question:

Is a script a complete program?  For example, am I getting the complete web site software noted on the site AJ Classifieds or just the  php script?  

 

by: mplungjanPosted on 2009-08-16 at 22:48:11ID: 25111852

As I said - I am sure you will get the collection of scripts to do admin and execute the processes needed

 

by: KatiasmPosted on 2009-08-23 at 13:11:02ID: 25164063

The above statement does not answer the question I am asking.   The question is:
"Is a script a complete program/website?  For example, am I getting the complete web site software including Html coding noted on the site or just the  php script? "

 

by: mplungjanPosted on 2009-08-23 at 23:43:59ID: 25166008

I have emailed their support. Let's see what they say

 

by: KatiasmPosted on 2009-09-07 at 18:42:09ID: 25278206

mplungian,
Did you ever recieve a response from AJ Classifieds?  If not, I can contact them.

 

by: mplungjanPosted on 2009-09-07 at 22:15:51ID: 25278803

No reply. Please do

I felt my question was only partially answered.

 

by: KatiasmPosted on 2009-10-31 at 20:20:02ID: 25712494

I agree that the original question was answered correctly.  However, I added the following additional comment which I felt was not answered.  "Is a script a complete program?  For example, am I getting the complete web site software noted on the site or just the  php script? "  I wanted to know if a script is the actual website, including the html.   I was not aware that I should close the ticket based only on the original question, because due to the response I recieved, I was adding a more detailed description of what I was looking for.  

Also, I just noticed from the original question that the second part of the question was not answered.  It is as follows:

Also, is there a command I can use to find out what other customers on the internet are running the same software?

 

by: mplungjanPosted on 2009-10-31 at 22:29:03ID: 25712720

And to answer the second question which got sort of lost in the semantic discussion: if I understand your question correctly you want to identify if other people are running the same software. If they have uniquely identifiable filenames, then you can try to google for such a name. Or if the sites advertise "built on software XYZ" However it is not likely and again something much more easy to answer by the producers of the software.
