Step 1: Unzip the FAQ.zip file.

If you do not have a software to unzip the FAQ.zip file, you can download a free trial version of WinZip by clicking here

After "unzipping" the FAQ.zip file you should have the following files as shown below. If you do not have a similar structure as the one below, check to make sure you have your zip program preferences set to allow the creation of directories and to preserve case and long filenames.

Files included in FAQ.zip:
Copyright Notice.html
Install Instructions.html
admin.php
codelock.php
ez_sql.php
faq.php
footer.php
header.php
install.php
template.php
util.php

Step 2: Create a new directory on your website named faq (or any name you choose).

Step 3: Upload all files into your newly created faq directory. Be sure to set the file permissions of the ez_sql.php file to 777.

Step 4: Create a MySQL database. If you do not know how to do this, please contact your web host and they can help you with this.

Step 5: Point your web browser to the install.php file. So if your website is http://domain.com and you uploaded the files to the "faq" directory, then you would type http://domain.com/faq/install.php in the address line of your browser.

You will be asked for MySQL database information and an admin password. If you do not know your MySQL database information, please contact your web host and they can tell you this information.

After you have successfully installed the script, be sure to delete the install.php file.

Step 6: Access your admin area at http://domain.com/faq/admin.php by entering the admin password you chose in Step 5. Click on the "Manage subjects" link to begin setting up your frequently asked questions (FAQ) pages.

Congratulations, you're done :o) For more free PHP and MySQL scripts, be sure to come back to PHPFreebies.com.
