=== Some example Scripts ===
As for the [[#PHP_scripts|PHP daily summary scripts section]] - ''Be aware if you use PHP scripts written by someone else .... These scripts may use "include ..." or "require ..." to bring in variables (such as those for accessing the database) or functions (to do standard actions) or templates (shared headers, navigation menus and footers) or text (any other common content) that is used with a number of pages on author's site. If you don't comment out those references to external scripts, or replace the references with your equivalents, the PHP parser may fail to produce a HTML page and nothing will be available to the browser. Thus you do need a simple understanding of PHP, a PHP book, or the ability to look up PHP instructions on the web if you are to be successful with tailoring these scripts to your site.''
