Facebook App script.

Hi. I purchased a WSO on making $ with Facebook Apps. It also came with a script for a particular app using PHP. I am completely ignorant on all things related to programing. The ebook is very good but the author must assume that the reader knows how to install this script on a webpage.

Can someone explain to me what I need to do or point me in the direction of a good book on the subject? The only thing I can think of is to treat the script like it is HTML and just copy and paste it onto my website and then put in my Facebook app codes that I generate on FB. Am I even close to being on target?

Also, can I use a script like this with Wordpress? I use HostGator if that helps.

Thanks for any info you can give me.

  • without knowing more about what you're doing, I would guess the answer is yes, just insert it like html. PHP is a serverside programming language that is mixed with html. There are only 2 important catchs to make the PHP work on your server
    #1) the file must be a .php not a .htm or anything else. it must be filename.php or else the server will present all the special php code as plain text which could be a big security problem for you.
    #2) inside the php file, all the php code must be inside special brackets like this <? code here ?> or this <?php code here ?>


    I hope that helps.

  • make sure that your hosting account supports php as well. THat could be a show stopper right there.
