Tools and Software To Save You Time

Website Scripts

These are not all the scripts in the world - they are just the ones I've tried. If you want a directory of all the scripts out there, try PHP Resource Center or CGI Resource Center. After you check these out, of course.

• Download Doctor
  If you offer downloadable anything from your website -- ebooks, software, audios, whatever -- this script protects your payment thank you pages (and therefore your download links) from being accessed by 'non-payers'. Digital shoplifting is only getting worse, but the Doc comes to the rescue. I've been using this php script for almost a year -- set it up once, and just keep adding new products, it's great.



• Groundbreak Affiliate
  This one is used by lots of sites, and it is a great affiliate script. This one and Little Salesman by Wes (see above) are my top two picks for affiliate scripts -- which one to choose depends on whether you want mySQL or not (this one uses mySQL, Little Salesman above doesn't). The 'cheap' engineer got the best of me here, so I decided to write my own.



• OpenSource CMS
  If you are looking for a CMS script for your website -- hold on to your hats! OpenSourceCMS has over 40 of the most popular set up on their site so you can try them out without installing them on your site -- what an excellent idea.
