Because it is faster to type three lines than trawl through a load of garbage that is useless to what I am looking for!
To further this thread which is asked lots o times, for free I recommend IndexScript. http://indexscript.com Also here is a list of Free and Paid Directory Scripts.
If you think of garbage, garbage you get. BUt still, searching is a lot easier. You just started yet another damn thread about directory scripts. Hope you are happy in your laziness.
'Iowa Dog' Damn there I go again. Thinking of garbage Man, I am happy, always have been, always will be BUT....... Please dont suggest I am lazy, capullo!
My favourite is phplinkdirectory.com (although eSyndiCat is good). Why phpLD? Cause its got a fantastic support forum and its highly customisable!!!
Ok looks like phpld is the way to go but how do I get free mysql databse? My hosting company dont have it on offer and I really dont want to pay for it as I am just 'playing'. Any suggestions?
I would not recommend starting a directory to just "play". And there is no way around paying for a mysql database, that's a pretty basic hosting necessity.
Start your own local server to try out features and purchase a real hosting plan when you're serious. Check out: http://www.wampserver.com/en/
Alternatively if your not that confident setting up a testing server download the trial version or purchase Sokkit.net - its very quick and easy to install and you'll be able to have your test server up and running in just a few minutes!!!
