    I have a wordpress blog . i like to install a directory submission PHP script,
    I have one database from my host , can i use it for the PHP script too ?
    will it cause any problem ?

    I asked some friends, they said "Use a different prefix "
    I don't know what does it mean :(

    Can any one help me in this ?
    posting a YouTube video or any tutorial will be very much thankful :)

    When you setup a wordpress blog, it asks for a prefix for the table names, normally this is wp_. Most likely they want you to use a different prefix for the new tables so they don't interfere. So use a prefix for the new tables like directory_.
