How do I use this system?

[ebay258]

Hello,
I'm trying to use this free classifieds system to put up a directory website. I have absolutelly ZERO knowledge of PHP,MySQL, and things like that, infact I don't even know what they mean, but it says that's what's required. How does this work and how can I use it.

Since the software is free they barelly give any support so I need your help, all they give you is this instalation guide. What exactly do I do with it? Here is a site using it: thefreelist.net

Their site: http://classifieds.phpoutsourcing.com/

Get a host and domain with PHP and mySQL already installed, unpack the download,upload it and follow the install directions. Its pretty easy.

It sounds as thought Noahs Classifieds is an outsourcing company that do all the php and mysql for you (at a price), no personal knowledge required.

(PHP is a scripting language allowing you to take html code and make it dynamic, i.e. make the html webpage change depending on individual visitors and their needs for example. User registration systems for example use it almost always. MYSQL is an open source RDBMS or relational database management system, allowing you to extract data from a database according to which data you actually need from it.)


P.S. What context is this in? Why have you been asked to do this with no experience? Just curious.
