creating a install.php feature.

Pezmc

I have made a hit counter script but I would like a client to be able to download it upload it and run install.php. They then fill in a form with mysql address password etc, and a config.php file is created with all this information for the script to use, the script then creates tables in the database and then self combusts (deletes its self) how can I go about doing this?

is there not a tutorial of something I can follow?

After going through the [man]tutorial[/man] chapter in the PHP manual, what more do you need? A tutorial for what? How to program? How to use a manual?

A tutorial is not the same thing as having someone else do the work for you. You've got to put a bit of effort in somewhere. Have a crack at it yourself before admitting defeat.
