1.  How to create a PHP Script?
   

   »	To create a PHP script enter enter a url of the PHP script starting with *http://*.
   »	The file name of the php script should end with *.php* or *.php3* or *.php4*.
   »	Then save the file local in a folder and upload it on you web server, so that it is accessable by the url.
   »	You can check this in the next step of the configuration or by entering the url in your web browser.
   »	If you want to access the script via SSL then you have to enter a url starting with *https://* (Have a look at the screenshot). In the screenshot we have also entered a user name and password to access a protected folder via web authentification.

2.  How to enter the MySQL access data?
   

   »	Enter the simple MySQL Server name or IP.
   »	You don't have to enter database name. But some ISP forbit the SQL query *SHOW DATABASES* to show a list of the available databases. If you only have one database on the MySQL server you should enter the name of the database. If the query *SHOW DATABASES* is not allowed a MySQL error will be raised.
   »	Backquotes/ backticks can be used if the MySQL Version > 3.23.6. You need backticks if table- or column names contain special reserved words like *ALTER*.
