Free Scripts

eKstreme.com is home to many free PHP scripts written by me. In no particular order:

• PHPCounter a free website statistics and hit counter script. It is a free PHP counter that uses a text file for the database.
• PHPTraK is a link tracking script written in PHP. It uses a text file as its database and can track an unlimited number of links!
• Zeta Portal is a free PHP portal script that does not require a database!
• egbook is a free feature-packed PHP guestbook!
• Website spell checker to - ummm - spell check any URL you give it.
• CrawlerController to help you fight referral spam on your website.
• Website Button Maker to make website buttons of any size, especially like this one:
• AJAX-PHP Link Tracker: An AJAX/PHP/MySQL script to track which links on a page are clicked by users. Very cool!
