PHP Links Overview
Price is only $149. You may download and try before you buy. Non-commercial sites (no ads, no paid listings) may use it for free! Ask any question in the new forum.
PHP Links 1 meets a demand DeltaScripts had for its own website in another section of the firm. It is a program that makes it easy to create your own Link directory!
One of the most unique features (beside unlimited sub-categories) is the option to create extra fields that can be used both in lists and in detailed page. You can for instance ask the user to answer a questions base on a dropdown menu.

History
When the company behind DeltaScripts was founded, it has one product: PHP Links. This had large success, and we started developing something called PHP Classifieds that had even greater success. Due to this, and time pressure, we stopped developing PHP Links.
Due to large changes in coding from that time, we started this version of PHP Links from scratch.
