I want to start a website where i can list multiple information like Local Business, their address, Website URL, Maps etc. This information should be perfectly organized and i should be able to manage it easily. I need one of the best scripts for this job which can handle hundreds or thousands of business details and if someone needs to search for something he should be able to do it real quickly, easily and should be getting the perfect information. Is this possible?
Yes, its possible with already available scripts all over the web like the most favorite script of webmasters which is the PhpLinkDirectory which can help you in building a website links directory, but when were are talking about a really professional classifieds based local business directory where you can list local business centers with multiple details then you should check out Php My Directory which is a Search Engine Friendly Web Portal System. Overall the system has got hundred of features and costs around 99.5$ and in order to try out i purchased a new licence and installed it at Indian Timbers domain and wrote down the following installation procedure.
Installation Procedure :
Once you download the latest version of the PhpMyDirectory Script you will have to extract the zip file and upload all the files to your web hosting service following which you need to access the domainname.com/install/ folder to start the procedure. You will be asked to have a Php5 on your Server and will have to create a new Database & User using the Cpanel.
Next Enter all the details there along with the email address which would be the admin login ID , along with a password and the Licence Key ID which is available to you under the PhpMyDirectory User Account. Once the Installation is completed you will get the following message as shown below.
Make sure to delete the /install/ folder for security reasons.
Secondly, set permissions on the defaults.php to 644.
The installation is now complete.
The first time you login to the admin section which is available at yourdomain.com/cp/admin_index.php a Cron Job is run and the following message will be sent to you as a email.

Hello amit
The site you had installed is not working giving an error
Basically my server has PHP4 and it needs PHP5 which is why i informed the tech support team to upgrade it and this is the reason there are few errors coming in, should be fixed in a days time.
Hi Amit, Your site is not working please check and guide.
