PhpBay is sold in two versions – a php script for static web pages and as a plugin for WordPress blogs. You can, however, just buy the php Pro script version and use it with WordPress without also having to buy the plugin.
Here are the easy steps to saving some money:
1. Copy your phpbay subdirectory as you would have for static html pages to the domain where your blog is hosted.
2. Update your .htaccess file as you would anyway for static html pages.
3. Copy the auction.php file to your root directory (not into your phpbay subdirectory).
4. Install the Exec-PHP plugin that allows php to run in WordPress oosts and pages.
5. Use the php code within posts and pages as you would do anyway for static html pages.
That’s it. Very simple.
For a sample site, here is a page with eBay listings of Walter Cronkite autographs.
