How to customize the Online Auctions PHP script?
The Online Auctions PHP script can be used 'as is' without further modification but most likely you will want to add your logo or company name and/or make it match the rest of an existing website. The easiest way to do this is to leave the body of the script and simply edit header.php and footer.php with html copied from your existing pages.
To reduce the size of the product display area, set $timeleft to 'n' in constants.php.
