Fdscript is a simple and practical indexing program developed using PHP. In a previous article, Nginx Compilation and Installation of Fancy Index Module to Achieve Beautiful Index Directories, we introduced how to use Nginx to implement indexing. However, compiling Nginx is relatively complex. If your host supports a PHP environment, you might as well use the Fdscript program directly.

While the cost is relatively high, it is also safer and more flexible. Especially for those who like to tinker, they want to collect some commonly used programs to facilitate themselves and benefit others.
