Have your friend try this tutorial out.

Althought it turns out a little messy if you use the included layout files, it gives you the basic idea of it, and it helped me. It works, I've tried it. Just if he wants to use the basic scripts of this tutorial, I highly recomend adding some extra security to your php files. If you wanted, anyone could hack his whole website right now.. haha..

You say you need an install script, but what do you mean exactly?

If by saying "install script" you mean a script where you:

Have someone fill out some information (Such as MySQL connection data) and have it create a site's database tables then populate them with configuration data, or even creating a "configuration" file to be included after the installation has finished.

(I think I might have worded that a little weird, sorry.)

You could create something like that easily, using a little PHP with HTML(Forms), even a few MySQL queries. Your probably not going to find a tutorial really on somethign like this, since it's not exactly.. Hmm, the same thing for everyone. I would think this type of thing varies from "job to job".

Well is that what you are looking to create, or am I off by a lot?
