    You'll have to ask a more specific question to get help here. If you want to hire someone to do this, you're welcome to post in the paid work requests section, but the amount of work required to explain everything about how to use that script is simply too much for free help.

    It sounds like you've recently decided to start working on serious PHP projects. That's good, but it also will require a significant amount of learning (and work) to get there. You're welcome to post specific questions here as you do that, but there's no real way around all of it.

    In this case, yes, you may need a new database. Alternatively you could modify your current database to allow this, and probably modify the script as well so it looks for those tables in this database. It would take me a while to figure it out looking at the script, so just do your best and ask a specific question if it comes up.

    I looked at the script earlier. It is a bit dated with some deprecated php variables. When I first ran it I encountered an infinite loop. After maybe 30 minutes I stopped playing around with the script. In other words the script needs a bit of work. This is one of the primary reasons I don't install most scripts and just write my own.

    I agree with James-- it might be a better use of your time to look for a newer/better script, or possibly to just learn how to do this yourself. Trivia scripts (at least in general) aren't especially difficult (although they will require learning something new). It's a good way to practice.
