I hate having to change the whole script on multiple pages if i want to change diallers etc.....i assume the scriptwriter made it so that you cant just change the dialler url etc.
On ordinary links/text search and replace is fine....but its dodgy with scripts.

It's hard to describe how to learn it. I've been doing this shit for 30 years so I just look through the code for certain things and then fiddle with them. But the 3o years has made it so I can read just about any code any kind of figure out my way through it.
Now, teaching how to code, that's a simpler one

I know exactly where to start on that kind of shit. Once you have a couple of languages under the belt, it makes it easier to go in and start modifying stuff.
So, my way of reccomending how to do it would be to first learn some coding, some simple logic structures, a little bit of database and then you are equipped to go in and start playing with the code.
Now, if you are a good self starter, you could open up the script, pull up a language reference for whatever it's in and then just dissect the sucker. You do that to 2 or 3 scripts and you will probably have a much better idea of what you are looking at.
and just in case... Always make a copy of the script first
