Re: Importing a full php+mysql site

A PHP / MySQL site consists of:

1. The PHP + HTML scripts, which you can FTP on the server
2. The Database itself.

You can create the Database through your CPanel. Then, if you have taken a MySQL dump from theold database, you can import it in the new one, to create all necessary tables and populate it with the data.

The scripts usually include a "config.php" file that holds the database details, which you will need to update.

The procedure might be slightly different depending on the how these scripts have been designed by your programmer. It takes some knowledge doing this, so you might want to ask your programmer to do this.
