    Hi, I started building a dating site 5 weeks ago and now want to move to better software, it was open during development stage and I now have 120 unexpected members!

    I need someone to move the usernames, pictures and passwords from the original database and import them into the new database, I have full FTP, SQL and My Admin access but I dont want to attempt it in case I get it wrong

    Can someone send me a quote please?
    Thanks

    If you have phpMySQL, just export the entire database to a sql file, then import it into the new database. Use a program like Filezilla to move the pictures - open the FTP site to the picture directory, copy them all to your computer, open to the new site and upload them to the picture directory. Aside from the actual file reading and writing (which can take minutes or hours), the whole thing is a 2 minute operation.

    A quote? If there are no gotchas due to the way your site is set up, $25 would be a nice payment for that work. It's basically copying some files.

    Nothing to purchase. If your host doesn't supply phpMyAdmin, you can download it for free. And Filezilla is also free.
