Hi guys, my friends are developing a website in php. Actually they are simply checking another similar existing site and developing the same features and functions just like a clone of that. What they did first is copying and reviewing the website which is guiding them to make the new one. There are many issues with database now. Could you please tell what are the things that have to be take serious care while doing similar projects. Are they moving on in the right way. Is it fare enough to get a good output by copying and rebuilding the code? What are the problems that may arise here? Thanks for your help. PS: Interested members can assist with us.
Well, whether the site is a clone or not is of no importance. What matters is this: - do your friends know how to do efficient database design? - can your friends build secure & fast code? etc etc.. If they don't, the project will fail.
It's hard to say if they're moving in the right direction, if there are issues with the database, what are the issues? Do any members of the team actually have a background in coding and data management?
