    Hi everyone,

    I have recently been asked by a client to duplicate and re brand a website. The site is entirely PHP based and contains a blog, member login and so on.

    My client owns the site and therefore I have access to the cpanel and server etc.

    I was wondering if anybody could give me some advice on how to go about copying the site and databases?

    The new site will then be being hosted else where and have a different look and feel but similar functionality.

    Thanks very much for any advice in advance,
    Chris

    Well if you have access to the php code just copy and paste and recreate the logic behind it. If you don't have the code you will have to code it from scratch.

    There are many ways to accomplish this. It depends on your knowledge and your skills.

    One is to download the PHP files from the old server to your local computer via FTP and upload them to the new server. As for the database, you can create a dump of your MySQL database using phpmyadmin and restore the database dump to your new server.
