PHP website and its database backup

Question

Hi,

I have a website that was built for me in php language. Now I am studying how to build sites like that and I wish to use mine to practice. But I am afraid of making a mistake and losing it. So, here is my question:

I want to copy my website and database from my hostgator host to my localhost(xampp) , to play and practice in it without taking the risk of losing it.

I’ve already copied my public.html file from the ftp to my htdocs file.
From here, I am not sure what to do. Can you help me ???

Since now, thanks for the attention! =)

Answer 1

Pode ser que seja necessário criar o database no PHPmyadmin ou importar se tiver o arquivo SQL pronto, te aconselho ver algum vídeo no YouTube tu vai entender melhor

Answer 6

Put all of them in a paste on htdocs after it you need to see the configs of database, maybe you need to set to localhost and need to see if you have the database

Answer 7

If don't you need to create it, but you need to analyse the code, take a look in some article PHP database configuration

Answer 8

Opa! Falo sim, Kian ( sou brasileiro...rs). Show! Tem algum arquivo padrão do php que seja responsável por isso?
