wondering if this would work?

[phphelp!]

I am trying to create a page based off an already existing page developed by someone else.

My question is, could I take a database copy it exacted only changing the names of the databases in mysql, and in the code copy it and every where the first database is referenced change it to the second?

I tried that and I have been getting errors. Is this not possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
