moneytree Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi everyone, Good day to you. I would like to make changes on my exisitng webform on my site,it will involve in downloading files and unloading it back to webserver after it had edited.However,I don't know how to carry out this task in order to get it done over my computer. Please kindly advice the following : 1 ) Do I need to run any software for downloading the webform code ? 2 ) Which files to download for editing of my existing webform ? 3 ) I want to do backup,which ones to backup ? It is for the purpose of getting back my original site if something goes wrong after the editing task failed. 4 ) How to carry out the testing after the replacement of new html code ? I am sorry for posted this queries to you as this is my first time to carry out this task. Thank you. Manicui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 1: You'll likely need an ftp client to connect to your web server and download the files. 2: This depends completely on what files your webform uses. There is no convention. 3: See above. 4: If it is pure html you can simply open it within a browser to view your changes. If however it uses php, you will either need a webserver installed on your local machine (I'de recommend apache) or you'll need to upload it back to your server in order to view the changes.

trq Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Your form posts to a perl script. This is a php forum. Any changes you make to your form will also need to be reflected in the script your form posts too. Id'e say you best find yourself a perl forum.
