WampServer

Hello

I have an old site that's running on Apache 1.3.26 php 4.2.3, Mysql 3.23.52

I need to rewrite the site's code so that it runs on the latest wamp server (Apache 2.2.21 Php 5.3.10 Mysql 5.5.20)

1- How difficult is this task? (300 php pages)
2- where do i start from? (I'm new to php)
3- Will I need to make changes in the DB?

Thanks

Kindly just point me to where to start from

Thanks

This is a HUGH question!!!!! Impossible to answer without seeing the code.

Here is my best guess.

Database: Backup the original and restore it to the new mysql server. Might just load with no problem.

Apache: probably no issues will arise from this upgrade.

PHP: just run the app and work your way through all the errors and deprecations.
Probably take you a couple of months but you will learn a lot on the way.

Thanks a lot, that's an excellent approach to start with...

Just loaded the DB, couple of minor issues...

Seems that the php will need most of the work

thanks again
