Hi everyone,
Ok, I need serious help. I have been handed a project by my boss to convert
an existing site that was built using ColdFusion / SQL into a site that will
use PHP / mySQL. The site relies heavily on calls to the database for
everything from site content, to an admin area where you can edit that
content, to a news ticker, to the actual navigation of the site.
What's the problem? I have one week to do this. Oh, and did I mention that I
know VERY little about PHP / mySQL. I know NOTHING about ColdFusion or
MSSQL. And to top it off, the site in question contains over 300 .cfm files!
Does anyone have any idea how I could pull this off?
Even if I had a working knowledge of ColdFusion, MSSQL, PHP, mySQL...still
one week isn't enough time to retool a site of this proportion. Especially
considering that I don't understand any of the code that I'm staring at.
I've been a web designer for about five years now. Notice I said "designer"
not "developer". I want to learn PHP / mySQL but in order to complete this
project I also need to understand ColdFusion in order to replicate the site
functionality. Any advice on what I should do?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Chris
