if its hosted on the same server you won't need to change the database - just design the site and have it pull data from the existing one....saves all the messing about :thumbs:

is the original database in access??

whatever its in, really you can just export what you need to a csv file, and then straight into the mysql database with a little script, and just go from there!

as james said, aslong as the structure is there, its pretty simple!

Providing you keep the table structures the same, yes it will be very easy.

Right, basically I am doing a PHP/MYSQL website for a new and used car company for my Uni project.

The company currently has a website which has a database of cars of what they have available on it, but the website is complete crap, so I am starting from scratch with a new design etc, but then the intention is to import that database in to the website's design.

Will it be (relatively) straight forward to import that database into the new site or not?
