Okay, I'll explain what I'm trying to do.

These guys www.powpowpow.com have asked me to redesign their website for them. This is what I came up with:

http://student.cofa.unsw.edu.au/~z3186477/

(some of you may remember it from a couple of months back, when I was asking for some help finishing up some things)

So basically their site looks awful but they have a good database system in place. Does anyone know how to get all that information and code into the new page and then I can work from there to incorporate it all to be functional?

any help is appreciated



thanks

What type of database?
There are usually ways to do a dump of any database and recreate it on another server. See the database manual for instructions.

The way to "get all that information and code" into a page is to design the page as a database-driven webpage. But you appear (from your comments) not to have done that - so as far as I can see you need to start again. If you don't know anything about database programming I don't know how you can do this - in fact it would be much easier to start from their original functional database-driven pages, and change the surface html output accordingly. Basically, database support isn't something you glue in at the end.

http://powpowpow.com/ uses the Joomla! content management system, where the pages are created using PHP and content is stored in a MySQL database. I think it would be very difficult to port the site to a different content management system. With the cooperation of the current site owners, you could replicate the site on another server and tinker with that. But your student server space appears not to support PHP, and it's unlikely that MySQL databases are offered.

If the site owners are happy with the sample pages you've produced, perhaps they'll give you administrative access to the current site and you can adjust the page templates and style sheets which control its visual presentation. You may want to install Joomla! on a local server first, so that you can become familiar how it works.
