I bought a website off of e-bay. Thinking it was in HTML format, instead I have a folder that contains about 900 PHP files. I currently have Yahoo sitebuilder and the site creator from 1&1. So I have plenty of domain names and web hosting available. I just don't know alot about how to build a website from scratch. Any suggestions on how to convert or what I need to do, to be able to use the PHP files.

Seeing that the site was developed with over 900 PHP files, i'm going to assume it is a database-driven website.

You'll need to have a web developer setup/configure the database in your web hosting environment, as well as the config.php files, and any other files that need to be configured to have the site function properly.

Without knowing exactly what kind of website it is and what functionality it has, it's difficult to determine everything that needs to be done.

If you can provide more information, I can provide further assistance. Hope that helps!
