I had built static pages before and now I have to build my first dynamic page, I'll be using PHP and MySQL, for a testing server I'm using MAMP.
I have a couple of questions about this. Using this testing server, would I be able to show the pages to my client, do I need to upload the files to MAMP, I'm not sure how the whole thing works. I never used a testing server before.
Once that the site is finished and I'm ready to publish it, do I just define the remote info or is it anything else I need to do?
Drop everything into the htdocs folder. This then becomes your local site. Bring your whole site to htdocs from wherever you now have it located. Hope this helps.

Im using XAMPP. Im not so sure how to configure MAMP but im pretty sure that u have to transfer all the files in MAMP folder, your server folder.

Thanks for your help, do you know which folder exactly, there's MAMP folder, inside there is many folders, there is a bin folder that includes another mamp folder with css, different folders with different languages options...Do you know what folders I need to include?
Thanks

Got it, thanks.
After that I guess when I'm ready to publish, I'll define the remote server, right? and upload the files.

Right. Just think of moving from your local site to your remote
site. Where your site is located now is just to accommodate your test
server.
