First of all, I have successfully uploaded a project to a 1und1.de account! It sits in a separate folder on a Wordpress based site. I was amazed that it also works online even twice as fast as my localserver with Xampp on a new Windows 7 machine.
But, now I must go and add or modify pages online. I have made several updates and I was impressed with how easy it was to FTP and that it really did only update the pages that actually changed from the last build.
However, some scarey issues have come up that make me want to go slowly--- I need to understand better how PHPRunner is saving versions.
I do NOT want to lose or corrupt an existing project which is working well in one area as I think that I am updating or modifying things in another area. I have 6 sets of users-- admin being one. PHPRunner creates 6 complete sets of Add, Edit, View...etc pages for each user and I want to be careful not to accidentally overwrite a "working user page set" as I make changes to others.
So, I thought I would use the old "Save As.." backup option. I open up my last working project and then as I make changes in the Page Editor, etc, I SAVE AS an Alternate Version - a project which opened as "ApomaxxLastOnline21145" I do intermittent SAVE AS "ApomaxxLastOnline21145Tues" or something equivalent as I make changes on pages in the Editor, etc.
Then in the Output section I change the folder names to reflect my SAVE AS naming and set the final browser setting for "http://localhost/ApomaxxLastOnline21145TUES/output/"; instead of the previous value of the project as I opened it --http://localhost/ApomaxxLastOnline21145/output/
I do another SAVE AS using "ApomaxxLastOnline21145Tues" and then hit Build.
But, this is spooky because PHPRunner keeps holding on to just a few projects. When I close the program and open it next time it does not pick up the other versions as OPEN PROJECT OPTIONS.
To believe PHPRUnner I am missing all these other versions--I have to use the browser to go look it up EVEN THOUGH each Project is being saved in the same directory path as the projects PHPRunner does recognize in the Open Project panel.

And now I have an issue that after I have defined my ONLINE connection and used it after a build if I open up the same project again to work on it with localhost I select the default database setting instead of my named online connection, the same default setting that enables PHPRunner to connect with the local tables, and after a build I can no longer connect. I get connect errors.
I check the dbcommon.php file and it looks exactly the same as the one used for an earlier project which works. It has the same localhost info that PHPRunner itself is using successfully to work with my project tables.
Is there someting special we are supposed to do if we want to switch back and forth between working on the same project either online or offline on the localhost?
