How to work on project with two different computers using v11?

In PHPRunner version 11, you can still take your projects with you on a flash drive, just like in previous versions. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Locate Your PHPRunner Projects: On your main computer, navigate to the folder where your PHPRunner projects are stored. By default, PHPRunner stores your projects in the My Documents\PHPRunner Projects directory unless you specified a different location when creating your projects.

   
   

2. Copy Your Projects: Select the project folders you want to take with you. You can copy them to your flash drive by right-clicking and selecting “Copy,” then navigating to your flash drive and pasting them there.

   
   

3. Install PHPRunner on Your Laptop: Ensure that you have PHPRunner v11 installed on your laptop. You can download it from the PHPRunner website if it’s not already installed.

   
   

4. Transfer Your Projects: Once you have the projects on your flash drive, plug it into your laptop. Copy the project folders from the flash drive back to the same directory on your laptop (or wherever you prefer to keep them).

   
   

5. Open Your Projects: Start PHPRunner on your laptop and open the project by navigating to the folder where you pasted your projects. You should be able to open and work on them just like you would on your desktop.

   
   

6. Sync Changes Back: When you return to your desktop, make sure to copy any changes made on the laptop back to your desktop to keep everything synchronized.

   
   

By following these steps, you can easily move your PHPRunner projects between your desktop and laptop, allowing for seamless work continuation while you’re on the go.

Two main options here.

1. Export project on the first computer and import it on the second one.

   
   

2. Use v11.1 that supports SVN and git and it should be perfect for your scenario:

Earlier this year or late last year you had us store the projects to a SQL server database.

I just a got a new computer and want to set up the PHP runner to that database where all my projects are stored.

would you remeber the the instruction for it please?

Thank you,

This is exactly the same as I want to do, I did think about the external database on a mini pc but wouldn't work while I was away, I didn't want to store on the net due to speed and access issues. As Sergey has said, V11.1 sounds the ideal solution, this solves backup issues as well in case of drive failure so it's a win win.

Andreas Georgiou Here's the instructions on how to do that.

@Chris Whitehead thank you.

I am not sure i get it. The article say that do not connect two computers to the same database. We need the multivdevloper version.

so how to get my new machine point to the projects that my old machine did?

Please advice.

thank you,
Andrew

@Andreas There's a beta of v11.1 which is able to use git, you can then save and commit the project on one computer, then you can update the files on the other, this allows you to work on the same project on two different computers, not at the same time I must add, that is the multi dev version.

I've had a quick look and have it working on the laptop, tomorrow I'm going to set it up on the desktop so I can have a test on committing to git and updating after changes on both computers.

This sounds what you'll need, you want to do exactly the same as me, work on the desktop and then use the laptop when I'm away from home.

@Andreas Georgiou

I've tried the git commit/checkout on both the laptop and the desktop, appears to work well once I'd sorted git out, I'm going to also add a MySql backup button in the app so this dumps the database to the git folder, I can then sync the database at the same time, I will have to import the DB but it will allow me to work on the same project using the desktop and laptop when away from home or when I want an idle day to just stay in bed with the laptop.
