Obtain Hosting Address and FTP Account

First, log in to your hosting control panel and obtain the hosting address. Then create an FTP account in the file management section and record the account and password.

Package PHP Source Code

Compress all PHP files and related resources (such as images and configuration files) into a ZIP or TAR file for easier upload and management.

Upload to Hosting

Use an FTP client (such as FileZilla) to connect to your hosting, and upload the packaged source code to the designated directory.

Set File Permissions

Make sure PHP files have permissions set to 644 or 755, and directories set to 755 or 775, to ensure the application runs correctly.

Create Database (Optional)

If your PHP application requires a database, create one in your hosting control panel and record the database name, username, and password.

Configure PHP Application (Optional)

Edit configuration files (such as config.php) according to your application's needs, filling in database connection information or other necessary parameters.

Access PHP Application

Enter the hosting address in a web browser to access your uploaded PHP application. If the page displays correctly, the source code has been deployed successfully.

Notes

Ensure the uploaded source code is complete and free of syntax errors.
The hosting environment must support PHP.
If using a database, configure the database connection information correctly.
Regularly check and update the source code to improve security and stability.
