I've posted a few msgs over the pas tfew months. Looking for solid
input on whether anyone has used AI to actually clone a laravel/php
site?
Did it work at all for you? Which site did you target? Was it
pretty much just front end? Routes/Views/VControllers?
Are you trying to do this from the client/front-end side or do you
have access to the back-end source?
As php is server-side you won't get the php code from a front-end
approach. You'll get whatever is being written out to the pages for
browser rendering/action (what you see with a ctrl-u in most
browsers). This will be the html, including style detail, links etc,
embedded javascript and whatever other client-side things are bring
written out, but not the base php source and related.
If you have access to the source, then I'd do a "cp -pr" and go from
there.
In either case, you need to understand and respect the relevant
licensing. There are licensing rules even for "open source" material.
