1,683 PointsHow do I (properly) set up a workspace?
I am currently working on the "Build a Basic PHP Website" course, and am on its "Setting Up the Project" section.
It appears that I'm not setting up the workspace properly. I clicked on "Launch Workspace", and the workspace opened up, but that workspace (in a separate window) looks different from the one shown in the video (and/or the next section's video). The video shows an index.html file with code in it, but I have an index.php file instead, and it's empty. Also, some other files are missing.
I tried downloading the project files (that are delivered in a .zip folder), and unzipped that folder. I speculate that I'm supposed to somehow import those unzipped files into my current workspace. Is that correct? If so, what's the most elegant way to do it? I didn't find a clear answer in the video.
I'd greatly appreciate a reply. Thanks. Daniel K. Stuntz.

4,312 PointsIf you have unzipped the folder, you can attach the files to your workspace by click and drag each file to the bottom left corner of the workspace. You still need to create css and image folders on your workspace and organize the files under each folder.
