Analyze ZIP structure Paste project folders and files to detect project type.

Setup guide Get clear local setup steps for PHP, Laravel, Node, Python and more.

Database path Find SQL files, config files and database import steps.

Submission path Continue to documentation, ER diagram, viva and README tools.

Analyze Your Project Folder

Open your extracted project folder and copy the visible file names or folder tree. You can paste a simple list like config.php, database.sql, admin, index.php, assets, login.php. The more details you paste, the better the setup guide.

Project name Use the project title or folder name.

Known technology

Where do you want to run it?

Extracted folder name This helps generate the localhost URL.

Paste folder structure, file list or ZIP contents

What Is a Project ZIP Analyzer?

A project ZIP analyzer helps students understand what is inside a downloaded source code project before trying to run it. Many students extract a ZIP file and see folders like admin, assets, database, source, public, vendor or app, but they do not know which file to open, where the SQL file is, which config file controls the database, or what URL should be used in localhost.

Students usually get stuck because

The project folder is placed outside htdocs.
The SQL database file is not imported.
The database name in config.php is wrong.
The project has multiple folders and the real root folder is unclear.
The project uses Laravel, Node, Python or Android but the student tries to run it like normal PHP.
The README file is missing or too short.
The student does not know which file to explain in viva.

This tool helps identify

Likely project technology.
Main entry file or run command.
Database SQL file candidates.
Config file candidates.
Localhost URL or terminal command.
Common errors that may happen.

How to Copy Your Project Folder Structure

You do not need to upload the ZIP file. Just open the extracted folder and copy the file names you can see. If you know how to use a terminal, you can generate a folder tree. If not, simply type the visible folders and files manually.

Simple manual method

Extract the downloaded ZIP file.
Open the main project folder.
Write down visible folders and files.
Look for files like index.php, config.php, database.sql, package.json or artisan.
Paste the list into the analyzer.

Terminal method

If you are comfortable with terminal, run a folder listing command and paste the output.

Windows: tree /f Mac or Linux: find . -maxdepth 3 -type f

Project Setup Patterns This Tool Can Detect

Detected files	Likely project type	How it usually runs
index.php, config.php, database.sql	Core PHP and MySQL project	Place in htdocs, import SQL, open localhost folder URL
artisan, composer.json, routes, app, public	Laravel project	Run composer install, edit .env, run migrations or import SQL, use php artisan serve
package.json, server.js, app.js	Node.js project	Run npm install, configure .env, run npm start or node server.js
manage.py, requirements.txt	Django project	Create virtual environment, install requirements, run migrations, use python manage.py runserver
app.py, requirements.txt, templates	Python Flask project	Create virtual environment, install requirements, run python app.py
AndroidManifest.xml, build.gradle, app folder	Android project	Open in Android Studio, sync Gradle, run emulator or device
wp-config.php, wp-content, wp-admin	WordPress project	Place in local server, import database, update wp-config.php

Why This Tool Is Useful for Codezips Projects

Codezips has many source code projects that students download for learning, college submission, mini projects and final year projects. But downloading the ZIP is only the first step. Students still need to run the project, import the database, fix errors, understand code, create documentation, prepare viva questions and possibly upgrade the project with modern features.

Before setup: Use this tool to understand what kind of project you downloaded.
During setup: Follow the generated local setup steps and database guide.
After setup: Use Codezips tools to fix errors, explain code and create documentation.
Before submission: Generate ER diagram, viva answers, README and resume project summary.
For stronger projects: Use AI upgrade tools and security scanner to modernize old code.

Project ZIP Analyzer FAQs

Can this tool analyze an actual ZIP upload?

This version works by pasting folder structure and file names. A future premium version can support direct ZIP upload and deeper project inspection.

Can this help me run PHP projects in XAMPP?

Yes. If the pasted structure looks like a PHP and MySQL project, the tool generates XAMPP setup steps, htdocs folder guidance, database import steps and localhost URL suggestions.

How do I know which SQL file to import?

Look for files ending in .sql or folders named database, db, sql or backup. This tool detects those names and shows likely database file candidates.

What if my project has no database file?

The project may not use a database, the SQL file may be missing, or the database may need to be created manually. The generated report will suggest what to check next.

Can this tool detect Laravel, Node, Python and Android projects?

Yes. It checks common files such as artisan, package.json, manage.py, app.py, build.gradle and AndroidManifest.xml to estimate the project type.

What should I do after generating the setup guide?

Run the project locally, fix errors, import the database, generate ER diagram, explain the source code, create documentation, prepare viva answers and create a README.

From Downloaded ZIP to Completed Project

Codezips helps students move from downloaded source code to working project, database setup, documentation, viva preparation, security improvement, AI upgrade and career-ready portfolio presentation.
