need help

Unfortunately, if you have to ask, it's likely beyond your skillset.

The PHP files need to be deployed to a webserver that supports PHP (i.e., Apache). The SQL files will need to be used to generate the tables and schema for the application (most likely on MySQL). There is also likely a configuration file that includes the database connection string.

Something like this is free but will probably need a bit of customization/troubleshooting/fine-tuning. Take a look on rentacoder and other sites to see if you can pay someone a small fee for initial setup and ongoing maintenance.
 
yes its beyond my skillset.
Cant it be used locally?
It needs to work on 1 PC.
 
I decided to take a brief crack at it. Short answer: this is probably not worth getting running at this point. This application was apparently written 10 years ago- a lot has changed since.

I made some changes to the SQL script (syntax has changed since 2005) and was able to get that up pretty easily in MySQL. If you want to try running this in Windows, here's my edited, working version: http://pastebin.com/xV9aSKni

Download and install WAMP, then run it. Download and install MySQL Workbench. Open Workbench. Connect to localhost with the default settings. Paste the contents of that pastebin file into a query window, and execute.

Now go to C:\wamp (or wherever you installed wamp) and find the www directory. create a directory called "trucks" inside www. Inside trucks, paste the css, images, includes, and main folder from the application.

Open a browser, and go to http://localhost/trucks/main . This is where things go off the rails- the PHP code probably needs to be updated in numerous places to make it actually work.

If this is a priority and you're willing to invest some money having this application updated, or building a more modern tool from scratch, that's probably a better approach.
