The apple logo will come on and occaisionally blink but the phone wont fully boot. I managed to get it to turn on and I unlocked my phone but it went back to the battery screen that comes on when your phone is dead. I plugged it in and put it in restore mode but I cant backup my files. I don't mind replacing the phone as long as there's a way to get the files from it.
Is this a good question?

try replacing the battery (hope its charged enough), if it stays on complete a back up. there are many variables.
try a new charge cord, or charging block
try a ipad charging block with the charger and see if it charges.
try a new battery or charge port
if you have a usb ampmeter connected to the charging cable and phone you can see if the phone is taking charge.
eliminate the easy stuff, you can disconnect the charge port and battery connectors and connect the new ones and see if the phone starts to charge.
hope this helps.

That's better! When you mainly ask question for clarification, then putting it in as a comment is the right thing to do. If you ask questions but propose solutions or ideas, then make it an answer.
Maybe you don't care about points so you don't see the difference ... but it has to do with how these questions and answers live their lives. Over years, some of these will garner dozens of answers and comments and when everything is out of sync, it makes it hard to follow for future fixers with problems to solve.
@refectio, gotcha I try and help when I can, and hope one day my input helps others like ifixit has helped me.
