UPDATE phrase SET text='www.mybackup.com' WHERE varname='backup_server';

[kh99]

Looking at admincp/phrase.php, it looks like after it updates a phrase it redirects to admincp/language.php?do=rebuild. In the language.php "do == rebuild' section, it looks like it essentially does the following (without the HTML status stuff):

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/adminfunctions_language.php');

$languages = fetch_languages_array();
foreach($languages AS $_languageid => $language)
{
    build_language($_languageid);
}
build_language_datastore(); 


But I haven't tried it at all.

I guess that is the reason a simple UPDATE to the dB does not work.

...or it could be that, I don't know.
