PHP5 SQL dump into PHP vB installation

[jadkar]

^^^^

Are you kidding me

I haven't even tested these yet but the fact that you put together some scripts for me to try blows me away!!! I genuinely appreciate your help with this. I will try right away.

Thanks again!!

I'm sorry just some clarification questions.....

1) I made a new dump from PROD and imported it into DEV.

2) I moved your scripts into my "root" forum directory.

Now, do you just want me to run this script from a browser? or do I need to load it as a plug-in or something to that matter. I'm assuming you just mean from a browser, but I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting a 404 right now while doing that, I figure I'll just verify my actions with you first and trouble-shoot the 404 after.

Trigunflame - It worked!!!

Thanks so much, huge help. I wish I could give rep points here!!! :banana:


On more thing, I hate to make you work some more however I really would love to understand as well as fix

What exactly was the issue? I understand it's a template table, however when I did a "find/replace" I messed everything up. Were there ".php5" extentions that still needed to stay in the dump even though I'm not using php5? I assumed that by replacing all I would be all set, obvioudsly I was wrong.

THanks again
