Started migrating the old “Discussion Board”
The old "Discussion Board" I wrote totally myself (that’s why it wasn’t protected against false, spam-like entries…) and stored all information of the entries in a csv-file (exept the message itself, which I saved each in it’s own file…
With a little perl script I created an xml-file, but this time the Timestamp created a little more trouble, since I saved it over the years in different formats which the script had to recognize so it could apply the correct regular-expression to extract the day, month, year, hour, minute and second information.
The next difficulty was, that I used after a certian time the php-functions htmlspecialchars and urlencode to save the subject and the message itself. I decided to handle this with the php-script.
Well testing the results has to wait ’til tomorrow…
