New Database
After about 8 hours of typing php (4 last night and 4 this morning) I made a parser that took the existing timeline pages and made them into a mySQL insert file so I can manually review it .. big regexp can be big problem .. Then I changed the parser that turns the timelines templates into the pages on this site to work from this new database table. As things stand now the new database, with only text data for about 50 items, is working.
Things that /may/ work are the BC dates, I rewrote parts pertaining to going backwards, I'm pretty sure it will work, after I test and fix the inevatable errors it will cause.
The finished database, which never got exposure on timelines will be about 20,000 individual items. I have to rewrite a few things to take what is left of my xml databases to include them in I can make phpmyadmin import them but I'd feel better writing something myself .. after this long mess it wouldn't take very long.
There is a hunk of data that I've lost, things that were in the main XML file that were not on the site nor in the original sub XML files.
On the much suckier side, I've got to go to work for 8 tonight at the store then 8 again in the morning. It is at these times I regret getting a real job for exercise so I'm not sitting in front of the computer all the time.
