Database Dumps

[vba_php]

Has anyone ever done one of these, either with a web language or a dashboard panel? I just did my first one for a wordpress site and it spit out 438 pages of MS WORD content, which translated into 141,591 English words. Now that's massive! I can only imagine how big facebook's databases are. The last comment I made on that site had a [comment_id] in the URL's query string that was 30 bytes long!

No, and why?

I backed up the mysql database and deleted all of the irrelevant content records out because I've got a guy from China helping me with a wordpress bug that I found. He requested to see the URL I was talking about so he could help out, so I stripped everything off the domain except the page he requested to see. That way, he can't see what my plan is. It's the same strategy as a movie producer only showing the first 'x' pages of a script to the actors in the hopes that the ending won't be leaked on the internet before the film's release. I don't want anybody looking at what I've got until I make it available to the public. Especially somebody from China!

I suppose that is one way of doing it. Hope you get a solution.

we'll find one, no doubt. and to be honest, I didn't know any other way to prevent him from seeing my WIP!
