zMud Database File
 
Hey, i'm looking for a way to link my zMud database files to a website for direct editing (through a mass export/import) and was wondering if this is even possible using unmodified copies of the *.db files that zMud generates for its databases. I'm trying to use PHP to do the porting, but so far, the only piece of code that even remotely seems to do something is
Code:
$id = dba_open("itemDB.db", "r", "flatfile");
and thats only because it doesn't generate an error when i try to run it :S

The zMUD database isn't a real database. The *.db files are a binary format and you won't be able to get the data out of them. The database module will be rewritten for CMUD later this summer and will use a standard SQL database format that will make access via PHP much easier.
