itwCalendar Conversion

I'm converting the Matt Kruse Perl CalendarScript which uses flat files and is VERY complicated to edit to the Codewalker PHP Calendar which I found here. Thanks, this calendar was exactly what I was looking for.

My issues is that I need to take those flat files and somehow store them, in the correct format, into the mySQL table. There are over 500 entries, so you can see why I don't want to have to re-enter all of this code.

I'm a little bit above the beginning level as a PHP programmer, but not much, so please keep any terminology at the simple baby step level.

Well, without seeing the layout of those flat files, it would be hard to tell you exactly how to do it...but basically, you would just read the data in line by line from the flat files...then transform the data to match the format needed for the database, then insert each line into the database....

If I can find some time within the week, I will take a look at the flat files and see if I can't work up a script to do the conversion....

Matt,
Thanks for your great calendar! I've converted the old calendar. If you want, you can take a look at the link I left in your Message Center Inbox. However, you might want to write that conversion anyway, just in case you get someone else that wants to move that particular calendar to yours, since he is refusing to write a mySQL version.
Thanks,
Alisa
