i did it with REPLACE():

UPDATE `articles` SET `title` = replace(`title`,'ä','ä');
UPDATE `articles` SET `title` = replace(`title`,'ö','ö');
UPDATE `articles` SET `title` = replace(`title`,'ü','ü');

… worked with all my old tables

OK … so what can you use sqlite for? Let’s assume you are developing a database driven app. Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to set up a mysql server on your laptop to be able to code on localhost whereever you are?

With SQLite you only need one *.db file and your ready to run!

$database = new SQLite3('test.db');

That’s all it takes to make a new SQLite object in PHP.

The SQLite code is actually verry similar to MySQLi object code. I like it. Hopefully you do to

MIGRATE `some`, `product`, `tables` FROM `different sources` WHERE `someone apparently typed letters in fields that were supposed to hold numbers only`;

Only problem: the table holds nearly 3000 rows.

So I used a regular expression:

SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE `price` REGEXP '[:alnum:]';

It took 0.0434 sec for MySQL to identify the badboys

So I made a list of things that I thought would be necessary:

• CRUD
• fast site
• statistics
• lookup service
• user accounts
• easy interface

There are a few services out there that are great but I wanted to have something better.

Approximately 2 weeks ago I started to work on my own link service.

The goal is to make a site that has all the necessary things and is also very extend-able, reliable and brings in new innovations.

I hope to launch the site for official beta testing on Jul 10.

1. I browsed to /libraries/joomla/environment
2. I opened uri.php in gedit
3. finally I replaced all $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] with “www.???.com”

i know it’s not good programming.

in fact it’s horrible but it worked for me
