Data Migration Podcast
I’m the guest on this week’s php|abstract podcast from DevZone, talking about some techniques for importing and migrating data. I have a few pet strategies for dealing with this and they’re outlined on the podcast so dip in and let me know what you think.
There will also be a follow-up article to go with it – showing some code examples, because sometimes its easier to think of things when they are written down.
I’ve got 5000 pages of unstructured HTML to migrate, can you help? ;-)
Mike: For a reasonable fee, I’m sure I can!! Actually if you haven’t heard it already then listen to Matt’s php|abstract episode – about parsing messy HTML and doing something with it. Its aimed at screen scraping but I’d probably use the same approach if I was going to get into a project like this.
Thanks Lorna and dotjay, that’s useful.
