a converter from WoWBB to MyBB

WoWBB to MyBB Converter:

This converter is a Command-Line PHP-Tool to convert a WoWBB-Forum to MyBB. It was just programmed for one-time-use and uploaded for portfolios-sake and so some values are hardcoded. In addition, the following things were neglected:

• Speed
• unused or less-used forum-functions like Attachments, Avatars

Used:

• Encoding.php from https://github.com/neitanod/forceutf8 (Revised BSD License)
• functions.php of MyBB 1.8.4 (LGPL License)
• PDO (included in PHP; extended by me)
• Modified version of 2 functions of PHPBB3-DBAL

My Goals while programming were:

• possibility to die everytime (for example when having unexpected values) and continue converting when restarting
• strict checks; instant die() when having unwanted values
• strict class-seperation (except the included mybb-functions)
