Help needed to use a Free Database File with some encryption

I downloaded a free database to see if the content is really useful but the file has a lot of non-printable characters (some kind of encryption) and I am unable to resolve this issue.
Its a .php file and I am unable to copy its content as well.

Does anyone has an idea how to extract information from such files?
Let me know in case you need more information to answer this.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Can anybody help me with this issue?

 

What do you mean by a "free database"? PHP scripts are not inteded to be "databases". If you provide me with a link to the file I may be able to identify what encryption is used.

 

I did a free database download from O d d i t y . They gave me a .php file.

I'l PM you the link.

I tried changing the format and encoding but no luck!

 

I got it. It's not a .PHP file. It's incorrectly downloaded as .php. Just rename the file to .ZIP and you'll be able to open it.

 

Cool Thanks! I was trying to rename as CSV , TXT.. Din't strike me at all..

Appreciate your help.
