Help needed to use a Free Database File with some encryption

Discussion in 'Databases' started by princess21, Apr 26, 2013.

  1. #1
    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.

    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 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.
