admin flat line

[Lasa]

I made a register page with a series of custom fields.
If I go into Admin it show the basic stuff user name etc.
If I click on the edit it shows all the fields filled in etc, great so far but how do I download the information?
Cheers,

You cannot 'download' the information, but you can export the data from the database. This requires some MySQL knowledge.

I would need the MySql to download the entered info, even if it flat line...?

[Pablo]

I assume you mean 'flat file'?

No, in that case you can download the database file directly from the server.

[Lasa]

Any clue how?

Just enter the location of the file in the browser.

For example:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/usersdb.php

Thanks Pedro, I was able to retrieve it but its pretty much unusable "as-is"
Is there anyway to have it issued to a csv format?

The flat database is in CSV format.
However, it is not meant to be manually edited.

[Lasa]

Do you know of any way to get the input data in a usable csv form? or another bit of software that might help me?
Does MySQL help?
Thanks,
Lasa

[Pablo]

What exactly do you want to do with the data?

[Lasa]

Just need to retrieve the data in a traditional way to feed a csv file for use with blanket email to send invitations to members.
Right now the information isn't very friendly...

The database was not designed to be used this way. The purpose of the flat file is to store usernames/passwords so it can be easily read by the scripts.
If you have different requirements then you can implement this yourself.

I'm sorry, I cannot help you customization the code.

Lasa,

It sounds like you need a tool which will take the file and output what you need. It doesn't sound that hard to make.

If it's a CSV file, can you read it into Excel? I don't have one, so I don't know.
