Possible very cool PHP thing

Steve Koch 01:54, 30 January 2009 (EST): Hey Caleb, in our physics department, we have a PHP data base for all our demos. See: http://www4.unm.edu/physics/demos/demos.php?section=Mechanics. I wish it were a wiki so instructors could easily fix things. What do you think the prospects are for easily doing the following:

• I get you access to the existing data base. (Or send it to you, if that's possible, I have no idea what PHP is.)
• You write some kind of script or something to transfer all the data over to a MediaWiki thing, so that each entry is it's own page.

I have no idea if this would be too difficult. I thought perhaps it'd be easy, given that MW uses PHP, so that's why I'm asking. Thanks!

Media wiki note
