As some of you know, Wikipedia makes it possible for users to download their entire database, full or articles etc of the Wikipedia Encyclopedia. The Download can be found here: [download.wikipedia.org...]
I did download one of this files, but for the Wikionary database, meaning I have a very big XML file (about 60-100 MB) with all the database (A Database Dump of the WikiMedia servers) from the Wikionary site (en.wikionary.org). It has all the words in the "Wikipedia Dictionary", but the XML file is too big and not really human readable. I was wondering of there is a way to convert this and put in my MySQL Database, so I can create new PHP files in Dreamweaver and interpret the Database data in a new way using my own web site.
NOTE: Wikipedia content is free to use, if I cite the source of course, so don't worry about copyright violation here. All I need to know is how to parse or convert this huge XML file and put in a MySQL Database to use PHP and make it human readable on my site.
I downloaded the Wikionary database first, because its not as big as the Wikipedia Article, just for simplicity's sake. When I succeed putting this file on my Database, I might do the same with the Wikipedia Data Dump.
Thank you for your help! I've tried searching the forums, but it seems like no one had ever asked that question before. Hopefully you guys can help me on this one. Thank you.
As these will help you work through the content.
I will try these links. Thanks a lot!
However, the XML file is very big. I am using Dreamweaver to create my website, and trying to open that big file on Dreamweaver never happens, it just freezes the whole program. :(
That's why I first need to put the data of this Wikipedia Data Bump XML file in my Database, is that possible?
