Hi Russel
I assumed as much. I was hoping there was a tool available which someone had used and (or) what kind of stumbling blocks to run into.
Thanks again.
Kind Regards,
Shaun Clements

I can be simple or it can be hard.
It all depends on the complexity, and setup of the PHP scripts.
You may just need to change mysql_query for pg_query, the open and close
function, and it might just mostly work. However if you app has mysql specific
code, or you are using some complicated classes to manage it, it may be harder to
port.
Unless the application is known, it difficult to give any real analysis on the difficulty of
the task.
