cags Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 That would depend how compatible the old and new systems are and also how you are storing those pieces of information. In theory assuming the items are stored in MySQL you could log in to PHPMyAdmin goto the export tab, export it to an SQL file, go to the new server and do the same only with the import tab. That's the best I can suggest without more details.

cags Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 To do it in PHPMyAdmin, make sure the table is selected, click the structure tab, tick the box next to the field you wish to change and then click the change button (it looks like a pencil).
