   Hey all,

   I have 5 MT blogs (2,6) that I want to move, but some things have to happen ont he import:

   1) Post ID needs to be preserved

   2) it has to actually work (import-mt.php blows huge chunks all over my server)

   3) it needs to be PHP5 compatible

   Now, I could embark on writing one, a pur PHP / MySQL translator that doesn't much about with the MT export / import stuff (a bad, bad idea at the best of times) but I feel certain someone, somewhare is workign on something that actuallyw orks under PHP5 and doesn't suck :)

   Any pointers?

   Yes. And they don't help :)

   The import-mt.php script breaks horribly under php 5.x it seems and the matter of keeping the post ID's is somehting you have to hack on... now that I woudln;t mind if the first issue didn;t make workign on the script impossible :)

   i think it's similar with the symptom i've exprienced in php5.x
   i solved by modifying some code of import-mt.php as followings

   move the following 4 lines to right before line 49 "switch(...)"
   line 128~131:
   $newauthornames = array();
   $formnames = array();
   $selectnames = array();
   $mtnames = array();

   good luck.
