I have a customer here at the computer shop.  Their pc took a !@#$% but the hard drive is good.  I load it into the work pc to grab what they wanted.  They want a receipt database.  Here's the problem.

The guy that programed it for them, set it up in mysql...
I like I found the database itself.  It is a huge ass text document with hundreds of date entries and it stops the day the pc crashed.  The thing is that that is all I can read is the location it was transferred from or saved from and the dates....nothing else.  It is in some weird ASCII coding or something.
I need to translate or figure out how to get all the customers from there.
The kid had the computer set up as a LOCALHOST and ran Swamp and Apache and it was kinda like a webboard on the computer but only for adding customers...The pc was never ever plugged into the internet at all,so nothing is on an external resource.

*phew*

Anyone think they can help me out?  I can give more information or attach the text document if you need it.

If the whole hard drive is good, can't you just put into a new pc and boot up and use the database like you're meant to?

If not, and you've got the database intact, try loading it into a similar setup. Or maybe upload the database here so we can try and turn it into something more usable.

I attached the file below.  It is the text document I was talking about...
I am uploading all the sql webboard !@#$% to my site and will provide an external link...

The way the guy had it set up was he would click on this shortcut that would take him to:
http://localhost/blah blah blah/etcetcetc/...

See what I am saying?

The swamp.rar folder has all his stuff in it for the phps and stuff...
I really know nothing about it so this is a learning experience for me.
I'll edit this when everything else is uploaded.

EDIT: here are the folders I RARed...His stuff is in /Swamp/www
oops bad folder...let me try again.
Here it is: http://refgc.sitesled.com/swamp.rar
