 * Hey,
 * My predecessor (who was much better with php) setup a crm type site which draws
   from a php database that is fed inform. It’s gotten pretty huge now (20 thousand
   plus entries/rows) and it seems to have deleted all of the zip codes that have
   been entered, and is no longer writing zip codes to the file. The strange thing
   is that zip codes were written in the same column as postal codes, but only us
   zip codes were erased. Postal codes are still being written to the file, but 
   zip codes aren’t.
 * Could this be some strange type of file corruption? does anyone have any ideas?
 * Thanks.
 * Peter

 * at the risk of wasting time with comments that don’t actually help anyone…
 * the Miscellaneous forum says “almost anything else” so since wordpress runs on
   sql databases, and this runs on an sql database, and that this issue could also
   be applied to any wordpress form like contact form 7 that can write to databases.
   If you have to imagine this is a wordpress site that has a contact form written
   for it that writes to the database…
 * Since wordpress people would know all about these database issues, I thought 
   that maybe someone would be so kind as to assist me.
    Regardless, It has now 
   been solved.
 * Always a pleasure esmi…

 * Agreed. Almost anything to do with **WordPress**.
