    Hello

    2.50 (release version) works fine for me in index mode, but trying to  get it working on my system in sql mode gives the following error message when I try to import the gedcom

    Reading Gedcom File ../php1.GED
    Flushing contents
    ERROR:Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
    SQL:INSERT INTO pgv_other VALUES ('HEAD','php1.GED','HEAD','0 HEAD 1 SOUR GENBOX 2 VERS 3.1.3 2 NAME Genbox Family History 2 CORP Thoughtful Creations 3 ADDR PO Box 112077 4 CONT Cincinnati, OH 45211 4 CONT USA 1 DATE 11 SEP 2003 2 TIME 22:54:38 1 SUBM @SM1@ 1 FILE D:\\My Documents\\D4Web\\php1.GED 1 GEDC 2 VERS 5.5 2 FORM LINEAGE-LINKED 1 CHAR ANSEL ')

    I guess this is probably me being very stupid, but how do I fix it?  Index mode finds that file path to the same gedcom, so I am assuming that is not the issue.

    Many thanks for all your superb work

      Julia,
      I remember having the same problem a while ago. I think I solved it by manually dropping the tables in the database. What you have left then, is an empty database without tables in it and creating the tables from within phpGedview should work correctely then.
      Hope this helps!
      Boudewijn.

      Hi Julia and Boudewijn

      I also experienced this particular problem, and I also solved just like Boudewijn by manually dropping the tables from my phpMyAdmin interface, but I think it would be a better solution if John would consider changing the setup_database() function so that phpGedView will drop existing tables when needed.

      best regard

      As Arne suggested, I've created a patch that will automatically detect if the tables are old and drop them.  You can download it here:
