DESCRIPTION

This program allows the user to update the tester addresses database, or search it, based on a restricted set of criteria.

SCHEMA

The schema for the MySQL database is below:

CREATE TABLE ixaddress (
    id          int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
    addressid   int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (id)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

CREATE TABLE tester_address (
    addressid   int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
    testerid    int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default 0,
    address     varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    email	varchar(255) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (addressid)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

CREATE TABLE tester_profile (
    testerid    int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
    name	varchar(255) default NULL,
    pause	varchar(255) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (testerid)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

The address field is the same as the tester field in the cpanstats table, while the email field is the extracted email address field only.
