Details
fetchText.php file is a maintenance script to fetch a particular revision text from an old_id.
This is used by dumpTextPass.php when the --spawn option is present.
This is an interactive script.
Options/Arguments
This script does not take any options or arguments as it is an interactive script.
Usage
php maintenance/run.php fetchText
In MediaWiki version 1.39.12 and earlier, you must invoke maintenance scripts using
php maintenance/scriptName.php instead of php maintenance/run.php scriptName.Provide a text id (old_id from the text table) or an external storage URL followed by a newline, and the script will output a string containing the following in order:
- The ID or URL provided
- length of text (-1 on error = failure to retrieve/unserialize/gunzip/etc)
- text (may be empty)
Terminal
{{#parsoid\0fragment:0}}
The text string itself is *not* followed by newline. You can exit from the script by typing Ctrl+C.
Since revisions can be deleted without the actual revision text being removed, this script can also return text that is no longer associated with any revision at all (it may be a current, historic or deleted revision).
