Yeah, I know that, but finding it/them is the trick!

Yes, an empty database.

Paying someone to do this was the
first thing I looked into. Much too expensive. Maybe if I win the lottery and decide to treat this as a loss making hobby rather than a business, but until then...No!

PC uploaded the database/s half way through things went wrong for him and he pulled out, that is why there is such a mess.

This I know, as I said finding it/them is the trick! I did wonder if the script was pulling from PC's old host, but his account was closed in February, and all files/databases deleted (the host has probably re-leased the server by now). I cannot see it being on anyone else's server, as PC's script states "localhost" which means it was pulling from his server when he ran the site, and is pulling from my server now (i.e. same domain as the script).
In short, I don't believe in magic, so te data has to be there. The fun part is finding it without destroying it.
