Thanks for your help. I solved them with your help. ^_^ I wanted to ask some
more questions here. As much as possible, I am getting fast responses. I hope
you would allow me. Thanks.

I have a problem in fetching the actual raw data or the original article text in
a wiki page.

I looked into the database table 'wbt_searchindex' in mediawiki. I fetch
'si_text' knowing that it's the right one in fetching the original text of an
article page. But, it's used for search function. What i wanted to fetch is the
original text so i could use it in my Bikol Thesaurus. 

-How can I fetch the original article text on a wiki page?
-In what database table is the original article text located?

In the 'searchindex' table, the 'si_text' contains the u800 unicode character. 

-What does u800 really means?

searchindex contains, well, the search index, which means it's not the
complete content and some things like short words and non-ASCII
characters get encoded so they can be found more easily. For getting
the content, you should do something like:

$title = Title::newFromText("Main Page"); // Or use some other way of
obtaining a Title object
$article = new Article($title);
$content = $article->getContent();

Note that getContent() has the annoying side effect of returning a
"This page does not exist"-like message if the page doesn't exist, so
you'll wanna check for $title->exists() as well.

The real text is stored in the table text, or in some location pointed
from there. Don't access the table directly!
You must create a Title, from which you instantiate an Article object
and call getContent() to retrieve its text.

A character outside of ascii which are escaped so mysql search can find it.
It's an implementation detail, you shouldn't touch the searchindex table
unless you're creating a search extension (also note that if the wiki

Thanks to you guys. ^_^ Yeepee! Finally, I tried the getContent() method and it
worked! Hmmm..now I am thinking if how will i use that method given the selected
titles that i'll be using from the database table wbt_page. The page_title has
underscores. I am thinking that i'll just strip off those underscores and
replace them with spaces so it will look like title. Is it right? I think that
there will be no differences with that, isn't it?

And also, thanks for the information on the u800.

Thanks. ^_^

You can use Title::newFromRow($row) to create a Title object from a
database row object.

I'll be trying the Title::newFromRow($row) method. ^_^ Thanks. I am thinking of
using a foreach loop right now. Is it right?

I tried using the Title::newFromRow($row) method. Some titles are not fetched.
Only some are displayed. I'll try to debug them. I hope you could still help me
with this.

Anyway, thanks a lot. ^_^

I am still working on the Title::newFromRow($row) method to fetch the article
titles. Anyway, how can i know the username logged in mediawiki? How can i use
it in the php code? I would like to insert that value to a table field in my
thesaurus.

Thanks.^_^

Thanks. I used the User object. So, I have something like this:
        global $wgUser;
        $user = $wgUser->getName();
	$wgOut->addHTML($user);

I have another question but it's about special pages. Can i change the layout of
a particular special page? I made a special page to be pop up window. I wanted
to make a new layout for it. how can i make it? is it possible?
