An incremental GEDCOM import routine using AJAX
Registered by

I have written most of a new import routine that uses AJAX loading to import GEDCOM data. It runs for a few seconds and reloads to continue.
If it finds data with problems (e.g. ambiguous numeric dates), it stops to ask for user input.
The advantages are;
It only loads a small part of the gedcom into memory (eliminating memory errors)
It only operates for a few seconds at a time (eliminating time-limit errors)
Data is held in a LONGTEXT column in the wt_gedcoms table (eliminating the need for temporary files)
The process can be paused/resumed.
It also allows you to load data with a different filename (at last!), so you can import a file called myfamily-
