KeePassX XML Generator in PHP - Convert PWManager to KeePassX

I couldn't get KeePassX to import my PWManager files natively, so I needed a way to do this in a multi-step fashion (I want to use keepass format so I can have the same password program/database on my computer and G1). The easiest appeared to be:

Export from pwmanager as CSV
Custom script to convert from CSV to keepassx XML format
Import in keepassx

So this "step 2" was the problem.

I found a forum post on the keepass xml format, so the next step was writing something to convert it, and so we have the PHP KeePassX XML Generator.

Currently it's set up to convert the CSV file generated by pwmanager (entered on stdin, xml dumped on stdout). But I created a set of classes that should be easy to use for generating a valid keepassx xml file.

My suspicions about RoR appear to be vindicated; at least by one person anyway.

I've tried to read some examples and howtos about Ruby and Ruby-on-Rails. The language seems very elegant, but I always heard that it's slow and suspected that it's ability to do lots of different things was … read more
