I shamelessly stole the php skeleton from a guy whose name escapes me but he wrote this clever php script for Minilogin support. Anyway, great job whatever your name was!
I wrote this quick for use with our world server at PEQ today and it seems to work well, but I advise you to backup your database before using this tool just to be safe.
What this does is clears all buffs from the character you specify. This does not fix the problem, but it does let you manage the issue until either KLS or myself identify the cause of this problem and implement a fix.
Anyway, use this at your own risk.
Code:
<?php
$DB_ADDY = ""; //address:port for the MySQL server
$DB_USER = ""; //username to login to MySQL with
$DB_PASS = ""; //password to login to MySQL with
$DB_DB = ""; //database name
?>
