Chrome

Recovering a lost session (it’s not possible, Chrome does not make copies of the “Current Session” and “Last Session” files), otherwise than being fast at the first startup after a crash. Session data is stored at AppData/Local (not Roaming as %AppData% points to)
%AppData%\..\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
In my last crash, I also had a “Default” folder inside the “Default” folder, containing session and history files.

Back up whatever is left of the session and history files. The files of interest is “Current Session”, “Last Session” and “History”. The “History” file is your last resort to recover, it could contain many months of visited pages and there is no way to tell which of those was in currently open and lost tabs.

Copy the “History” file to a real operating system which have sqlite3 available. Open the “History” database:

sqlite3 History

In sqlite3, set up csv export mode and filename:

.headers on
.mode csv
.output my-chrome-crash-history-timesort.csv
SELECT datetime(last_visit_time/1000000-11644473600,'unixepoch','localtime'), url FROM urls ORDER BY last_visit_time DESC;
.output my-chrome-crash-history-urlsort.csv
SELECT datetime(last_visit_time/1000000-11644473600,'unixepoch','localtime'), url FROM urls ORDER BY url;

Examine the files by your favorite calc program (LibreCalc).

How to Convert MySQL to MySQLi PHP Code to Upgrade to PHP7 Doing the PHP MySQL MySQLi Migration

https://www.phpclasses.org/blog/package/9199/post/3-Smoothly-Migrate-your-PHP-Code-using-the-Old-MySQL-extension-to-MySQLi.html

This is my (very rough) method, search and replace in all .php and .inc files using Perl. To re-use my code, you HAVE to make modifications and take a backup of every .php and .inc file in case somwthing goes wrong.

I converted one project at a time, these commands were used for my Amiga user’s database, so some commands will reflect specific changes/searches I did in the code to find lines to change, I also did some mistakes and corrected those. Read the commands before you try these on your code:

find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep -l mysql_numrows {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_numrows|mysqli_num_rows|g' {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_num_rows|mysqli_num_rows|g' {} \;

find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_selectdb|mysqli_select_db|g' {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_select_db|mysqli_select_db|g' {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep mysqli_select_db {} \;
#
# Change to match your database name and the MySQL connection link (db name and calling parameters found above)
# Using mysql_select_db, the MySQL link identifier was optional, and sent as the second parameter
#  with mysqli_select_db it is required as a first parameter
#
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep 'db("minimig_reg",\$link' {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep 'db("minimig_reg")' {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|db\("minimig_reg",\$link|db\(\$link,"minimig_reg"|g' {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|db\("minimig_reg"\)|db\(\$link,"minimig_reg"\)|g' {} \;

#
# mysqli_connect returns the link identifier and also requires the database name as the fourth parameter, add it manually after this replacement
#
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep mysql_connect {} \; 
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_connect|mysqli_connect|g' {} \;  

find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep mysql_error {} \;    
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_error()|mysqli_error(\$link)|g' {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysqli_error\(\$link\)\(\)|mysqli_error\(\$link\)|g' {} \;

find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep mysql_insert {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_insert_id\(\)|mysqli_insert_id\(\$link\)|g' {} \;

find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep mysql_query {} \;  
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_query\(|mysqli_query\(\$link,|g' {} \;

find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_fetch_assoc|mysqli_fetch_assoc|g' {} \;

find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep mysql_fetch_array {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_fetch_array\(\$result\)|mysqli_fetch_array\(\$result,MYSQLI_BOTH\)|g' {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_fetch_array\(\$result_migs\)|mysqli_fetch_array\(\$result_migs,MYSQLI_BOTH\)|g' {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_fetch_array\(\$result_info\)|mysqli_fetch_array\(\$result_info,MYSQLI_BOTH\)|g' {} \;

find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep mysql_real_escape_string {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_real_escape_string\(|mysqli_real_escape_string\(\$link,|g' {} \;

find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep mysql_affected_rows {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_affected_rows\(\)|mysqli_affected_rows\(\$link\)|g' {} \;

The include files (mostly the same command lines):

find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec grep -l mysql_numrows {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_numrows|mysqli_num_rows|g' {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_num_rows|mysqli_num_rows|g' {} \;

find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec grep '"minimig_reg",\$link' {} \;   
find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec perl -pi -e 's|"minimig_reg",\$link|\$link,"minimig_reg"|g' {} \;

find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec grep mysql_connect {} \; 
find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_connect|mysqli_connect|g' {} \;  

find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec grep mysql_error {} \;    
find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec perl -pi -e 's|mysql_error\(\)|mysqli_error\(\$link\)|g' {} \;

find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec grep mysql_insert {} \;

find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec grep split {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.inc' -exec perl -pi -e 's|split\(|explode\(|g' {} \;
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec grep split {} \;

Missing function mysqli_result (to replace mysql_result)

function mysqli_result($res,$row=0,$col=0){
    $numrows = mysqli_num_rows($res);
    if ($numrows && $row <= ($numrows-1) && $row >=0){
        mysqli_data_seek($res,$row);
        $resrow = (is_numeric($col)) ? mysqli_fetch_row($res) : mysqli_fetch_assoc($res);
        if (isset($resrow[$col])){
            return $resrow[$col];
        }
    }
    return false;
}
