Some text is stored compressed in the databases, and some is on external storage, a feature of MediaWiki which Wikimedia sites use; this is not available at the present time.

Hi all, For a toolserver-project I will read all Wikipedia (pwiki_de) articles and parse them for geoinformation. After some troubles I've fixed now nearly all bugs, but I have still some troubles with opening the articles.
I open the article with the help of the mediawiki functions in the following way: $title = Title::newFromID($page_id); $art = new Article($title); $text = $art->getContent(true);
For some articles this work quite well, but for some it doesn't return text. I think there's a problem with the compresion of the database (in a local enviroment with a wikipedia dump it works), but I could't find out a workaround. Any suggestions?
