Can you please explain how to run that script to me? I use windows and tried to run it like:
G:\php\php.exe G:\opera25_to_html_bookmarks.php

I have no idea how to do any of this.

It says:

Warning: file_get_contents(): Filename cannot be empty in G:\opera25_to_html_boo
kmarks.php on line 61

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in G:\opera25_to_html_bookmarks
.php on line 66

Warning: file_put_contents(): Filename cannot be empty in G:\opera25_to_html_boo
kmarks.php on line 80

You also have to provide in the command line the file that contains the bookmarks in a json format. It's placed on your opera folder, and it's a file called, literally, Bookmarks, without extension.

Usage: php opera25_to_html_bookmarks.php /path/to/opera/folder/Bookmarks output_file.html

Hey, this script is something I have desperately been looking for, but just to make sure, in windows 7 home premium 64 bit, where do I type php opera25tohtmlbookmarks.php /path/to/opera/folder/Bookmarks outputfile.html ?

and.....when the html bookmarks file is created, how do I import it in opera 24?

To clarify, Opera 25 is crashing my old pc big time so I need to revert back to opera 24, but I want to make sure I export all the bookmarks first.

Thanks for any help?

You need to install PHP for Windows first. Never tried it myself and have always been using a Linux box to do it (or you can set up a virtual machine) but there are PHP binaries for the Windows platform out there as well. Just google it. After you've installed it open a command prompt and type the commands in it.

I've written a bookmark export/import extension for Opera
that can export (backup) bookmarks, or import bookmarks from Chrome,
but it's not reviewed or approved yet, hopefully in the next couple days:

Hei! I have been frustrated about the fact that bookmarks management was way easier in previous versions of Opera, as far as I remember.

However, I found an extension that I hope can help those of you who want a simple solution.

Look here:

SUPER-EASY TO USE

Copying files is absolutely no problem. I can do it in 8 different programming languages myself. I doubt anyone finds that task over whelming . What makes it hard is listening to less than stellar answers and trying to use them to do it. Just the few I read "its in the opera folder". Well unfortunately in PCs it has 4 different folders. Appdata low and roaming, program data as well as its install folder. Not counting the app data ones in each profile. Opera s pretty good at hiding the folders you need to change anything too. I haven't looked hard for the bookmark folder but I did look for the base file that you need to change or add programs to opera and after a very long time I just quit. I searched all the folders stated . By the fourth time though besides falling asleep my eyes were burning because I started so late so Its possible I just kept over looking it or it was namedd way different than the examples I seen. The only simple way to show directories is to copy / paste or type the default path its probably on. Opera folder is not a direction. More a group policy of all folders of opera. On the hard drive and in the computer are not helpful either btw.

have you tried this extension for exporting bookmarks?
https://addons.opera.com/extensions/details/v7-bookmarks/

you don't need to dig through profile folders, it will export it as HTML sorted in tree
additionally with favicons
