When in MySQL in a terminal, if I enter the command "source scriptfile.sql",
MySQL correctly executes the source file.
However, if using PHP, I execute the following commands in a PHP file:
<?php
// data base is connected...
$query = "source scriptfile.sql";
$result = mysql_query($query);
I get a MySQL "Query Error - You have an error in your SQL syntax near
'source scriptfile.sql' at line 1".
I have tried numerous combinations of parentheses, single quotes and relative
and absolute file paths.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
