Actually, I have just figured it out. It had to do with the 'slashes'
around the query. The original $sql code was created using phpmyadmin,
but I messed around with it until it worked, now using the following
query:
mysql_query("LOAD DATA INFILE 'C:\\\\abc.txt' INTO TABLE abc FIELDS
TERMINATED BY '\\t' ESCAPED BY '\\\' LINES TERMINATED BY '\\r\\n'");
So it was the query formatting which was the problem.
Thanks
Justin

does your server have the post variables set as globals? you might
have to use $_POST['submit'] instead.
