[PHP-DB] Loading database information from a text file
Hi, I have a text file with all my database information from creating databases to setting up tables. I have looked throught the mysql docs on how to load these on from a text file via the mysql prompt. But all I can find is: load data infile filename.txt into table whatever But this is not what I am looking for. :( As the tables are already defined in the text file and the appropiate database name to enter them into. Is there a way to load these into the database directly instead of doing each table seperately from the mysql prompt? (not web admin) Thanks in advance.

The file has all of the SQL statements that you need to run? If so, just send it to mysql... Mysql -uuser -ppassword database_name filename.txt You can call that through exec() if you want. The file must be proper SQL, though. ---John W. Holmes... Amazon Wishlist: http://www.amazon.com/o/registry/3BEXC84AB3A5E PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.
