Hi Steven,
The problem is that when doing mysql_query (et al) from PHP, you DON'T
specify the semicolon (;) at the end of a query. If you want to import
this back into MySQL, do the following:
1. Go into mysql and recreate the database manually -- the dump from
mysqldump does NOT have a command to recreate the db.
2. Run "mysql < textfile.sql", where textfile.sql is the dumpfile
that was created. Be sure to use the -p option if you need to specify a
password.
Good luck.
