Hi, I am trying to import some tables from a dump file into a MySQL database from a php web page. What is the best way to do this without using backticks (fpassthru, system, exec or something else) and test for success or failure? I tried the following and while it works, my test for success or failure always produces a "Success" even when I change something to make it fail. I thought system() outputs the last line of the command on success and FALSE on failure. Any examples appreciated.
<?php $status = system("mysql -umyuserid -pmypassword mydbname < /path/to/mydumpfile.txt"); if($status == 'FALSE'){ echo 'Failed'; } else { echo 'Success'; } ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
