Re: [PHP-DB] Using PHP to import a DB
Robert - I installed phpmyadmin on the shared server, however I am not sure of the command to run the sql file, mybackup.sql, that was created on the dedicated server with mysqldump. The docs as best as I can read them indicate that all I need to type into the Run SQL query text box is the name of the file (/tmp/mybackup.sql), however that produces an error. Maybe the problem is that I FTP'd the file to the shared server and it should be on my local computer?? What have I overlooked?

RE: [PHP-DB] Using PHP to import a DB
Yes, this is an upload of a local file. I'm not sure if there is a way to run the sql command inside the file if it's sitting on the server. Keep in mind that you may run into size upload restrictions (i.e. files larger than 2 megs, or whatever your webhost has set it to). If that's the case, you can separate out the sql commands from the file into separate files. -Original Message- From: Todd Cary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 8:43 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Using PHP to import a DB Robert - I installed phpmyadmin on the shared server, however I am not sure of the command to run the sql file, mybackup.sql, that was created on the dedicated server with mysqldump.

RE: [PHP-DB] Using PHP to import a DB
Do you have permission to create tables (I would assume so)? Can you run any successful queries (i.e. not using the file upload)? If so, you might need to check your configuration file, or you might have some file size limitations, as I mentioned in my previous email. -Original Message- From: Todd Cary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 8:57 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Using PHP to import a DB Robert - I used the backup file on my desktop computer and the browse button.

Re: [PHP-DB] Using PHP to import a DB
Robert - I created and loaded the tables by brute force. That is, I took each of the CREATE TABLE statements from the mysqldump file and executed them in the phpmyadmin SQL query area and then did the same for the INSERT commands. Not what I am use too with a dedicated server though :-) !! I bet it is a filesize problem...I'll look into that. It appears that I'll have to use the DUMP or SELECT * INTO OUTFILE ... for each table for a backup. Not as convenient as the mysqldump command! Unless I can get the php system() to work.
