Re: [PHP] Importing and exporting from MySQL, escape slash problem
Richard, Jed, Thank you for replying. Richard said: It's possible that there is an .htaccess file in phpMyAdmin that has Magic Quotes on that is messing you up... The .htaccess file for phpMyAdmin says php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off, so I guess that means I'm okay there. Other than that, it's specific to phpMyAdmin, so maybe ask those guys what they did... I joined their list through Sourceforge, but I haven't seen any mail from it, and any mail I send gets bounced back to me. I'm not sure what the issue is. Jed said: If you're having trouble importing a mysql dump using phpMyAdmin, it might be simpler not to use it, and use mysqldump instead. I suppose I'll have to if I can't get phpMyAdmin to behave. It's too bad, though, as phpMyAdmin is so convenient otherwise. -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
