Hi All,

    I got this .sql script that setup the whole db schema, I can run
mysql.exe to run on my pc but when it goes to a hosting company's server I
don't have that command!

    So I tried to include("setup.sql") into a string and send that as one
long sql query. BUT I need to get rid of all the comment lines first in the
script!!

    can someone give me a better idea of doing this.
    (there must be an equivalent php function like
mysql_run_script("setup.sql"))

Either do it with a query....

mysql_query ( "LOAD DATA INFILE 'file.sql'" );

Or use a system command in php...

$command = "mysql db_name < file.sql";
exec ( $command );
