i accept the fact that PMA is full of security holes, and it should not be used on production server. but it does not mean that we can never use it on a development server.... probably you may have a bit of trouble while moving from development server to production server. but u can always export your database to an .sql file and import it into production server... but if u dont have access to mysql command line(which is the case in nearly all of the projects i worked on), PMA will probably be the only option...(unless u want to rewrite the entire PMA code.) and certainly http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2345/import_csv_file_directly_into_mysql/ is best option for file with > 5000 lines..(but you may hav to prefer PMA if mysql is not in your PATH env var) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
