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:todd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 8:57 AM To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Using PHP to import a DB Robert - I used the backup file on my desktop computer and the browse button. After the upload was over, I got this message: Your SQL query has been executed successfully: The content of your file has been inserted. (sfyc_data_20051105.sql: 11111 Instructions) However the tables were not created in the DB. I must be missing something simple here! A sample of the backup file is as follows: CREATE TABLE ACCESS ( AC_REF int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, AC_MEMBER_NUM varchar(10) default NULL, AC_TYPE varchar(15) default NULL, AC_CHANGETIME timestamp(14) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (AC_REF) ) TYPE=MyISAM; -- -- Dumping data for table 'ACCESS' -- INSERT INTO ACCESS VALUES (2230,'441','VIEWMEM',20040521111332); Todd Robbert van Andel wrote: > You could run a system command from the web browser to import the text file. > If you have access to PHPmyAdmin, you could use it to then import the file. > Or finally, you should be able to read the contents of the file into a > variable (if it's small enough) and then run the query using mysql_query. > > My personal preference is phpmyadmin.
