Quick mysql dump from file using php

hey everyone,

looking for a quick way to read a file holding the mysql
table dump and dumping it into mysql. I got it down to where
it is reading the dump file, but what command do i use to execute it against the db? Thanks

Simplest way is to do through phpMyadmin but sometimes phpMyAdmin gives memory problems and sometimes it takes tooooooooo long time.. And it may happen that query wont be executed.

It happened to me so i wrote a script to do it myself.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



$db = mysql_connect ( 'localhost', 'username', 'password' );

mysql_select_db( 'database', $db );



$FP = fopen ( 'backup.sql', 'r' );

$READ = fread ( $FP, filesize ( 'backup.sql') );



$READ = explode ( ";\n", $READ );



foreach ( $READ AS $RED )

{

    mysql_query ( $RED );

}



echo 'Done';

?>

Replace the backup.sql with your file name.
I used this to execute a phpBB mySQL dump into the database.

Hope that helps.

Explode() function there is splitting the readed file with the ; and a line break

for example :

INSERT INTO table (id,name) VALUES ('ok','notok');
INSERT INTO table2 *********;

These are both are splitted and each gets executed.
