Import mysql dump using php

Question

I have mysql dump file. How I can import this file into mysql using php?

Answer 1

Depends on how big the dump file is, really. A small one can just be added with a sql command. A larger one can be imported with a script.

A quick search will reveal many pre-made scripts that break down a dump into smaller chunks in order to not overload the server. I have used this one in the past: http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php
