Import mysql dump using php

Question

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

Answer 1

I you want to use PHP, you can easily use the file() function, which reads a file into an array line by line.

You could try something like that:

mysql_connect(BD_HOST, DB_USER, BD_PASS) or die("Error connecting to MySQL server: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME);

$all_lines = file("mysql_dump.sql", FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES | FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);

foreach($all_lines as $query) {
    if(substr($query, 0, 2) == "--") {
        continue;
    }

    mysql_query($query) or die("Error executing query 
  "$query\"
".mysql_error());
}
