How do I import a .sql file in mysql database using PHP?
mysql, php
Solution
Warning: `mysql_*` extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and has been removed as of PHP 7.0.0. Instead, either the mysqli or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also the MySQL API Overview for further help while choosing a MySQL API. Whenever possible, importing a file to MySQL should be delegated to MySQL client.
I have got another way to do this, try this
<?php
// Name of the file
$filename = 'churc.sql';
// MySQL host
$mysql_host = 'localhost';
// MySQL username
$mysql_username = 'root';
// MySQL password
$mysql_password = '';
// Database name
$mysql_database = 'dump';
// Connect to MySQL server
mysql_connect($mysql_host, $mysql_username, $mysql_password) or die('Error connecting to MySQL server: ' . mysql_error());
// Select database
mysql_select_db($mysql_database) or die('Error selecting MySQL database: ' . mysql_error());
// Temporary variable, used to store current query
$templine = '';
// Read in entire file
$lines = file($filename);
// Loop through each line
foreach ($lines as $line)
{
// Skip it if it's a comment
if (substr($line, 0, 2) == '--' || $line == '')
continue;
// Add this line to the current segment
$templine .= $line;
// If it has a semicolon at the end, it's the end of the query
if (substr(trim($line), -1, 1) == ';')
{
// Perform the query
mysql_query($templine) or print('Error performing query \'<strong>' . $templine . '\': ' . mysql_error() . '<br /><br />');
// Reset temp variable to empty
$templine = '';
}
}
echo "Tables imported successfully";
?>
This is working for me
Problem
I'm trying to import a .sql file through PHP code. However, my code shows this error: ``` There was an error during import. Please make sure the import file is saved in the same folder as this script and check your values: MySQL Database Name: test MySQL User Name: root MySQL Password: NOTSHOWN MySQL Host Name: localhost MySQL Import Filename: dbbackupmember.sql ``` And this is my code: ``` <?php //ENTER THE RELEVANT INFO BELOW $mysqlDatabaseName ='test'; $mysqlUserName ='root'; $mysqlPassword =''; $mysqlHostName ='localhost'; $mysqlImportFilename ='dbbackupmember.sql'; //DONT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE //Export the database and output the status to the page $command='mysql -h' .$mysqlHostName .' -u' .$mysqlUserName .' -p' .$mysqlPassword .' ' .$mysqlDatabaseName .' < ' .$mysqlImportFilename; exec($command,$output=array(),$worked); switch($worked){ case 0: echo 'Import file <b>' .$mysqlImportFilename .'</b> successfully imported to database <b>' .$mysqlDatabaseName .'</b>'; break; case 1: echo 'There was an error during import. Please make sure the import file is saved in the same folder as this script and check your values:<br/><br/><table><tr><td>MySQL Database Name:</td><td><b>' .$mysqlDatabaseName .'</b></td></tr><tr><td>MySQL User Name:</td><td><b>' .$mysqlUserName .'</b></td></tr><tr><td>MySQL Password:</td><td><b>NOTSHOWN</b></td></tr><tr><td>MySQL Host Name:</td><td><b>' .$mysqlHostName .'</b></td></tr><tr><td>MySQL Import Filename:</td><td><b>' .$mysqlImportFilename .'</b></td></tr></table>'; break; } ?> ``` What am I doing wrong? The SQL file is in the same directory.
