upload file in a mysql database

[aspirantu]

I created a mysql database for my website on my provider's server and I want to upload data from a .txt file
(from my hard disk) in a table in mysql database.
On my localhost server I used the following syntax:

$query = "load data infile 'd:\doc\file.txt' replace into table $table";
$result = mysql_query ($query)
or exit("Wrong path");

but it did not work online.
Is this syntax wrong or the path is wrong?
Excuse my English.

Do you have permission on the files to do that? Meaning, does the user the server is running as have permission to open the file?

Also, you need to supply a database link to your query as well. Something like:

$link = mysql_connect("host', 'user', 'pass');

$result = mysql_query($query, $link);
