Problem with Importing SQL File

[kumschick]

how do I import an sql file over a php script?

I tried it with this code, but it doesn't work!
nothing happens, just the Database is created!

$link = mysql_connect("$db_hostname");
if (! $link)
die("Couldn't connect to MySQL");
mysql_create_db("$db_default");
mysql_close($link);

mysql_query("mysql -u'$db_username -p $db_password $db_default < install.sql");

That's not a MySQL query, is it? That's a shell command; one of the program [man]exec[/man] would be more appropriate.
