[Resolved] Dump sql file using PHP

[limeonade]

Hello everyone,

I'm just learning how to program PHP with mySQL. I've learned how to create a database and how to insert values into it. Now I'm trying to make a php function to restore a database using a .sql text file. I know that mysqldump can be used by shell or command line but I want to know how to do this by php. Can anybody please help me with this?

Thanks a lot,
lime

As I am not really very good at this stuff, I use "phpMyAdmin" tool.

Does everything I have ever thrown at it and is really good at dumping and importing stuff.

Regards,

Neil.

Hey thanks a lot piersk. I was looking for something like this. Now I just have to figure out what everything does. It looks pretty straight forward so far.
