Re: Restoring a Backup from mysqldump

[Henning Bergmann]

Sorry, this is the corrected code, which doesn't work. I just failed to copy it correctly into the message:

neither

system(sprintf('mysql -u%s -p%s -h%s %s < %s',
$dbuser,
$dbpass,
$dbhost,
$dbname,
"path_and_filename.sql"
));

nor

system(sprintf('mysqlimport -u%s -p%s -h%s %s %s',
$dbuser,
$dbpass,
$dbhost,
$dbname,
"path_and_filename.sql"
));

seem to do the trick for me. Both result in '1' as return_value for the system-command.
