How do I import a .sql file in mysql database using PHP?


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.


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
