snowrhythm Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 hey dude, did that software package come with phpmyadmin? if not, uninstall xamp or whatever it was and install WAMP instead. phpmyadmin will easily regurgitate that text file into a DB for ya.

snowrhythm Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 btw ball, when you get phpmyadmin going (it's what comes up when you type 'localhost' in the URL bar of your browser), near the bottom of the main pageshould be a link called "import", click that and it'll ask you to find the text file you want to import as a database. that should set you up nicely.
