Query works from shell but not PHP page

Hi,

 

I have a query that I\'m attempting to load from a PHP page that is not working. However, the exact same query works just fine when I run it from the MySQL command line.

 

This is the query:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE \'/home/ratdog/public_html/test.txt\' INTO TABLE `shows`

 

I\'ve run similar queries through PHP with no problem, and I\'m absolutely stumped on why this won\'t work when it works fine from the command line.

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Dave

Yes. I can run that same query that imports the data from that same file if I type it at the command line. Nothing happens from PHP though. (The same PHP script has other queries of the database, and those work properly.)

 

Thanks.

By the way, I get the error:

 

ERROR: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version

 

if I make it `shows` instead of \'shows\'

 

 

 

I get the error:

 

ERROR: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near \'\'shows\'\' at line 1

 

if I leave it as \'shows\'
