HughbertD Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I have a file I have created with a bunch of regular expressions to create a load of sql insert statements, how can I execute this from PHP? Thanks for any help I had been trying to do this using DBD:Mysql in Perl but I can't get the damn thing installed! If anyone knows the specifics of how to do that, that would be great too!

jaymc Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 put them in an array called $whatever then do foreach ($whatever as $whatever) { mysql_query($whatever); } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/87544-executing-mysql-external-files-from-php/#findComment-447751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Your first question: What do regular expressions have to do with sql statements? Your second question: Nothing to do with php.

HughbertD Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 The regular expressions; I was just saying that was how I got my file with sql statements in. I mentioned it to demonstrate the file needs to be read in by PHP from an external source. The second question was definitely a naughty by me (sorry) just in case someone had had the same problem as me and knew any solutions.
