Further to David's comment - the "mysql data directory" (without pathname) is the database's own directory (cf the directory of databases - if that makes any sense) - and any relative pathnames (obviously) lead on from there, so full pathnames are not necessarily necessary. Also, when I did an import last night: 1 it was not necessary to escape the double quote field delimiters (it is within single quotes) 2 because of the vagaries of Windows boxes, it was necessary to ensure the record terminators were treated consistently - either build the export file with only LF or instruct MySQL to use CRLF (as Jason put it to "be readable to the MySQL server daemon process thingy") Regards, =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
