MySQL has a command-line tool called 'mysqldump' which will output a text file containing all the table creates and inserts necessary to recreate the database. As others have suggested, you can use phpmyadmin to import this file, or you can just pipe it into the mysql command-line tool on the server once you've created your database. Look inside the file created by mysqldump and all will be much clearer. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
