Re: execute external sql script in php

is this from within the browser? if so, you'd need to open the file, read the contents and execute the script. I don't knwo what 'source' does. but i don't claim to know much either. i may not have heard of this. if you just want to do it from a command line then you use a < after your login and password args mysql -u user -p < /home/mysql/mysql_script Hope this helps Jeff fabrizio <fabrizio@sad.
