Re: How do I import tables into MySQL from web page ...

Thanks but it still returns "Success" on a failure. If anyone knows if it is even possible to assign the output of system, passthru or exec to a variable to check for success or failure and how to do it, please advise. The $status variable seems to always be empty on success or failure when I try to echo it.
