Loading SQL files (not CSV) into mySQL

I'm after some pointers on how to dump and load SQL files to and from mySQL using a PHP/HTML form. I've read the manual about "LOAD DATA INFILE", but as far as I can tell that won't help in this case. Unfortunately, CSV files are not an option (client's demands... go figure). What I'm after is dumping/uploading SQL files of the form: ========================================================== # # PHP/MySQL Demo - Table Dump # -------------------------------------------------------- # # Structure # DROP TABLE IF EXISTS demo; CREATE TABLE demo ( id tinyint(2) unsigned zerofill NOT NULL auto_increment, name char(50) NOT NULL, logo_url char(50) NOT NULL, page_colour char(6) DEFAULT 'FFFFFF' NOT NULL, last_order datetime DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00' NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id), KEY id (id), UNIQUE id_2 (id) ); # # Data # INSERT INTO demo (id, name, logo_url, page_colour, last_order) VALUES ( '01', 'CompanyName', 'logo.gif', '99CCFF', '2001-04-06 13:21:31'); ========================================================== Complete with table creation and data inserts. In effect, it needs to be standalone text files full of SQL commands. I know it can be done, because phpMyAdmin has exactly this facility. But even after studying the code of that carefully, I can't tell which specific pieces are handling this enough to extract the facility. Can anyone point me, or is willing to donate, any articles/code snippets/etc that will help. TIA Andy Warwick
