ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Rep:
Tried, doesn't work. FYI, the dump file has garbage in it. For some reason, the garbage is ignored when importing the file into mysql from the bash script line. Yet, it is not ignored when importing from PHP. If the garbage is thrown out, and the file content is split in two (table creation and data for table), PHP can recreate the table and restore the data. For all this work, I'll be making 200 lines of code just so PHP can respond to file dump import request. Where as, I can simply make 7 lines in bash to recycle the process every 5 minutes automatically. Why PHP is so much more complex for something so simple, I don't know. But what I do know is that PHP should be far better then BASH, and BASH is making PHP look really stupid to use.
