Best practice: Import mySQL file in PHP; split queries

Question

I have a situation where I have to update a web site on a shared hosting provider. The site has a CMS. Uploading the CMS\'s files is pretty straightforward using FTP.

First at all thanks for this topic. This saved a lot of time for me :) And let me to make little fix for your code. Sometimes if TRIGGERS or PROCEDURES is in dump file, it is not enough to examine the ; delimiters. In this case may be DELIMITER [something] in sql code, to say that the statement will not end with ; but [something]. For example a section in xxx.sql:

    DELIMITER //
    CREATE TRIGGER `mytrigger` BEFORE INSERT ON `mytable`
    FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
         SET NEW.`create_time` = NOW();
    END
    //
    DELIMITER ;

So first need to have a falg, to detect, that query does not ends with ; And delete the unqanted query chunks, because the mysql_query does not need delimiter (the delimiter is the end of string) so mysql_query need someting like this:

    CREATE TRIGGER `mytrigger` BEFORE INSERT ON `mytable`
    FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
         SET NEW.`create_time` = NOW();
    END;

So a little work and here is the fixed code:

    function SplitSQL($file, $delimiter = ';')
    {
        set_time_limit(0);            
        $matches = array();
        $otherDelimiter = false;
        if (is_file($file) === true) {
            $file = fopen($file, 'r');
            if (is_resource($file) === true) {
                $query = array();
                while (feof($file) === false) {
                    $query[] = fgets($file);
                    if (preg_match('~' . preg_quote('delimiter', '~') . '\s*([^\s]+)$~iS', end($query), $matches) === 1){     
                        //DELIMITER DIRECTIVE DETECTED
                        array_pop($query); //WE DON'T NEED THIS LINE IN SQL QUERY
                        if( $otherDelimiter = ( $matches[1] != $delimiter )){
                        }else{
                            //THIS IS THE DEFAULT DELIMITER, DELETE THE LINE BEFORE THE LAST (THAT SHOULD BE THE NOT DEFAULT DELIMITER) AND WE SHOULD CLOSE THE STATEMENT                                
                            array_pop($query);
                            $query[]=$delimiter;
                        }                                                                                    
                    }                        
                    if ( !$otherDelimiter && preg_match('~' . preg_quote($delimiter, '~') . '\s*$~iS', end($query)) === 1) {                            
                        $query = trim(implode('', $query));
                        if (mysql_query($query) === false){
                            echo '
ERROR: ' . $query . '
' . "\n";
                        }else{
                            echo '
SUCCESS: ' . $query . '
' . "\n";
                        }
                        while (ob_get_level() > 0){
                            ob_end_flush();
                        }
                        flush();                        
                    }
                    if (is_string($query) === true) {
                        $query = array();
                    }
                }                    
                return fclose($file);
            }
        }
        return false;
}

I hope i could help somebody too. Have a nice day!
