Create mysql trigger via PHP?

Question

I\'m executing the following in PHP5.3:

$sql = \"
CREATE TRIGGER `_photo_fulltext_insert` AFTER INSERT ON `photo` FOR EACH ROW INSERT INTO `_photo_fulltext`

While the mysqli doesn't to anything with DELIMITER in multi-query statements, it actually doesn't do anything with any delimiters at all in normal queries, so just shove your triggers in one by one:

$ cat i.php 
query($sql);
var_dump($mysqli->error);
$ php i.php 
string(0) ""
$ mysql
mysql> use test;

Database changed
mysql> show triggers\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
             Trigger: _foo_fulltext_update
               Event: UPDATE
               Table: foo
           Statement: BEGIN
    DELETE FROM `bar` WHERE `bar`=NEW.`bar`;
    INSERT INTO `bar` (bar) SELECT bar FROM `foo` WHERE `bar`=NEW.`bar`;
  END
              Timing: AFTER
             Created: NULL
