Importing sql file using phpmyadmin in EasyPHP

Question

I have a website written in php and mysql (written by someone else) and I need to alter it- just for your interest it is bridgetjonesart.co.uk. So I thought I would download

Answer 1

As an alternative to modifying phpMyAdmin's config.inc.php as proposed in other answers, if you have shell access then you can directly execute this file using the MySQL console client.

First, change directories to the folder containing your DDL script runningc_bjart.sql

Then run this command, replacing the values for host, user, password, and database name:

mysql --host=database_server --user=database_user --password=database_password --database=database_name < runningc_bjart.sql

This ran just fine without the error received when importing via phpMyAdmin
