Importing Mysql file using Source Command

1. Create an empty database in phpMyadmin. Main thing to do is give it the same name as the sql file you are trying to upload. One can also use command CREATE DATABASE databasename;

2. Log on into shell: mysql -u root -p. It will then ask you for your root password. Type it in

3. Let Mysql know which file you intend to use

mysql> USE file.sql;. (If you fail to use the USE command you can end up with this error: “error 1046 (3D0000): no database selected. If your database is large this error can freeze the screen)

4. Dump the sql data file with this code: SOURCE /home/username/foldername/file.sql.

AND U R DONE.

Difference between is_file and file_exists

If you want to know that the argument supplied is a file or not use is_file() file_exists() will take both file and directory as input and return true if they exists. So, unless you specifically want to check if the argument passed is a file use is_file otherwise use file_exists()
