I am Copying an existing database, which the sql dump is created from.
> And have you looked into importing the dump into PHPMyAdmin?
I want to package the creation of the database into an install.php So that
the relevant fields can be input
DB name
Server Name
Password etc...
so that there is no need to use phpmyadmin.
I am trying to avoid phpmyadmin and keep the creation of the database as
simple as possible for the user.
Alex.
