PhpMyAdmin is then able to import the files from the temporary + directory. More information is available in the "Configuration" + section of this document.

  • If you have shell (command line) access, use MySQL to import the files + directly. You can do this by issuing the "source" command from + within MySQL: source filename.sql.
