Restoring dump file in phpmyadmin

1-17-05, 08:55 PM

I lost all of my database info over 1 week ago. I downloaded the backup dump file from PW. How do I restore this info in phpmyadmin? Or is there a better way?

I'd try using Halfabee's backup/restore script - I think there's a link in the ReadMe FAQ at the top of this forum

i never bothered looking at one of the powweb database backups but i assume they are just text files of the database schema. if so, go the "SQL" tab of phpmyadmin. from there you can browse for a the file and phpmyadmin will parse it. judging purely from the size of the powweb backups, i for one know that they are wrong (their backup of my 4MB db is only 300KB). in the future you should do you own backups.
