Something similar to file object is there in php also. If everything fails then opt in for .sql route. It is the safest. I have been importing and exporting data regularly from a remote location using this option for the past 3 months. But with a slight difference. Both locations have windows computer and exports are shared using dropbox. And this method works without a flaw. With php on a linux server you will probably be required to use the file object to execute the query one by one. Regards Akshat
