How do I upload a file and then import it via phpmyadmin?

Post by briandunning »

What's the general procedure for uploading a tab-delimited file and then importing it into MySQL using phpmyadmin? (I know how to upload the file to my server, and I have the db prepared, but don't know where to go from there.)

I couldn't find the slightest mention of importing data anywhere in phpmyadmin's docs. Maybe I'm just clueless. Any guidance is much appreciated, thanks! :)

when you look at the table in the DB, there's usually a "Insert data from a textfile into table" link. I know it's on the table properties page at the bottom.. it may be in a few other places too.
