Hi,
I'm new to php & mysql and have used asp/access for some time. My problem is I can't figure out how to transfer the database from the server to my local computer so that I can use the database for creating my php files locally. I've been able to create the database.sql file and download it to my hard drive, but I can't convert this file into a live database. I've tried the "mysql database < backup-file.sql" command but nothing seems to happen. Maybe the file is in the wrong directory.
thanks, Paul
