problem with LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE

when I type:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/home/db/file.txt' INTO TABLE table fields optionally enclosed by '\"'";

at the mysql prompt (on a Linux server), I have no problems whatsoever.

When I try the script:
<?php
/*assume here I am connected to the correct database - I have checked!*/
$sql="LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/home/db/file.txt' INTO TABLE table fields optionally enclosed by '\"'";
if($result=mysql_query($sql)){echo"success";}
?>

I get "success" output, but no data in the table.
I have checked the text file scrupulously - nothing wrong with it.

Why is it not working?
Anybody?
