MySQL and Apache problem

Hi,

I have just installed Apache, PHP and MySQL on my machine in order to run a
development version of a website. It is the first time that I have tried
this, I have managed to get the php working OK, but I dont know how to get
the SQL working. I have a .sql file which has all the CREATE TABLE and
INSERT statements, but I dont know how to build this so that my development
site can use the information in the database. I am hoping that someone will
be able to give me some idea as to what I have to do!

Cheers,

Paul

Hey, you too! Fun isn't it 8-|

My recollection (I've been fiddling with other parts of the system for a while
now) is that I opened a MySQL session in a DOS box and executed the script
(that makes the tables) from there.

Regards
Mark
