I am trying to find a way how, if I have a .SQL file uploaded to a particular folder in my web directory, for a .php file to read it and ask the user if they would like to run the sql into the chosen database.

At the present time i've only got the code that reads the .sql file.

<?php
    foreach (glob("sqls/*.sql") as $filename)
    {   
        include $filename;
    }
?>

`include` is reserved for PHP scripts only, it won't work. – Joel A. Villarreal Bertoldi Nov 17 '13 at 10:09

You can include (*almost*) anything you want, just as long as it's a valid file and/or code. @JoelAlejandro – Funk Forty Niner Nov 17 '13 at 14:33
