The idea behind nukesql.php is that it will install the database tables without the need for phpMyAdmin, naturally if you try to execute it from phpMyAdmin it won't work, i suggest reading the readme file included with nukesql.php, it describes how to use it in just a few lines.

You can't 'browse' a file like that.. open it up in a word processor like Wordpad or whatever. Then you can copy/paste the portions you need directly into SQL Queries using phpMyAdmin or whatever...

Wizarium, Chatserv created that file, and I've used it a fair few times on test sites now.

You CAN browse nukesql.php - in fact, that's exactly what you do.

it goes in the site root directory, then u run it from ur browser.

if you're thinking about nuke.sql as a file you can't just browse, then I'd like to point out that if newbie was using nuke.sql, it'd have worked in phpMyAdmin first time (probably)

Ah, ok I see that.. After reading his post, I just looked in my SQL folder and that nuke.sql was the only thing in it... so I thought he was trying to load that into a browser or something... anyways, hope he got it solved.
