How can a PHP beginner navigate the process of executing a file in a MySQL database through phpMyAdmin?

To execute a file in a MySQL database through phpMyAdmin as a PHP beginner, you can use the mysqli_query function to send a SQL query to the database. You will need to read the contents of the file and then execute it as a query using mysqli_query. 

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database_name";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Read the contents of the file
$sql = file_get_contents('path/to/your/sql/file.sql');

// Execute the query
if ($conn->multi_query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "File executed successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error executing file: " . $conn->error;
}

// Close connection
$conn->close();
?>
