Importing MySQL db with un-escaped quotes?

[Mr.Domains]

I am offering 1000 DNF$ to anyone who can help me solve this!

I bought a 300 Mb database, 60K+ records, in the form of a large flattext .sql file, but when I came to import it, many of the records contain un-escaped quotes (') which messes up the SQL INSERT queries:

INSERT INTO `articles` VALUES ('','Planning Your Wedding Is Easy','<p>Planning a wedding is one of the most nerve wracking times in any person's life...','Marriage-Wedding','Active');

Obviously, it's not just a case of escaping every quote in the file, because the quotes between the record's fields are necessary:

INSERT INTO `articles` VALUES ('','Planning Your Wedding Is Easy','<p>Planning a wedding is one of the most nerve wracking times in any person\'s life...','Marriage-Wedding','Active');

... so what do I do? You can't escape them by hand because there's 60,000+ records, so how do I get them into a database?

If you have PHP5 & the file is writeable.. create a copy to test on, but try the following:

 <?php
    $file = 'sqldump.sql';
    
    $sql = file_get_contents($file);
    
    $sql = ereg_replace("'s","\'s ",$sql);
    $sql = ereg_replace("'t","\'s.",$sql);
    $sql = ereg_replace("'s","\'t ",$sql);
    $sql = ereg_replace("'t","\'t.",$sql);
    
    file_put_contents($file,$sql);
?>  

That /should/ work.


edit--fixed a few typoes
