Zend Pdo_Mysql LOAD DATA forbidden

Question

I have been looking for a solution that allows load data queries with zend framework like:

LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE '$dbFile' INTO TABLE mytable ROWS IDENTIFIED BY '<object>';

When I try to execute this query, i get the following error:

Warning: PDO::exec() [pdo.exec]: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE forbidden

However if I output the query and copy/paste it into an editor like HeidiSQL the query works. I searched for an answer and found that I should set the driver option PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_LOCAL_INFILE but it does not seem to work.

I would like to use application.ini to set the driver option:

resources.multidb.mydb.adapter = "Pdo_Mysql"
resources.multidb.mydb.dbname = "mydb"
resources.multidb.mydb.username = "myuser"
resources.multidb.mydb.password = "mypass"
resources.multidb.mydb.driver_options.PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_LOCAL_INFILE = true
resources.multidb.mydb.driver_options.1001 = true

I tried it the following way too but got the same error:

$config = new Zend_Config_Ini(APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini', 'testing');
$dbParams = $config->resources->multidb->mydb->toArray();
$dbParams['driver_options'] = array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_LOCAL_INFILE => '1');
$db = Zend_Db::factory($config->resources->multidb->mydb->adapter, $dbParams);

Am I overlooking something? Or maybe setting the options wrong? I also read that mysql must be compiled with --enable-load-data or something but the query works with an sql editor so it should work through php.

Answer 1

I found an interesting implementation of local infiles in the Rend (Rapid Zend) Framework.

Basically, the file has a class for the PDO object and has a method like this:

/**
 * Set the local infile flag
 *
 * @param boolean $allowLocalInfile
 * @return Rend_Factory_Database_Pdo_Mysql
 */
public function setAllowLocalInfile($allowLocalInfile)
{
    $this->_options["driver_options"][PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_LOCAL_INFILE] = $allowLocalInfile;
    return $this;
}

I'm sure some more browsing in that open source repository would reveal some tricks to solve your problem.
