Why is LOCAL INFILE disabled?

Asked by GRMrGecko on 2012-05-22

I'm having problems with some scripts I wrote in PHP because MySQL is now compiled without the LOCAL INFILE option. The my.cnf, php.ini, and mysqli_options all have the enabling of LOCAL INFILE, yet it still does not work. I know the mysql option --local-infile works when using the mysql command to run the query, however it would be better if I could use the current connection I have in my code rather than spawning a whole new connection using the system function...

According to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970615, the recent update disables it. Can we have this re-enabled? Or at least make it so I could enable it via the mysqli_options function in php?

Thanks.
