"delimiter" is a command for the command line client and not a SQL statement known by the server.

> ... when delimiter is not function... is impossible to run command
> CREATE TRIGGER because at the end of this command is always ... ; END ...

Just create your trigger (including BEGIN ...; END) as usual, should work. As always with querys in PHP, no ";" at the end of the query string.

I think Carsten has pretty much nailed this one. Closing.
