User insert they database details which then they change in config.php file.

I try using

$text = file_get_contents();

but my querys fails as i do have around 32 tables i need to inset into database and all the necessary setting.

There is a number of tools that aim to achieve this, with different feature sets:

If you dont need a generic tool, the easiest would be to write a simple install script and ask users to run it. This can be as easy as a single file that prints a form and asks for the required details. When submitted, do the necessary install routines.

There is no universal standard for deploying PHP apps. Provide a tarball containing the PHP files in a directory, as well as the SQL schema, sample configuration file, and deployment documentation.

You can try to set check_foreign_keys = 0 ; then import the tables from the file and you need to have config.php world writable if you whant the web app to write the initial config to it.
