HI

I want to submit csv file data into mysql

if any one has any program made to insert csv file into mysql pls give me the code i really need it
pls help me

bye

1) Split the csv file line-by-line using explode()
2) Then insert into your mysql DB normally.

Before you can 'split' the cvs data, you need the following:

// after uploading using a html form
$tmpName  = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$fp = fopen($tmpName, 'r'); 
$fr=fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));
$line = explode("\n", $fr);
// etc etc ...

Before you can 'split' the cvs data, you need the following:

// after uploading using a html form
$tmpName  = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$fp = fopen($tmpName, 'r'); 
$fr=fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));
$line = explode("\n", $fr);
// etc etc ...

<?
if($_REQUEST)
{
$contents = file ('./email_entries.csv');
for($i=0; $i<sizeof($contents); $i++)
{
$line = trim($contents[$i],'",');
$arr = explode(',', $line);
// $sql = "insert into employees values ('".implode("','", $arr)."')";
$sql = mysql_query("insert into employees(first_name,last_name,email_id) values ('".$arr[0]."','".$arr[1]."','".$arr[2]."')");
}
}

Hi,

Just run this code to enter your csv file into mysql. Also enter the database details in a file named config.inc.php.

Ok I have this code running on my site. Only thing is I get an error when I put csv files location in the text box. Also I had to add slashes to everywhere the script said "highlight" I was getting some kind of parse error unless it looked like /"highlight/".

My question is why am I getting the error message when I select my csv file.
