Question

I am echoing the statement out right above the mysql_query statement, and for some reason the slashes in the csv file are being stripped? I get the error you can see below. Any insights?

echo "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '" . $csv . "' INTO TABLE mytable FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' IGNORE 1 LINES";
mysql_query("LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '" . $csv . "' INTO TABLE mytable FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' IGNORE 1 LINES") or die(mysql_error());

ERROR:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\FileClean\output\6eai1mikqkidpe1re77e8a6jn2trial_new.csv' INTO TABLE mytable FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY ' ' IGNORE 1 LINES

Can't find file 'C:FileCleanoutput6eai1mikqkidpe1re77e8a6jn2trial_new.csv'

Answer 1

You need to escape the slashes by adding another slash in front of each in the $csv file path.

example:

C:\\FileClean\\output\\6eai1mikqkidpe1re77e8a6jn2trial_new.csv
