Question

I am trying to insert some e mails from a text file into MySQL database, some of them are getting inserted properly but some of them are not.

My approach to implement this is like.

$query = "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'email-list.txt' INTO TABLE $tablename FIELDS TERMINATED BY 'r'(email)";

$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

some emails that are not inserted properly are like.

    [e-mail]
    [e-mail]

These get inserted like.

    x
    xxx_xxxxx

Please see what is wrong in my approach and suggest any possible approach to do this properly.

Answer 1

This…

FIELDS TERMINATED BY 'r'

Did you mean…

FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\r'

???

THE DOCS

If you specify no FIELDS or LINES clause, the defaults are the same
as if you had written this:

FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' ENCLOSED BY '' ESCAPED BY '\\'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' STARTING BY ''

(Backslash is the MySQL escape character within strings in SQL
statements, so to specify a literal backslash, you must specify two
backslashes for the value to be interpreted as a single backslash. The
escape sequences ‘\t’ and ‘\n’ specify tab and newline characters,
respectively.)
