  • 0

I am trying to upload the contact data of csv to mysql database phbook using php,
but when i check through phpmyadmin or print the data of the database.. i dont see anything, or say the table is empty,

The code i used is as below;

    <?php
    /* conenction to DB */

    $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
    if (!$con)
      {
      die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
      }

    mysql_select_db("phbook", $con);

    /* connection ends*/

    if ( isset( $_FILES['userfile'] ) )
    {
      $csv_file = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];

      if ( ! is_file( $csv_file ) )
        exit('File not found.');

      $sql = '';

      if (($handle = fopen( $csv_file, "r")) !== FALSE)
      {
          while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE)
          {
              $sql .= "INSERT INTO `contact` SET
                `fname` = '$data[0]',
                `lname` = '$data[1]',
                `phone` = '$data[2]',
                `mob` = '$data[3]',
                `email` = '$data[4]';
              ";
          }
          fclose($handle);
      }

      // Insert into database

      //exit( $sql );
      exit( "Complete!" );
    }
    mysql_close($con);
    ?>

    For the help of others like me who are seeking for a solution, read this and follow,

    I created a database named csv, and table named test, where the 4 fields are id (auto increment and primary) , first_name, last_name, email. I have created a csv file and named it upload.csv(doesnt matter what you name it) where there are hundreds of data of individuals in 3 columns like First Name, Last Name and Email Address example:

    willie    walker    willie@example.com
    david   cotter    david@sometest.com
    John    Painer    john@domain.com
    …….     ……….   ………………….
    …….     ……….   ………………….

    Now, create a new php file import_csv_file.php(doesnt matter what you name it) and paste the codes below, save it and run under your webserver..Upload the csv file that we had created and see.. IT WORKS

        <?php

    $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die (mysql_error());

    mysql_select_db('csv', $con);

        if(isset($_POST['submit']))
        {
            $file = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
            $handle = fopen($file,"r");
            while(($fileop = fgetcsv($handle,1000,",")) !==false)
            {

                $f = $fileop[0];
                $l = $fileop[1];
                $e = $fileop[2];
                $sql= mysql_query("INSERT INTO test (first_name,last_name,email) VALUES ('$f','$l','$e')");
            }
            if($sql)
            {
                echo "data uploaded successfully";
            }
        }

    ?>

    <body>
    <form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
      <input type="file" name="file" />
      <br />
      <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"/>
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>
