Answer 1

Use following PHP Code to create a csv file dynamically and give the file to the script to Upload.

$value is an array with the values comma seprated to be written in csv file per line.

$output is an array of values so that it put the values on newline.

ran is creaing numbers and name randomly. The file will be created in the base directory.

for($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
{
    $temp1=$obj->ran($fixNo);
    $temp2=$obj->ran($fixName);
    $value=array($temp1."=".$temp2,$temp1."-1",11+$i);
    $output[$i]=$value;
}
$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'w');
foreach ($output as $fields) {
fputcsv($fp, $fields);
}
fclose($fp);
print_r($output);

Use the following to upload the file it only works in Firefox.

$this->type("csv_file", "C:\\file.csv");
