Question

I have this code

LOAD DATA INFILE '$filename' INTO TABLEpicklistFIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';

but when I execute it, this error displays:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in C:\wamp\www\dX\csvImport-picklist.php on line 20

What is wrong with my SQL query?

Answer 1

Probably you have an unescaped ” (in the enclosed by) but impossible to say without seeing more.

$sql = "LOAD DATA INFILE '$filename' INTO TABLE `picklist` FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'";  // Added the escape character (slash) before the double quotes
