Answer 1

Your upload file:

<form action="upload_target.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Your upload_target.php

$ext = pathinfo($_FILES[‘file’][‘name’], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

if ($ext == "csv" && $_FILES["file"]["error"] == 0)
{
    $target = "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
    move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $target);

    if (($handle = fopen($target, "r")) !== FALSE) 
    {
        while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ";")) !== FALSE) 
        {
            print_r($data);
        }

        fclose($handle);
    }
}

Very basic and with very few checks / validations. The print_r($data) contains one line of your csv that you can now insert in your database.

However, I would recommend using PDO or MySQLi for that task, since the mysql functions of PHP will be deprecated in the future.
