Question

Test.text

abc,def,ghi,jkl,...

Is there anyway possible to insert each one to each row in database?

1 abc
2 def
...

Any suggest?

Answer 1

If I’m not wrong, you can do that with explode

$file = file_get_contents('file.txt');
$var = explode(",", $file);

The $var variable will be a array containing, in this case, 4 positions(0,1,2, 3) with this(‘abc’,’def’,’ghi’,’jkl’).

No you can do a foreach inserting the values on your table:

foreach($var as $x)
{
//YOUR INSERT GOES HERE. PASSING THE $x TO YOUR QUERY
}

Just complementing Breland answer, you could also do this directly with MySQL like this?

LOAD DATA INFILE '/test.txt' INTO TABLE test TERMINATED BY ','

And if necessary, you can add this: LINES STARTING BY 'xxx' to define from where the insert will begin. It is useful in case you want to avoid some lines on your file.
