Question

There is a mysql database named: example which has a table named: products it have fields: products_model and products_image. the model field is unique.

now i have a csv file named data.csv. which have two column products_model and products_image.i use the following code. but it doesn’t import the data into the database.what’s wrong with my code?

    $fp = fopen("data.csv","r");
$length = 4096; //have to be optional length
$fildDelineate = ',' ;//or "|" declare what you need
$dbhost="localhost";
$dbname="zencartone";
$dbuser="root";
$dbpass="";
$link  = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$databasetable  = 'products';

$counter = 1;//to omission first row if it is table headers

while($line = fgetcsv($fp,$length,$fildDelineate)){
    foreach($line as $key=>$value){
        //for example insert in 3 column
        $importSQL = "insert into $databasetable  (products_model, products_image) values('$line[0]','$line[1]')";
        mysql_query($importSQL) or die(mysql_error());
    }
    $counter++;
}
fclose($fp);

data.csv:

have two column:

Edit:

Use the following loop:

while($line = fgets($fp)) {
    $lineArray = explode("\t", $line); // Use tab as delimiter.
    $importSQL = "insert into $databasetable  (products_model, products_image) values ('".$lineArray[0]."','".$lineArray[1]."')";
    mysql_query($importSQL) or die(mysql_error());
    $counter++;
}

SQL errors:

$importSQL = "insert into $databasetable values('$line[0]','$line[1]')";

You need to specify the column names:

$importSQL = "insert into $databasetable (col1, col2) values('$line[0]','$line[1]')";

Edit: fgetcsv($fp,$length,$fildDelineate,'')

Enclosure param is set to empty string. You can get rid of it if you have no enclosures around the values in the CSV:

fgetcsv($fp,$length,$fildDelineate)

Otherwise, set the correct enclosure (double quotes or single quote).
