CSV just stands for comma separate values. CSV support is pretty common as a way of moving data between applications, and most all spreadsheets support it. It's just a text file like this: Value1,value2,value3 Sometimes you might have a string delimiter like so: Value1,value2,"string 1 here",value3 -----Original Message----- From: Freedomware [mailto:david_blomstrom@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2004 5:23 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Importing Text into Database - Can you recommend a tutorial?
