RE: [PHP] Csv issue

hi... as a test... using the cli php... try to write a short app to read a file that simulates your input csv file, and then writes it out as well... once you do this, you'll know you have the logic to read/write/manipulate the csv file. after you can do this, go ahead and then create/work with a app to read a csv file from the user/input/form data from a test website. finally, after you're sure of your ability to manipulate the csv file (read/write) than create the mysql process to insert the data.. you'll get it in no time... -----Original Message----- From: admin@buskirkgraphics.com [mailto:admin@buskirkgraphics.com] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 2:56 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Csv issue I am using a form to select a csv file and then import it into mysql and maybe im just drawling a blank here. But why is it blowing up. This thing loads like 14 million records into the database and I am clue less how it can do that with a 2 record csv file. <form enctype='multipart/form-data' action=? method=post> Upload:<input type=file name=filename> <input type=submit value='Upload'></form> $row = 1; $filename = $_POST['filename']; $handle = fopen("$filename", "r"); while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) { $num = count($data); echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n"; $row++; } fclose($handle); print "Import done"; This will produce millions of lines until i go in and stop the process on the server. I know its stupid but im drawling a blank as to why its doing this. The csv file has 2 lines in period. <p> 0 fields in line 1: <br /></p> <p> 0 fields in line 2: <br /></p> ect for millions of records. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
