Note Submitter: dabigteez at yahoo dot com ---- Just a quickie note- I was trying to find a way to get the contents of a .CSV file into a database and had to work at it quite a bit. the file was set up as a multi-dimensional array eg: item1 name,item1 description,item1 attribute,etc item2 name,item2 description,item2 attribute,etc item3 name,item3 description,item3 attribute,etc I wanted to take the elements of each line and import them to the proper field of a certain table in an MS SQL Server database. the following code worked: //get filecontents into array $rsFileContents = file("C:/webserver/webpages/folder/".$BulkImportFile); //loop through array elements and explode each element into a new array $i=count($rsFileContents); //this gets the number of lines(elements) that need to be exploded $x=0; While($x<$i){ $newContents = explode(',', $rsFileContents[$x]); //modify any elements that need to be modified and insert them into the proper db field $weight=rtrim($newContents[10]); $rsInputFileContents = $db->Execute("INSERT INTO tablename (Item_Name,Item_Desc,Item_attribute) Values ('$newContents[0]','$newContents[1]','$newContents[2]',etc))"); $x++; } Hope this helps someone..........
