PHP/MYSQL: Importing csv files through php into a mysql table - php

Question

I have been trying this code I found from this site here: https://www.johnboyproductions.com/blog/tutorial-import-a-csv-file-using-php-and-mysql
It works perfectly for me locally, but when I try the code on a live site. It says that the data is imported but does not reflect in the database. I am adding the code below:
if ($_FILES[csv][size] > 0) {
//get the csv file
$file = $_FILES[csv][tmp_name];
$handle = fopen($file,"r");
//loop through the csv file and insert into database
do {
if ($data[0]) {
mysqli_query("INSERT INTO tablename VALUES
(
'".addslashes($data[0])."',
'".addslashes($data[1])."'
)
");
}
} while ($data = fgetcsv($handle,1000,",","'"));
//
//redirect
header('Location: filename.php?success=1'); die;
}
That's the functionality part, I will post the form section below:
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1">
Choose your file: <br />
<input name="csv" type="file" id="csv" />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have tried another code that was used initially which is working now:
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
if ($_FILES['csv']['size'] > 0)
{
//get the csv file
$file = $_FILES['csv']['tmp_name'];
$handle = fopen($file,"r");
$firstRow = true;
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE)
{
if($firstRow) { $firstRow = false; }
else {
$str="INSERT INTO tablename VALUES
('' ,
'".addslashes($data[0])."',
'".addslashes($data[1])."'
) ";
$result = mysqli_query($connection,$str);
if($result)
$cnt++;
}
}
fclose($handle);
//redirect
// header('Location: filename.php?success=1'); die;
}
}
