How to update specific column using fgetcsv - php

Question

I'm trying to update a specific column through fgetcsv. But the problem is all the data are the same. Can someone help me about this? I don't know how to make the use of grade_id here because there are no grade_id in csv only in the database. And im doing it with only just file uploading.
Here's the csv. I just only want the midterm grade to be updated. But only the value 64 is inserted.
here's the result. The output should be 75,80,64 not 64,64,64
here's my database structure
here's my code
if(isset($_POST["Import"])){
$term = $_POST['term'];
$fac_code = $_POST['fac_code'];
$sch_year = $_POST['schoolyear'];
$section = $_POST['sec'];
$semester = $_POST['semester'];
$sub = $_POST['sub'];
echo $filename=$_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
$heading = true;
if($_FILES["file"]["size"] > 0)
{
$file = fopen($filename, "r");
while (($emapData = fgetcsv($file, 10000, ",")) !== FALSE)
{
if($heading) {
// unset the heading flag
$heading = false;
// skip the loop
continue;
}
//to get the last column
$last = end($emapData);
$sql1 ="SELECT * FROM grade WHERE subj_descr ='$sub' AND section = '$section'";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql1);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
$gradeid = $row['grade_id'];
$sql = "UPDATE grade SET midterm_grade = '$last' WHERE grade_id = '$grade_id'";
$result = mysqli_query( $con, $sql );
}
}
fclose($file);
//throws a message if data successfully imported to mysql database from excel file
echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">
alert(\"CSV File has been successfully Imported.\");
window.location = \"homefaculty.php\"
</script>";
//close of connection
mysqli_close($con);
}
}

Your loop for updating in mysql is done just after your fetch your last value
In means in your code you do 3 loops for updating all value
$sql1 ="SELECT * FROM grade WHERE subj_descr ='$sub' AND section = '$section'";
This loop which fetch always the same result is called 3 times.
"UPDATE grade SET midterm_grade = '$last' WHERE grade_id = '$grade_id'";
In this query the grade_id comes from all the resultset
Basically you are doing this
1- get the last value of the line of CSV
2- select all records
3- update all of them with the value of 1-
4- next line
Instead of looping in all you mysql database for the SELECT, you should be able to SELECT just the record you need. I don't know if your CSV is full but do you have the grade_id in a column ? Otherwise how can you match a row of your CSV to a record in your database ?
EDIT
after discussion you said you have a unique key on section, term and subject
(You have to identify a relation between a row in CSV and a row in your database)
$last = end($emapData); //to get the last column
$section = $emapData[0]; // assuming section is the first column of CSV
$term = $emapData[1]; // assuming term is the 2nd column of CSV
$subject = $emapData[2]; // assuming subject is the 3rd column of CSV
$sql = "UPDATE grade SET midterm_grade = '$last' WHERE section = '$section' AND term = '$term' AND subject = '$subject'";
$result = mysqli_query( $con, $sql );
