Answer 1

If i understood correctly,you can do something in controller action
public function actionYourActionName(){
if (isset($_FILES['csv_file']) && !empty($_FILES['csv_file'])) {
$csv = array();
$file = fopen($_FILES['csv_file']['tmp_name'], 'r');
while (($line = fgetcsv($file)) !== FALSE) {
//$line is an array of the csv elements
$csv[] = $line;
}
fclose($file);
for ($i = 1; $i < count($csv); $i++) {
$model = new YourmodelName();
foreach ($csv[0] as $key => $value) {
$model->$value = $csv[$i][$key];
}
if($model->save()){
//do here what you want to do after saving model
}else{return $model->getErrors();}
}
}
}else{
$this->render('your view name');
}
and in your view file something like e.g.
echo CHtml::form('', 'post', array('id' => "verticalForm", 'class' => 'well form-vertical', 'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'));
echo CHtml::fileField('csv_file[]', '', array('id' => 'csv_file', 'multiple' => 'multiple'));
echo '<p class="help-block">Please upload .csv files only.</p>';
echo CHtml::submitButton('Submit', array('class' => 'btn btn-primary'));
echo CHtml::endForm();
and i suppose you have created a model.for your mysql table, hope this will help you

Answer 3

You can use "LOAD DATA" command.
Here is the example from yiiframework documentation.

Answer 4

You can get reference from YII: http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php/topic/23536-upload-data-excel-to-mysql/
**step1:**Define a Form model ie
class UserImportForm extends CFormModel
{
public $file;
/**
* #return array validation rules for model attributes.
*/
public function rules()
{
// NOTE: you should only define rules for those attributes that
// will receive user inputs.
return array(
array('file', 'file',
'types'=>'csv',
'maxSize'=>1024 * 1024 * 10, // 10MB
'tooLarge'=>'The file was larger than 10MB. Please upload a smaller file.',
'allowEmpty' => false
),
);
}
/**
* #return array customized attribute labels (name=>label)
*/
public function attributeLabels()
{
return array(
'file' => 'Select file',
);
}
}
step2: Now you need to define a form in your view.ie
Note: i have used bootstrap form widget here.you can change it based on your needs.
<div class="form">
<?php
$form = $this->beginWidget('bootstrap.widgets.BootActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'service-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
'method'=>'post',
'type'=>'horizontal',
'htmlOptions'=>array(
'enctype'=>'multipart/form-data'
)
)); ?>
<fieldset>
<legend>
<p class="note">Fields with <span class="required">*</span> are required.</p>
</legend>
<?php echo $form->errorSummary($model, 'Opps!!!', null, array('class'=>'alert alert-error span12')); ?>
<div class="control-group">
<div class="span4">
<div class="control-group <?php if ($model->hasErrors('postcode')) echo "error"; ?>">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'file'); ?>
<?php echo $form->fileField($model,'file'); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'file'); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-actions">
<?php $this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.BootButton', array('buttonType'=>'submit', 'type'=>'primary', 'icon'=>'ok white', 'label'=>'UPLOAD')); ?>
<?php $this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.BootButton', array('buttonType'=>'reset', 'icon'=>'remove', 'label'=>'Reset')); ?>
</div>
</fieldset>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
</div><!-- form -->
**step3:**Now you need to write an action in your controller to import the file.ie
public function actionImportCSV()
{
$model=new UserImportForm;
if(isset($_POST['UserImportForm']))
{
$model->attributes=$_POST['UserImportForm'];
if($model->validate())
{
$csvFile=CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'file');
$tempLoc=$csvFile->getTempName();
$sql="LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '".$tempLoc."'
INTO TABLE `tbl_user`
FIELDS
TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '\"'
LINES
TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(`name`, `age`, `location`)
";
$connection=Yii::app()->db;
$transaction=$connection->beginTransaction();
try
{
$connection->createCommand($sql)->execute();
$transaction->commit();
}
catch(Exception $e) // an exception is raised if a query fails
{
print_r($e);
exit;
$transaction->rollBack();
}
$this->redirect(array("user/index"));
}
}
$this->render("importcsv",array('model'=>$model));
}
