insert data from csv file to mysql with php - php

Question

i want to insert data from a csv file into my mysql database with php. But i dont know what i doing wrong.
This is my php code
if ($_FILES[csv][size] > 0){
$csv_file = $_FILES[csv][tmp_name]; // Name of your CSV file
$csvfile = fopen($csv_file, 'r');
$theData = fgets($csvfile);
$i = 0;
while (!feof($csvfile)) {
$csv_data[] = fgets($csvfile, 1024);
$csv_array = explode(",", $csv_data[$i]);
$insert_csv = array();
$insert_csv['id'] = $csv_array[0];
$insert_csv['name'] = $csv_array[1];
$insert_csv['email'] = $csv_array[2];
if(!empty($insert_csv['email'])){
$query = "INSERT INTO contacts(id,name,email)
VALUES('','".$insert_csv['name']."','".$insert_csv['email']."')";
$n=mysqli_query($database->connection,$query);
}
$i++;
}
fclose($csvfile);
}
This is my csv looks like.
id---- name ------- email
1 ---- user1--------bla#hotmail.com
2 ---- user2 --------blah
3------ user 3 ------ blah
When i run this code my mysql results are
in email table = ##0.00 "TL")$# en in my name table= also ##0.00
"TL")$#;
What do i wrong?

Answer 1

You might want to use MySQL to do the whole loading process with the LOAD DATA INFILE statement.
if($_FILES['csv']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK && $_FILES['csv']['size'] > 0) {
$query = "LOAD DATA INFILE '" . $_FILES['csv']['tmp_name']
. "' INTO TABLE contacts FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (id, name, email);";
if(!mysqli_query($query)){
die('Oops! Something went wrong!');
}
}
If required you can tweak the loading parameters (FIELDS TERMINATED BY, ENCLOSED BY, LINES TERMINATED BY).
Do take note that if you use this approach your temporary file needs to be stored in a place where its accessible by the MySQL server (like /tmp).

To start with, I think you should remove the first
$data = fgetcsv($getfile, 1000, ",");
line, outside of the while loop...

Answer 3

Please try like this as a example , it should work for you as you want
I think you missed qoutes in "
$query = "INSERT INTO contacts(id,name,email)
VALUES('".$col1."','".$col2."','".$col3."')";
"
<?php
$csv_file = 'C:\wamp\www\stockmarket\test.csv'; // Name of your CSV file with path
if (($getfile = fopen($csv_file, "r")) !== FALSE) {
$data = fgetcsv($getfile, 1000, ",");
while (($data = fgetcsv($getfile, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
$result = $data;
$str = implode(",", $result);
$slice = explode(",", $str);
$col1 = $slice[0];
$col2 = $slice[1];
$col3 = $slice[2];
// SQL Query to insert data into DataBase
$query = "INSERT INTO contacts(id,name,email)
VALUES('".$col1."','".$col2."','".$col3."')";
$s=mysql_query($query, $connect );
}
}
}
?>
