Import CSV to mysql
Right I need some help with this:
I am trying to import a .csv file into a mysql database using php, rather than doing it manually through phpmyadmin.
This is the code I have at the moment:
if($_REQUEST['func'] == "iid"){
$db->conn = new mysqli(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME) or
die('There was a problem connecting to the database.');
$csv = $_POST['csv-file'];
$path = $csv;
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen($path, "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ";")) !== FALSE) {
$row++;
$data_entries[] = $data ;
}
fclose($handle);
}
// this you'll have to expand
foreach($data_entries as $line){
$sql = $db->conn->prepare('INSERT INTO `bd_results`');
$db->execute($line);
}
}
However I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::execute() in /homepages/19/d372249701/htdocs/business-sites/bowlplex-doubles-new/admin/scores.php on line 44
For reference I am using this code taken from: Here
I am not well versed in the $db->conn business I'm used to mysql_connect!! so any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this simple one.
if (($handle = fopen("google.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$db->conn->query("INSERT INTO values('" . implode('\',\'', $data) . "');");
}
fclose($handle);
}
Your script might also need to add quotes to the CSV values if they don't have quotes already. If you'll be needing to deal with quotes and all in your CSV files, I recommend you look at my blog post at http://www.fusionswift.com/2012/07/php-import-csv-to-mysql/

Answer 2

foreach($data_entries as $line) {
$stmt = $db->conn->prepare('INSERT INTO `bd_results` (field1, field2) VALUES (?, ?)');
$stmt->bindParam('ss', $field1Value, $field2Value);
list($field1Value, $field2Value) = $line
$stmt->execute();
}
Where $field1Value is first CSV column, $field2Value is second CSV column and both are of type string, specified as such in bindParam() method.
Basically you will need to prepare the query in its entirety, then you can assign variables to it, and once the variables have desired values you execute the query using execute() method.
This is how you use prepared statements. Personally I'd go with Mahn's suggestion though and avoid using prepared statements for such a task unless you need to process the data while on it.
mysqli_stmt::bind_param
mysqli_stmt::execute
