Tools / Scripts for importing csv to db table - php

In tried importing a csv into a table using phpMyAdmin and I'm getting permission errors so I'm looking for any php scripts available around that I can use.
What scripts are available? Can ane point to any free one's?

fgetcsv is the php function you should use.
For details see here.
Sample code here..
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("test.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
// write insert query here
echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
}
}
fclose($handle);
}
Thanks.

php fgetcsv can not get scientific notation value as it show in formula area

I hava a csv file with data like this:
enter image description here
My code to read this csv file is:
<?php
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("test.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
}
}
fclose($handle);
}
It outputs:
1 fields in line 1:
1.19617E+11
1 fields in line 2:
1.13953E+11
1 fields in line 3:
1.19501E+11
But what I expect is actual value in csv(value display in formula area):
119616896266
113953402648
119501389455
Can anyone help to solve this? Thank you!

rewrite content in excel file column php

I need to read an excel file in my codeigniter project. This is my example file.
I need to rewrite dynamic content(eg %VAR1 and %VAR2 ) inmsg field with the content in corresponding column.
ie The msg content in first row will be Dear (John) this I sa demo message. 8952 test.
The number of dynamic content may vary from 0 to n.(%VAR1, %VAR2, %VAR3 etc).
Please help me to do this
This is my code:
$filename=$_FILES["contactFile"]["tmp_name"];
if (($handle = fopen($filename, "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
}
}
fclose($handle);
}
it displays content in each column. But how do i replace with another column value

PHP read csv and load it into postgres with PDO

I have .csv file with 9k rows. When I use script from php manual :
<?php
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("test.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ";")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
}
}
fclose($handle);
}
?>
I got on my output everysingle cell from the csv file.
Problem occurs when I want to treat every row as record create object from it and store it into database. I have modified it like:
if (($handle = fopen("test.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ";")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
$record= new Record($db);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
$record->$attributes[$c] = utf8_encode($data[$c]);
}
$record->Store();
}
fclose($handle);
}
In this case only about 2k records are store into mine PostgreSQL database, but no exception or error is shown. I have no idea why my loop stops. Everytime i run the script it loads into mine database different amount of records between 1,6k and 2,1k.
I have no limits set on my PostgreSQL (At least i don't knew of any..)
Can anyone explain me what am I doing wrong?
Two Things here I will change
A. change the !== FALSE) to !=false), don't ask me why , it sometimes work
B. do NOT NEW you record instance in the loop without unset it , you are creating 2000 new instance so that may be the reason.
You could try the copy statement. I belive it is similar to MySql LOAD DATA IN FILE
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-copy.html
If it's just the data you need to add, it would be considerably faster that any other method.

while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 10000000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
// echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++)
{
$url = $doc->createElement('url');
$root->appendChild($url);
$loc = $doc->createElement('loc',htmlentities($data[$c]));
$url->appendChild($loc);
$lastmod = $doc->createElement('lastmod',date('Y-m-d'));
$url->appendChild($lastmod);
$freq = $doc->createElement('changefreq','daily');
$url->appendChild($freq);
$priority = $doc->createElement('priority',0.9);
$url->appendChild($priority);
// echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
}
$doc->save("C:\\xampp\htdocs\yii\branch\seo_tagsdev.xml");
