How can i insert data from a text file to mysql? - php

Question

I have some data in JSON format in a text file as below. I need to insert this data into mysql using php but can't do it.
{"address":"[phone]","service_center":"Test Sending Sms","id":3,"locked":0,"person":0,"protocol":0,"read":0,"reply_path_present":2,"seen":0,"error_code":0,"status":1,"date":1873326412,"thread_id":1,"type":-1}
My PHP file has the code like this.
<?php $source_file = "SMS2012-05-21.txt"; $handle = fopen("SMS2012-05-21.txt", "r");
$col_names = implode(",", fgetcsv($handle)); // Getting comma separated list of col name
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
mysql_select_db("messages");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle)) !== FALSE) {
$values = "";
foreach($data as $key => $value) {
if ($key != 0) $values .= ", ";
$values .= "'".mysql_escape_string($value)."'";
}
mysql_query('INSERT INTO messages ('.$col_names.') VALUES ('.$values.')');
}
?>
I can't find any result nor any error. Could any one please help me in this regard that where i am wrong?

Answer 1

You should use json_decode function to manipulate json data.
<?php
$source_file = "SMS2012-05-21.txt";
$string = file_get_contents($source_file);
$json = json_decode($string,true);
//DB Conn Handling Stuff
$cols = array(); $values = array();
foreach($json as $key=>$value)
{
array_push($cols,'`' . $key . '`');
if(is_string($value))
{
array_push($values,'\''.$value.'\'');
}
else
{
array_push ($values, $value);
}
}
$col_name = implode(',',$cols);
$col_value = implode(',',$values);
$query = 'INSERT INTO messages('.$col_name.') VALUES ('.$col_value.')';
mysql_query($query,$connection) or die(echo mysql_error());
?>

Maybe I've missed something, you should use it in this way:
<?php $source_file = "SMS2012-05-21.txt";
$handle = fopen("SMS2012-05-21.txt", "r");
$data = fread($handle, filesize($source_file));
$jsonArray = json_decode($data, true);
$keys = implode(',', array_keys($jsonArray));
$values = "'" . implode("','", $jsonArray) . "'";
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
mysql_select_db("messages");
mysql_query('INSERT INTO messages ('.$keys.') VALUES ('.$values.')');
