i have gotten this script that imports excel to mysql data i need to modify this so that i only need to insert certain columns in the table how do i do that for example i only need to insert values in the userid and username fields??thx <? $fcontents = file ('./spreadsheet.xls'); # expects the csv file to be in the same dir as this script for($i=0; $i<sizeof($fcontents); $i++) { $line = trim($fcontents[$i]); $arr = explode("\t", $line); #if your data is comma separated # instead of tab separated, # change the '\t' above to ',' $sql = "insert into TABLENAME values ('". implode("','", $arr) ."')"; // i think this is the line need to be change mysql_query($sql); echo $sql ."<br>\n"; if(mysql_error()) { echo mysql_error() ."<br>\n"; } } ?>
