OK this works....almost!! Works fine with my sample data,..when i switch it over to my 6,000 line csv, it goes through about 47 of them then stops and says Query was empty. do i need ot set a buffer somewhere? its a 2 meg csv This is my code.. <?php include 'config/config-test.php'; $handle = fopen("Declare.csv", "r"); while (!feof($handle)) { // grab one line of data $data = fgets($handle); // trim the newline from end of line $data = trim($data); // put fields into array separated by ," (comma, quote), this still leaves a trailing quote that we have to get rid of $fields = explode(',"', $data); // trim the trailing quote and echo the fields for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($fields); $i++) { $fields[$i] = rtrim($fields[$i], '"'); $fields[$i] = ltrim($fields[$i], '"'); echo 'fields['. $i . ']: ' . $fields[$i] . '<br />'; } $query = sprintf("INSERT INTO curiosities (Curiosity, FirstName, LastName, Email, ZipCode, Town, Category) VALUES ('".mysql_real_escape_string($fields[0])."','".mysql_real_escape_string($fields[1])."','".mysql_real_escape_string($fields[2])."','".mysql_real_escape_string($fields[3])."','".mysql_real_escape_string($fields[4])."','".mysql_real_escape_string($fields[5])."','".mysql_real_escape_string($fields[6])."')"); # Run the insert statement mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); # Get the member_id (auto increment column) } fclose($handle); ?>
OK!!!! I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I changed the query to: mysql_query() instead of sprintr. ugh. this was a beast. thank YOU ALL a huge amount.
