This discussion is starting to go over my head, but fgetscv works with
uploaded files (in PHP5 anyway). Here's some sample code:
if(isset($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])){
$csvfile=fopen($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],"rb");
if($csvfile==FALSE){die('error opening file');};
while(($aryData=fgetcsv($csvfile))!==FALSE){
//etc
}
