Hi
Decided to use the fgetcsv(). couldnt get LOAD DTA INFILE to work. Im
getting close with the following script, but error message says query failed
as array doesnt contain data. Am I missing something obvious
**********************************
$YourFile = $uploadfile ;
$handle = fopen($YourFile, "r");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
list($userid, $companyid, $aimlisted, $amount, $price, $stamp, $comm,
$datetime) = explode(",", $data);
//echo
$userid."<br>".$companyid."<br>".$aimlisted."<br>".$amount."<br>".$price."<b
r>".$stamp."<br>".$comm."<br>".$datetime;
$q = "INSERT INTO transactions
(transactionid,userid,companyid,aimlisted,amount,price,stamp,comm,datetime)
VALUES ('',$userid, $companyid, $aimlisted, $amount, $price, $stamp, $comm,
'$datetime')";
$add_buy = mysql_query($q) or die('<span class=RedWarning>Query failed: '
.. mysql_error().'</span>');
}
fclose($handle);
**************************************
I echoed the variables from the list (commented out in script) and they to
show they contain no data.
can anyone see where Ive gone wrong?
Ian
