I have a simple scripts to upload csv file and it works . But how if I want to handle the data with headers specified? Such as if my table have 3 columns: FirstName,LastName,Address and now my csv file is:
Address,FirstName,LastName
myadd,myfname,mylname
How to insert the data correctly into mysql according to the headers even it's not arrange same as table column name?
If I using my scripts , it will just insert myadd,myfname and mylname into FirstName,LastName and Address , even the headers will be inserted as well.
if (isset($_POST['upload'])) {
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'])) {
echo "<h1>" . "File ". $_FILES['filename']['name'] ." uploaded successfully." . "</h1>";
echo "<p>contents:</p>";
readfile($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name']);
}
$handle = fopen($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], "r");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$import="INSERT into CSVtest($column1,$column2,$column3,$column4,$column5) values('$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]')";
mysql_query($import) or die(mysql_error());
}
fclose($handle);
Echo "Done";
}
You say you have scripts : "If I using my scripts , it will just insert myadd,myfname and mylname into FirstName,LastName and Address , even the headers will be inserted as well."
I assume your scripts are generating the SQL to do this, namely you are saying INSERT INTO tablename VALUES(v1,v2,v3);
instead of doing it that way, do a named insert INSERT INTO user (f1,f2,f3) VALUES('v1','v2','v3');
in other words specify the field names in the script that generates the sql.
