Step 3
Create one PHP page index.php and add the following code into that PHP page.
<?php
ob_start();
/********************************/
/* Code from www.jijokjose.com */
/********************************/
$databasehost = "localhost";
$databasename = "db_test";
$databasetable = "test";
$databaseusername ="root";
$databasepassword = "";
$fieldseparator = ",";
$lineseparator = "\n";
$csvfile = "upload_file.csv";
/********************************/
/* Would you like to add an ampty field at the beginning of these records?
/* This is useful if you have a table with the first field being an auto_increment integer
/* and the csv file does not have such as empty field before the records.
/* Set 1 for yes and 0 for no. ATTENTION: don't set to 1 if you are not sure.
/* This can dump data in the wrong fields if this extra field does not exist in the table
/********************************/
$addauto = 0;
/********************************/
/* Would you like to save the mysql queries in a file? If yes set $save to 1.
/* Permission on the file should be set to 777. Either upload a sample file through ftp and
/* change the permissions, or execute at the prompt: touch output.sql && chmod 777 output.sql
/********************************/
$save = 1;
$outputfile = "output.sql";
/********************************/
if(!file_exists($csvfile)) {
echo "File not found. Make sure you specified the correct path.\n";
exit;
}
$file = fopen($csvfile,"r");
if(!$file) {
echo "Error opening data file.\n";
exit;
}
$size = filesize($csvfile);
if(!$size) {
echo "File is empty.\n";
exit;
}
$csvcontent = fread($file,$size);
fclose($file);
$con = @mysql_connect($databasehost,$databaseusername,$databasepassword) or die(mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db($databasename) or die(mysql_error());
$lines = 0;
$queries = "";
$linearray = array();
$i=0;
foreach(split($lineseparator,$csvcontent) as $line) {
ob_get_clean();
$lines++;
$line = trim($line," \t");
$line = str_replace("\r","",$line);
/************************************
This line escapes the special character. remove it if entries are already escaped in the csv file
************************************/
$line = str_replace("'","\'",$line);
/*************************************/
$linearray = explode($fieldseparator,$line);
$linemysql = implode("','",$linearray);
if($i++!=0)
{
if($addauto)
$query = "insert into $databasetable values('','$linemysql');";
else
$query = "insert into $databasetable values('$linemysql');";
$queries .= $query . "\n";
}
@mysql_query($query);
}
@mysql_close($con);
if($save) {
if(!is_writable($outputfile)) {
echo "File is not writable, check permissions.\n";
}
else {
$file2 = fopen($outputfile,"w");
if(!$file2) {
echo "Error writing to the output file.\n";
}
else {
fwrite($file2,$queries);
fclose($file2);
}
}
}
echo "Found a total of $lines records in this csv file.\n";
?>
Step 4
Create an empty file output.sql then save the files upload_file.csv, output.sql and index.php into any one WAMP folder.
Step 5
Open index.php file from WAMP server
