to see if it works put the file member.txt on the root (ie c:) and try this LOAD DATA INFILE \'c:member.txt\' INTO TABLE member;

i didnt read all the code, I said to myself I\'ll stop at the first error. Submit the error message please, would be easier here is one error (in your first update) $sql = \"UPDATE contacts SET org=\'$org\',contact=\'$contact\',address=\'$address\',tel=\'$tel\',mob=\'$mob\',fax=\'$fax\',email=\'$email\',web=\'$web\',info=\'$info,type=\'$type\' WHERE id=$id\"; you are missing a \' Like I said i dont know if the rest is ok

try to remove the LOCAL : LOAD DATA INFILE \'member.txt\' INTO TABLE member;

you dont have to make 2 connections, use the syntax below: ie : select tb1.pid,tb2.name from database1.tb1,database2.tb2 where whatyouwant=whatyouneed;
