using php to upload a file and import that data into a Mysql table

[gamerengineer]

I think this is the right section to post this is in.....

 

Anyway.....I'm building a web site  that requires i have  functionality to upload a tab delimited file (or some file format that is easiest) via php and insert the data into MYSQL. I've searched for many third party scripts but none seem to work. So I've decided to move to the community to see if someone can give me insight on how i might accomplish this script. I have some third party scripts but I'm not sure if they'd be of any use.

 

Thank you kindly
