CSV Import Array

[viviosoft]

Hello all -

 

Currently I have functions that will parse a csv file and insert the values into a database.  That code is working.  However, I want to take it a step further and ONLY insert selected fields from the csv file.  For example, I have 14 rows in the csv and of those I only want to import values into the database of the rows that I define. 

 

So, gName, fName and id -> take those and pump those values into the database.  I'm sure this a possible but not sure of the direction I should take.  Any help on my problem would be excellent!

 

Here's the code:

 

csv_file_to_mysql_table('tim 3.csv', 'growers');

function csv_file_to_mysql_table($source_file, $target_table, $max_line_length = 10000)
{
    if (($handle = fopen("$source_file", "r")) !== FALSE) {
        $columns = fgetcsv($handle, $max_line_length, ",");
        foreach ($columns as &$column) {
            $column = str_replace(".", "", $column);
        }

        $insert_query_prefix = "INSERT INTO $target_table (" . join(",", $columns) . ")\nVALUES";
        while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, $max_line_length, ",")) !== FALSE) {

            while (count($data) < count($columns))

                array_push($data, NULL);

            $query = "$insert_query_prefix (" . join(",", quote_all_array($data)) . ");";
            mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

        }

        fclose($handle);
    }
}

function quote_all_array($values)
{
    foreach ($values as $key => $value)
        if (is_array($value))
            $values[$key] = quote_all_array($value);
        else
            $values[$key] = quote_all($value);
    return $values;
}

function quote_all($value)
{
    if (is_null($value))
        return "NULL";

    $value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'";
    return $value;
}

 

 

Here's some sample data:

if this is your problem, and how youre looking to fix it - your in the wrong profession.

Haha, really Muddy_Funster!  This is how you respond?  Why even leave a reply?  What I take from your response is that you don't know how to answer the question or you don't know what I want to accomplish or (the real reason I think) you don't know how to do what I want.  You should stay off this forum and let the REAL professionals reply.

This may help -

<?PHP
$w_file = "NAME_OF_YOUR_CSV_FILE";
/* put the contents into an array */
/* presumes the file does NOT contain Long,Lat,id,gName,fId,fName,fldId,fldName,fldAcers,featureID,objID,fInsu,fFSA,fBid */
$lines = file($w_file);
/* loop thru the array capturing the desired info into a new array */
$x = count($lines);
for($i=0; $i<$x; $i++) {
$temp_data = explode(",", $lines[$i]);
$data = $data . $temp_data[2] . ", " . $temp_data[3] . ", " . $temp_data[5] . "\n";
}
$new_array = explode("\n", $data);
echo "<PRE>";
print_r($new_array);
echo "</pre>";
?>

Absoloutly not a problem, I'm not really the "do someone elses JOB for them" kinda guy anyway, which is what I assume you take to be a "real" professional in your broken little mind.
