Add Column and Value existing CSV

[eugenevz]

Hi

 

I have a script which picks up CSV files and inserts into a table (mysql).

 

I am a beginner and finding it difficult to get the script to add an additional column to existing CSV, and add value to column, for each row...

 

Here is the script.... 

How can I manipulate $csv and add a column (including separator) and value ($filedate) for each row?  Help much appreciated.

 

for example:

 

CSV contains:

Number, Name, LastName

1, John, Thomas

2, Jeffrey, James

 

I need to add:

Number, Name, LastName, Date

1, John, Thomas, 2014-10-31

2, Jeffrey, James, 2014-10-31

<?php



#! /usr/bin/env php

$databasehost = "localhost"; 

$databasename = "****"; 

$databasetable = "****"; 

$databaseusername="****"; 

$databasepassword = "****"; 

$fieldseparator = ","; 

$lineseparator = "\n";

$files = glob("*ETF_*.csv");

$filedate = "2014-10-31";



if (empty($files)) {

    die("No records were loaded.");

}

else 

foreach($files as $csv)

$etf_array = array(

            PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_LOCAL_INFILE => true,

            PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

{

try {

    $pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=$databasehost;dbname=$databasename", 

        $databaseusername, $databasepassword, $etf_array   

    );

} 

catch (PDOException $e) {

    die("database connection failed: ".$e->getMessage());

}

$affectedRows = $pdo->exec("

      LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE ".$pdo->quote($csv)." INTO TABLE `$databasetable`

      FIELDS TERMINATED BY ".$pdo->quote($fieldseparator)."

      LINES TERMINATED BY ".$pdo->quote($lineseparator)."

      IGNORE 1 LINES");



echo "Daily - Loaded a total of $affectedRows records from $csv.\n"; 

}

?>

I assume you only want to add todays date to the database and not the csv file aswell?

 

Add the following to the end of your query

 SET date_column = CURRENT_DATE()

change date_column to the actual name of your column you want to add the date to
