Jessica Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 There are plenty of tutorials.Upload the file, then read the contents into a string, then query your database. If you have already written some code and it's not working, post the code and we will help. Otherwise, you need to get started by reading the tutorials.

Jessica Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Okay, so you're stuck on how to get those $vars out of the $file? Maybe you need to look at the explode() function.http://php.net/explodeI should have specified that in addition to posting code you'll need to tell us what doesn't work.

Jessica Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 You're missing a ) in your foreach and a ; in the line below it.

rbrunner Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 thanks that helped. When I am doing this do I need to have it go to a different page to have it input it into the database?

Jessica Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Why would you need to do that?Before asking if you can or can't do something, it's always best to TRY first.

rbrunner Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 the reason I asked is that my boss said that it wasn't possible to do it on one page. so to do it on 2.
