ToonMariner Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I am fairly sure you can import a csv directly by phpmyadmin... Alternatively (and thios wouldn't take long to do) you could write a php script to parse the file and generate sql to be excuted. store it in a txt file and you can insert it all that way (this would also give you option of filtering out rows or columns shoudl you wish.

btherl Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 the table has 25 rows but the data that my boss gave me only needs to be inserted to 7 out of the 25 rows only. I assume you mean 7 of 25 columns, not 7 of 25 rows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixeltrace Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 hi, yes. 7 of 25 rows. sorry. hope you could help me with this. what is the php script to run this? i tried importing using csv file but i am getting some problems. all of the items are being inserted to just 1 row instead of going to its respective rows. attached is a copy of my csv file. hope you could help me with this. thanks!
