problem with importing CVS to mysql

[dizel247]

Hello,

 

I am trying  a very simple csv import to mysql. When I import the file, it imports blanks. After my search, I realize my page doesn't pass actual path of the file, it passes just file name. When I manually add the path of the file it imports with no problem. Can some one point me to the right direction.

 

Thanks in advance.

Code Bellow:

 

page1.php

          <form action="page2.php" method="post" name="form1" id="form1">

            <table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" class="nugget">

              <tr>

                <td colspan="2" class="topheader"><div align="center"><span class="lbl">Rate Load Wizard</span></div></td>

                </tr>

              <tr>

                <td>Report Name:</td>

                <td><label>

                <select name="report_name" id="report_name">

                  <option value="">Select Report Name</option>

                  <?php

do { 

?>

                  <option value="<?php echo $row_rsAccountName['report_id']?>"><?php echo $row_rsAccountName['report_name']?></option>

                  <?php

} while ($row_rsAccountName = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsAccountName));

  $rows = mysql_num_rows($rsAccountName);

  if($rows > 0) {

      mysql_data_seek($rsAccountName, 0);

  $row_rsAccountName = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsAccountName);

  }

?>

                </select>

                </label></td>

              </tr>

              <tr>

                <td>Lodaing Data For:</td>

                <td><table width="200">

                    <tr>

                      <td><label>

                        <input type="radio" name="account_type" value="1" id="acc_data_type_0" />

                        Customers</label></td>

                    </tr>

                    <tr>

                      <td><label>

                        <input type="radio" name="account_type" value="2" id="acc_data_type_1" />

                        Vendors</label></td>

                    </tr>

                </table></td>

              </tr>

              <tr>

                <td>Select File to load:</td>

                <td><label>

                  <input name="userfile" type="file" class="sm" id="userfile" />

                  </label>                </td>

              </tr>

              <tr>

                <td> </td>

                <td><label>

                  <div align="right">

                    <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="submit" />

                    </div>

                </label></td>

              </tr>

            </table>

            </form>

Page2.php

 

<?php

print_r($_POST);

$path = $_POST['userfile'];

$fcontents = file ("$path");

echo $path;

  for($i=0; $i<sizeof($fcontents); $i++) {

  $line = trim($fcontents[$i]);

  $arr = explode(",", $line);

  #if your data is comma separated

  # instead of tab separated,

  # change the '\t' above to ','

  $reportname=$_POST['report_name'];

$account_type=$_POST['account_type'];

$sql = "insert into tb_accounts (carrier_code, minutes, profit, revenue, cost, report_id, account_type) values ('$arr[0]', '$arr[1]', '$arr[2]', '$arr[3]', '$arr[4]', '$reportname', '$account_type')";  

 

  mysql_query($sql);

  echo $sql ."<br>\n";

  if(mysql_error()) {

echo mysql_error() ."<br>\n";

  }

}

 

?>

Debug:

 

Array ( [report_name] => 2 [account_type] => 1 [userfile] => test.csv [submit] => submit ) test.csv

insert into tb_accounts (carrier_code, minutes, profit, revenue, cost, report_id, account_type) values ('', '', '', '', '', '2', '1')

Do you have your register_globals enabled in your php.ini file?

 

That would be the problem, you might have to declare the variable

 

$var = $_POST['fieldname'];
