PHPNewbie55 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I am trying to create a script that imports a CSV File and allows me to Map the data to the MySQL Database. First I have a form that allows me to input what CSV file and the MySQL Database and TableName to import the records into.. Then when you click "submit" the script pulls the column names from the CSV File AND the MySQL Table, and allows me to match up what CSV Column gets imported into what MySQL Column. This is where I run into problems... Since I am pulling the info from both the CSV File and the MySQL Databases.. I don't have any preset column names.. so how would I pass on each MATCH to the IMPORT portion of the script...?? Here is the code for the MATCHING UP page.... - Just cut and pasted so the "endings and beginnings" are not accurate <?php } elseif ($action == "submit") { // require("settings.php"); $mysqlserver == ($_POST["mysqlserver"]); $mysqllogin == ($_POST["mysqllogin"]); $mysqlpassword == ($_POST["mysqlpassword"]); $mysqldb == ($_POST["mysqldb"]); $mysqltbl == ($_POST["mysqltbl"]); $csvfile == ($_POST["CSV_File"]); $CSV_File = htmlspecialchars($csvfile); // MAKE CONNECTION $conn = mysql_connect("$mysqlserver", "$mysqllogin", "$mysqlpassword"); // IF CONNECTION CANNOT BE MADE QUIT AND GIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE if (!$conn) { die('<h4>Could <u>Not</u> Connect To The Database</h4><hr>' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("$mysqldb", $conn); ###### GET CSV COLUMN NAMES ################################################################################# $feed = fopen($CSV_File, 'r'); $csv = file($CSV_File); $columns = explode(",", $csv[0]); $csv_column_names = implode("<br>", $columns); $options = ""; //$options .= "<select name=\"select\"><option value=\"\"></option>"; foreach ($columns as $value){ $options .= "<option value=\"$value\">$value</option>"; } //$options .= "</select>"; print " <table width=\"500\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\" > <tr> <td><b>Match Up The MySQL Columns With The CSV Columns</b></td> </tr><form method=\"post\" action=\"import_csv.php?action=import\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"mysqlserver\" value=\"$mysqlserver\"/> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"mysqllogin\" value=\"$mysqllogin\"/> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"mysqlpassword\" value=\"$mysqlpassword\"/> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"mysqldb\" value=\"$mysqldb\"/> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"mysqltbl\" value=\"$mysqltbl\"/> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"CSV_File\" value=\"$CSV_File\"/> "; ###### GET MYSQL COLUMN NAMES ################################################################################# $mysql_column_names = ""; $get_columns = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $mysqltbl"); while($mysql_columns = mysql_fetch_field($get_columns)) { print "<tr> <td> <div style=\"padding:5px; border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc;\"> CSV Column: <select name=\"".$mysql_columns->name."\"><option value=\"\"></option>$options</select> Should Be Inserted Into <b>".$mysql_columns->name."</b><br> </div> </td> </tr>"; } print "<tr><td><center><input type=\"submit\" value=\"submit\" /></center></td></tr></table></form>"; ?> This is the next page.. the IMPORT PROCESS... <?php } elseif ($action == "import") { $mysqlserver == ($_POST["mysqlserver"]); $mysqllogin == ($_POST["mysqllogin"]); $mysqlpassword == ($_POST["mysqlpassword"]); $mysqldb == ($_POST["mysqldb"]); $mysqltbl == ($_POST["mysqltbl"]); $csvfile == ($_POST["CSV_File"]); $CSV_File = htmlspecialchars($csvfile); // MAKE CONNECTION $conn = mysql_connect("$mysqlserver", "$mysqllogin", "$mysqlpassword"); // IF CONNECTION CANNOT BE MADE QUIT AND GIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE if (!$conn) { die('<h4>Could <u>Not</u> Connect To The Database</h4><hr>' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("$mysqldb", $conn); ############################################ ## THIS IS WHERE I HAVE THE PROBLEM... ## HOW DO I PASS THE INFO FROM THE PREVIOUS FORM ## TO THIS ONE............................ ############################################ $insert_value = ""; $get_columns = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $mysqltbl"); $mysql_columns = mysql_fetch_field($get_columns); foreach ($mysql_columns as $value) { $insert_value .= ($_POST['$value']); } ?> What would be the best way to pass on that info to the import portion of the script and each one have a:: $value1 == ($_POST["value2"]); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82556-solved-problems-submitting-variables/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
