[SOLVED] Importing Excel CSV

[thomashw]

I'm trying to import (using phpmyadmin) an excel CSV to populate one of the tables in my database. I'm trying to have a little bit of HTML in one of the fields, and whenever I add it I get an error and it doesn't import the file. When I remove the HTML it imports fine.

 

Is there any way to get phpmyadmin to ignore the html and just import it as text? I believe it's the quotes that are making the error.

Backslash quotes when necessary.

 

Do this:

INSERT INTO table_name (col1) VALUES ('Isn\'t this great?')

 

or this:

INSERT INTO table_name (col1) VALUES ("Isn't this great?")

 

More examples:

INSERT INTO table_name (col1) VALUES ('a famous quote: "something".')

 

INSERT INTO table_name (col1) VALUES ("a famous quote: \"something\".")

 

INSERT INTO table_name (col1) VALUES ("a famous quote: 'something'.")

Thank you, I'll try that.
