Hey, thank you for the great script. I have a following scenario and i want to use your script to import data located in “csv file” on my local drive in to an “existing” table (i set the var $table_name=community_fields_values) in my database. This is the sql query i want to run. can you please help me where i should i put this query in your script.

******************

$sql = “insert into jos_community_fields_values set
userid=$record->userid , field_id = 9, value=$record->Address”;

$db->query($sql);

$sql = “insert into jos_community_fields_values set
userid=$record->userid , field_id = 11, value=$record->City”;

$db->query($sql);

$sql = “insert into jos_community_fields_values set
userid=$record->userid , field_id = 19, value=$record->Zip / Postal Code”;

$db->query($sql);

$sql = “insert into jos_community_fields_values set
userid=$record->userid , field_id = 10, value=$record->State”;

$db->query($sql);

**********************

thanks,
Charlie

I think you just need to register at Assembla.

Thanks Skakunov, I was able to set the class field. The last thing I’m not able to work out is how to set the when the line/row terminates. One of my columns is a text and often has commas that show up so the import is cutting of the text field.

Is there a way with this script to ignore these commas? With php myadmin I’m able to do this by setting “Lines terminated: Auto”

Thanks.

There is an example.
You need to set the class field.

Thank you. This is a great tool.

My only problem is I can’t figure out how to get the csv loaded into my current table. I’m not sure where to add the table name.

I was able to do what i was looking for above by replacing IGNORE INTO TABLE on line 101 in file /classes/Quick_CSV_import.class.php with REPLACE INTO TABLE

This worked for me as long as there is a primary key where I needed it…not sure if this is safe for general use, but it was for me.

Hi Skakunov,
This is a great tool for my workbelt, but I have a question, when i upload the same file to the same database table, it duplicates the entries in the csv file. Is there a way to perform “If ‘primarykey’ exists, update, else insert” instead of always inserting a new row? What I am looking to do is update inventory, so since the information is already there, I need only change the quantity, but it needs the item sku to reference obviously. Thanks in advance if you can answer this and thanks again for a great program!
