How can i get the browse file instead of typing the full path name..

Please help in this.

thanks

Made some modifications. My .txt file has 3 columns separated by a “|” (pipe) character. The script displays the file data, counts the rows, but does not enter the data into the database. Any comments?

$csvcontent = fread($file,$size);

fclose($file);

$con = @mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbusername,$dbuserpassword) or die(mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db($datasource) or die(mysql_error());

$lineseparator = “\n”;
$fieldseparator = “|”;

$lines = 0;
$queries = “”;
$linearray = array();

$count = 0;

foreach(split($lineseparator,$csvcontent) as $line) {

$count = $count + 1;

$lines++;

$line = trim($line,” \t”);

$line = str_replace(“\r”,”",$line);

/************************************
This line escapes the special character. remove it if entries are already escaped in the csv file
************************************/
$line = str_replace(“‘”,”\’”,$line);
/*************************************/

$linearray = explode($fieldseparator,$line);

$linemysql = implode(“””,$linearray);

if($addauto)

$query = “insert into INDICATORS values(‘$count’,'$linemysql’);”;

else

$query = “insert into INDICATORS values(‘$linemysql’);”;

$queries .= $query . “\n”;

@mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

echo “$linemysql\n”;
}

I did notice something odd however, I modified the script to work with a form and I did notice that for searching, the last field was getting buggered up because the new line char (either \r or \n or both) was still being recorded in the MySQL database.

To that end, if you replace:
$line = str_replace(“\r”,”",$line);

with:
$line = str_replace(‘\r’,”,$line);

it will keep the return from being a problem, as for the new line, I have added a little something that allows for inserting new records, but updates existing records, so that you don’t end up with duplicate entries. At the top of the code below, you will see where I made the same fix for the actual new line char.

$linemysql = implode(“‘,’”,$linearray);

$newlinemysql = str_replace(‘\n’,”,$linemysql);

if($addauto) {

switch($databasetable) {

case(‘address’):

$duplicatevals = “address = VALUES(address),
city = VALUES(city),state = VALUES(state),

zip = VALUES(zip)”;

break;

case(‘owner’):

$duplicatevals = “ownername = VALUES(ownername),
housetype = VALUES(housetype),

addresskey = VALUES(addresskey)”;

break;

}

$query = “insert into $databasetable values(”,’$newlinemysql’)

ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE

$duplicatevals”;

} else {

$query = “insert into $databasetable values(‘$linemysql’)

ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE

$duplicatevals”;

}

Also, in my form I added the table name and whether I wanted the table to be [boolean] “addauto” or not as a single input from a drop-down (comma separated), then split the result at the top of the simplecsvimport script.

Finally, you have to remember to set indexes in the database for the, “ON DUPLICATE…” to work, auto increments will not work in this case, so you have to set a secondary index on the auto increment tables, the tables that don’t auto increment and have unique fields work with the single index if that is the route you would like to go.

I hope this helps someone!

Cheers!

ALL OF THIS ABOVE WORKS WONDERFUL

THIS IS WHAT I NEED HELP WITH
—————————————————————————-
1. I need a script to add to the above file that will download the photos. If you see below i need a script that automatically gets the CURRENT date and time that the script is ran. There server holds pic from the last 7 days and is constantly updated. Once this script is ran it will download the data into the table that i created.

2. Then, I need a script that queries the mysql database looking for entries that have photos and then retrieve the actual photos directly from their remote servers. This csv file DOES NOT download photos, just data that i can use to run a script to retrieve the photos at a given spot. See below.
Below are the instructions I received.

INSTRUCTIONS
Photo data is retrieved by HTTP. The photos data is updated once daily and is available for download as a CSV file. You can then write a script using the data from the CSV file to point back to the images on our image server. YOU MUST SUPPLY A VALUE FOR THE QUERY STRING last_updt > ‘YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS’ for the URL to return data. The field last_updt is the date value for the last time that a photo was changed on the listing.

You will need to replace the user_code and password place holders (XXXX) with the login credentials provided to you.

Step 1: To retrieve the primary listing photo data CSV file go to the URL below.

http://remotewebserver/Data3pv/DownloadBRSaction.asp?user_code=XXX&password=XXXX&query_str=last_updt%20>%20‘YYYYMMDD%20HH:MM:SS’&data_type=PHOTOS

Step 2: The photos table data should download in a CSV format.

Step 3: Using the Y flags and the ML Number in the data you can link back to our image locations.

Our primary image directory path is as follows:

http://remoteserver/folder/folder/folder/Last3DigistsofML#/listing#.jpg

For example- The primary photo for listing number 1899430 is located at

http://remoteserver/folder/folder/1/430/1899430.jpg

Our additional image directory path structure is as follows:

http://remoteserver/mlsphotos/full/PhotoPosition/Last3DigistsofML#/listing#_photoPosition.jpg

For example- The second photo for listing number 1899430 is located at

http://remoteserver/folder/folder/2/430/1899430_2.jpg

Hope you can help

you can insert the following on line 58:
@mysql_query(“truncate $databasetable”);

but this is non reversible! so be careful

TRUNCATE, UPDATE? how do i get this in the query?

1) Are you sure that the CSV file has the exact same number of columns as the table in the database?
2) Is the field separator in this CSV file really a comma? or is it a tab for instance or other? If it’s not a comma, change the value of $fieldseparator on line 12
3) The table need to be already created in the database before attempting to load data into it. Are you sure you have it?
