Trying to load CSV into MySql table depending on name

Question

Hi I'm trying to write a script that will load csv's to different tables depending on their name.

For example Brooklyn Nets 24-01-2015.csv or Brooklyn Nets 28-01-2015.csv should be loaded to the Brooklyn Nets table on the mysql database but Boston Celtics 24-01-2015.csv should be skipped. The CSV fields match up with the table so there is no need for mapping.

I have no idea where to start. Does anyone have any pointers?

Here you have complete example about how to import CSV

<?php

$connect = mysql_connect('localhost','root','12345');
if (!$connect) {
die('Could not connect to MySQL: ' . mysql_error());
}

$cid =mysql_select_db('test',$connect);
// supply your database name

define('CSV_PATH','C:/wamp/www/csvfile/');
// path where your CSV file is located

$csv_file = CSV_PATH . "infotuts.csv"; // Name of your CSV file
$csvfile = fopen($csv_file, 'r');
$theData = fgets($csvfile);
$i = 0;
while (!feof($csvfile)) {
$csv_data[] = fgets($csvfile, 1024);
$csv_array = explode(",", $csv_data[$i]);
$insert_csv = array();
$insert_csv['ID'] = $csv_array[0];
$insert_csv['name'] = $csv_array[1];
$insert_csv['email'] = $csv_array[2];
$query = "INSERT INTO csvdata(ID,name,email)
VALUES('','".$insert_csv['name']."','".$insert_csv['email']."')";
$n=mysql_query($query, $connect );
$i++;
}
fclose($csvfile);

echo "File data successfully imported to database!!";
mysql_close($connect);
?>

About how to get table name from file name, when you get the uploaded file try to parse name and you will get the table:

if ($_FILES[csv][size] > 0) { 

    //get the csv file 
    $file = $_FILES[csv][tmp_name];  <-- // Parse this
   ...
}
