Import CSV file to Mysql Database in PHP
Question
I tried to import a csv file from another server using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE but it gives me an error The user update failed: Can't find file , even the file is exist in the path given. I also tried the LOAD DATA INFILE but User access denied
Is there's any other way to import a csv file directly to the file path (without using any submit button) in the mysql database and delete the current data in the dbase table if there's a new csv file uploaded?
EDIT : I tried also this PHP script, to import the csv file without any button, but the csv file data is not importing
PHP (2nd code):
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "user", "password", "dbasename");
$file = "/var/www/html/files/filename.csv";
$handle = fopen($file,'r');
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 10000, ",")) !== FALSE){
$num = count($data);
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++){
$col[$c] = $data[$c];
}
$col1 = $data[0];
$col2 = $data[1];
$col3 = $data[2];
$col4 = $data[3];
$col5 = $data[4];
// SQL Query to insert data into DataBase
$query = "INSERT INTO dbname.tablename(col1,col2,col3,col4,col5) VALUES('".$col1."','".$col2."','".$col3."','".$col4."','".$col5."')";
$mysqli->query($query);
}
fclose($handle);
Here's the PHP:
$sql = "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'filename.csv'
INTO TABLE dbname.tablename
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES;";
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","user","password","db");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()){
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
};
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
if (mysqli_affected_rows($con) == 1){
$message = "The data was successfully added!";
} else {
$message = "The user update failed: ";
$message .= mysqli_error($con);
};
echo $message;

This has been asked and answered before. Use google better: Mysql permission errors with 'load data'
You need to grant file permissions to the mysql user.

you also can try use
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","user","password","db");
$file = fopen("filename.csv","r");
while ($data = fgetcsv ($file)){
print_r($data);
$sql = 'insert into ...'
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
}

<?php $connect = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "testing"); if(isset($_POST["submit"])) { if($_FILES['file']['name']) { $filename = explode(".", $_FILES['file']['name']); if($filename[1] == 'csv') { $handle = fopen($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], "r"); while($data = fgetcsv($handle)) { $item1 = mysqli_real_escape_string($connect, $data[0]); $item2 = mysqli_real_escape_string($connect, $data[1]); $query = "INSERT into excel(excel_name, excel_phone) values('$item1','$item2')"; mysqli_query($connect, $query); } fclose($handle); echo "<script>alert('Import done');</script>"; } } } ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title></title> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" /> <style> table{ border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; color: #588c7e; font-family: monospace; font-size: 25px; text-align: left; } th{ background-color: #588c7e; color: white; } tr:nth-child(even) {background-color: #f2f2f2} </style> </head> <body> <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <div align="center"> <label>Select CSV File:</label> <input type="file" name="file" /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Import" class="btn btn-info" /> </div> </form><br><br> </body> </html>
