how to import a text file into phpmyadmin or mysql database

Question

I have a text file with 400k of data named data.txt example

I want to import it to a database named 'dataflow.sql'

and let it create 3 rows with the names from the example and fetch the data based on the comas

any help is appreciated

You'll have to craft a SQL request using LOAD DATA:

LOAD DATA INFILE '/path/to/data.txt' 
INTO TABLE my_table 
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' 
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS;
