Importting flat / excel / text file to php msql???Anyone know how to upload a flat file / excel spreadsheet / tab comma deliminnated text file to a MSQL database using php or a dreamweaver mxp extension?
I need a simple solution that a client can upload their products and inventory to established tables in a MySQL database.
I'm not a programmer so an all-in-one solution would help! Thanks.

For example you have an file called bla.csv
It has the value hello, hi, hoi
You could do this:
***********************************************************************************************************************
//Open the file and read the contents
$rows = file ( 'bla.csv' );
//For each line (newline) loop through the document
foreach ( $rows as $string ) {
//Seperate the values on the seperator in this case an ,
$value = explode(",", $string);
//You have just thrown your content into an array <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
$value[0] = hello
$value[1] = hi
$value[2] = hoi
//with you case you as
mysql_query("INSERT into Bla (field1, field2, field2) values ('".$value[0]."', '".$value[1]."', '".$value[2]."')"
//and so on and on <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
}
**************************************************************************************************************************
