I am very new at this and am having trouble migrating to php and mysql from
a different system (WebCatalog).
I want to start dumping files to text and let php use them to populate mysql
on the fly as I start migrating.
----------------snip-----------------------
$db = mysql_pconnect("host", "user", "pass");
$query = "insert into catalogwinetmp values
include("testsql")";
$result = mysql_query($query);
---------------end-snip--------------------
The contents of "testsql" look like this
(19, 38080, 'Senejac', 'Haut-Medoc / Cru Bourgeois', '', 12, 1995, 'Bottle -
.75L', 'LN, LE, CI', 135, '/collectors/images/bottles/38080.JPG'),
(20, 38780, 'Yquem', 'Sauternes / Premier Cru Superieur', '', 1, 1927,
'Bottle - .75L', 'TS, LP, CI', 465, '/collectors/images/bottles/38780.JPG');
Just with more lines (1-18).
But I can not get rid of errors in the
$query = "insert into catalogwinetmp values
include("testsql")";
No matter what quotes and semi-colons I put in testsql or in this script.
If I try to set the contents of the include into a variable as in:
$rowsToAdd = include(testsql);
all I get is the value 1, I guess this is because it is successful.
If I could get a variable to contain the contents of the include I am not
sure if I could use it in the script.
I am not sure if I am even getting warm or if I am on another planet.
1. Any ideas how I can simply make php get a text file into the mysql
database?
2. Is there a way to set a (albeit maybe large) variable with the contents
of an include file?
Sorry to sound like such a php newbie, but I am.
Kind thanks,
Paul
