Hi Gary
First of all download MyODBC from the MySQL website if not done already.
This will give you a new odbc driver in control panel.
The variables below for ipaddress, dbname, userid and password should all be on
PHPMyAdmin which is the way most hosting companies allow you to manage MySQL.
You may need to ask for the IP because it isn't always just an IP . On one of
my sites it is "cluster.mysqlinstance.domainname.com".
This fox code downloads from one of my databases.
nMySQL1=Sqlstringconnect("Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver}; Server=<ipaddress>;
Database=<dbname>; UID=<userid>; PWD=<pass>; Option=3")
If nMySQL1>=0
SQLEXEC(nMySQL1,"select * from tblagents","crs")
Select crs
Endif
SQLDISCONNECT(nMySQL1)
Once you have a handle to the database via Stringconnect you can fire any SQL
commands at it.
I sometimes have weird issues where commands do not complete. AsyncMode in the
properties usually fixes this.
SQLSETPROP(nMySQL, 'asynchronous', .F.)
UDL files are a good way to get at a connection string. If you haven't used
them before right click on your desktop/new/text doc. Rename this to .UDL and
run it.
You'll get the standard windows wizard. Fill in the blanks and test connection.
Rename back to .txt open it and there's your connstring.
If you can't connect remotely to the MySQL database another way is to FTP the
file and run a php webpage both via fox.
Google has lots of resources for parsing a csv in php. This is the page at the
top of the list
http://php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php
Cheers
Graham

I'm not great at PHP but I'm learning. Tables are cTeams, cGames, cTmstats.
The cTmstats gets updated each week along with cGames that have been played.
I don't know how to update the MySQL cTmStats with the foxpro cTmstats.dbf each
Tuesday morning. I need to update the MySQL tables at godaddy with my foxpro
data and I don't know how. PHP gives me access to MySQL but how do I connect
foxpro? ... I tried delimited text but they usually crash at 1/2 to 2/3rds
using MyAdmin... whatever its called.

I would do update statements as well as insert statements.
You can crunch many togther via a union and pass a long string as a script
So how do you set up to accomplish this? I would make two passes to identify
updates to existing rows and then add in new rows. Create a script per table
for both types of statements.
Just a guess but you have a row for each team in a game ? You also put in some
rows to support players accomplishments in that game?
Inserts are pretty simple :
INSERT INTO table1 (field1, field2)
VALUES ('foo', 'bar');
UPDATE table1 SET field1 = 'foobar', field2' = 'new value' where ID=???
