RE: [PHP-DB] How to insert to DB from txt??? Please help
That's why I skipped the regular expression and irregular expression and grep stuff and used explode :-) All it takes is the string and the delimiter and it feeds you back an array. I've been using it to pass parameters in the $QUERY_STRING when I don't use $HTTP_POST_VARS. You can even have strings within it that are delimited by something else. I put everything together with s and then if there's a group of things in there that I want to keep together I use @. It works well. Does this answer your question? I'm still new to PHP (I think I started in Oct. or Nov.) but that's basically all I've been doing since then. That's why I've tried to stick with the methods that make the most sense and cut down on some of my learning curve :-) Good luck! -Natalie -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 6:53 PM To: Leotta, Natalie (NCI/IMS) Cc: 'Kelvin'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] How to insert to DB from txt???

How about LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename.txt' INTO TABLE Table FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' comma delimited for tabs use '\t' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' *nix line terminator, for Dos/Win use '\r\n' IGNORE 1 LINES use if the first line of the file has col. hdrs.

you should maybe try the free dbtools mysql program from http://www.dbtools.com.br this can handle text file imports direct into a mysql db , also it can import or export from excell , access, paradox, foxpro , dbase or odbc data sources, very handy tool if all you ever use it for is the transfer of datatypedatatype..
