Hi, newbie here, go easy on me I'm learning this as I go ;) Got a bit of teaser here. //<?php mysql_connect (localhost, foouser, foologin); mysql_select_db (footest1); $csvfile = file("http://foo.com/foolist.csv"); foreach($csvfile as $line_no => $datastring) { $data = explode (",", $datastring); $foo1 = $data[0]; $foo2 = $data[1]; $foo3 = $data[2]; $foo4 = $data[3]; $foo5 = $data[4]; $foo6 = $data[5]; $foo7 = $data[6]; mysql_query ("INSERT INTO 'footable' (foo1, foo2, foo3, foo4, foo5, foo6, foo7) VALUES '$foo1', '$foo2', '$foo3', '$foo4', '$foo5', '$foo6', '$foo7')"); } //?> The result of the above is I get nothing INSERT-ed in 'footable'. No lines of data at all. I looked in the table using phpMyAdmin and zilch. I have however dumped the contents of each variable in the 'foreach' loop to the screen in a table and it all maps out correctly as i was in the CSV file, so the CSV file is being parsed correctly. The fault seems to be in the MySQL query I think. Privilages have no influence - I've tried both the database's 'regular' users and also the 'root' user and it makes no odds. I've also tried dumping the list of single variables and using '($data[0], $data[1] etc...) and that has no effect. It's probably something glaringly obvious to an expert but as I say I'm learning as I go so any help would be great :) Thx. -- Mark Benson http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
