Hi All, sure this is simple but I'm still new to php/mySQL so errors are abundant!
I have a simple form with one input: a browse button so the user can find a .csv file on their computer. User then clicks button, upon which I would like the file to be read and the contents put into an array, and the values to be added to the database. I do not need the file to be stored (uploaded).
So far my code is not erroring, it just doesn't add the values to the db. I'm wondering if it's just that I HAVE to upload and save the file to the webserver else I can't read it?
if(isset($_FILES['file_path']['tmp_name'])&& $_FILES['file_path']['tmp_name'] !=''){
$file_to_import = $_FILES['file_path']['tmp_name'];
$import_data = file($file_to_import);
print_r($import_data);
if ($import_data !=''){
for($index = 1; $index < sizeof($import_data); $index++){
$order_data = explode(",",$import_data[$index]);
tep_db_query("UPDATE orders SET act_shipping_cost = '" . $order_data[8]. "' WHERE orders_id = '". $order_data[0]."'");
echo "done it";
}
}else{
echo 'error cant read file!';
}
} else{ ?>
