jacobcunningham Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Is it possible to read from a file that is located on the user's local machine and not on the server? I have a CSV file that is about 70MB that I have to parse through and insert the data into a database. I have no problem doing this if I hard code the path to the file. Is there a way to get the path of the file that the user wants to be parsed into the database? I don't think uploading the file would be a good idea because, like I said, it is 70MB and is nearly 2 million lines. Simply parsing the file takes long enough without throwing in upload time..
