# I run this script from a cron job every night to update
# the mysql database I use with my employee web site
# so it matches my local database every day. Feel free to
# modify it to meet your specific needs. If you find it
# usefull, drop me an email and let me know.
# edit the follow six items to use the script
# first connect to your mysql database
# i have my connection settings in a diferent file
# so i just include that file in all my scripts
include("db.php");
# assign the tables that you want to import to to the table array
$table = array(
'table1',
'table2',
'table3',
'table4',
'table5',
);
# if the first row of your csv file contains column headings:
# $columnheadings=1
# if the first row does not contain column headings and should be imported:
# $columnheadings=0
$columnheadings = 0;
# contains the email address you want the results sent to
$emailaddress = "user@domain.com";
# contains the subject you want the message to have
$subject = "Enter Subject Here";
# contains the email address that will show in the from line
$emailfrom = "user@domain.com";
# you should not have to edit anything below this line
# perform the required operations for every table listed in the table array
foreach ($table as $tablename) {
# empty the table of its current records
$deleterecords = "TRUNCATE TABLE `$tablename`";
mysql_query($deleterecords);
# intialize your counters for successful and failed record imports
$pass = 0;
$fail = 0;
# the csv file needs to be the same name as the table,
# comma seperated with the columns in the same order as the table,
# and in the same dir as this script
$filecontents = file ("$tablename.csv"); # .csv is added to the table name to get the name of the csv file
# every record in the csv file will be inserted into the table unless an error occurs with that record
for($i=$columnheadings; $i
$insertrecord = "Insert Into `$tablename` Values ($filecontents[$i])";
mysql_query($insertrecord);
if(mysql_error()) {
$fail += 1; # increments if there was an error importing the record
}
else
{
$pass += 1; # increments if the record was successfully imported
}
}
# adds a line to the email message we will send stating how many records were imported
# and how many records failed for each table
$message .= "Table $tablename: Success=$pass Failure=$fail \n";
}
# set to the date and time the script was run
$runtime = (date("d M Y H:i"));
# add the run time to the body of the email message
$message .= "\nTime of the message: $runtime (server time zone)\n\n";
# Send the email message
