I would like to import a large amount of data into my database on my website by uploading a csv file into the database file, as opposed to inputting each record, one by one.
I have a substantial amount of data in EXCEL, which i exported as .txt file (TAB DELIM).
Now what. I believe i will need:
1. Form page with upload function
2. Process page which takes data from .txt file, and puts into the database file.
*I exported my column names into the .txt file. Which would you recommend: no column names, or column names? My guess is no column names.
