Ave,
I¹ve written a code that is able to extract the Column names and Records
from a simple dbf (foxpro) file and create an INSERT INTO sql statement
which can be used to insert all those records with their corresponding field
names in an existing mySQL table. (A CREATE TABLE code I wrote is able to
create the table from the dbf file information).
Following is the code I wrote for creating the INSERT INTO sql:
<?php
$db_path = "$DATABASEFILE";
$dbh = dbase_open($db_path, 0) or die("Error! Could not open
dbase database file '$db_path'.");
if ($dbh) {
#Get the Information
$column_info = dbase_get_header_info($dbh);
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($dbh);
#Run the loop for all the records in the Table
for ($i = 1; $i <= $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($dbh, $i);
echo "INSERT INTO ".substr($DATABASEFILE_name,0,-4)." (";
#Run the loop for all the fields in the Table
foreach ($column_info as $v1) { echo "$v1[name],"; }
echo ") VALUES (";
#Run the loop for all the values corresponding to fields in the
Table
foreach ($column_info as $v1) { echo
"'".trim($row[$v1[name]])."',"; }
echo "'); <br>";
}
}
dbase_close($dbh);
?>
It works fine, except for one problem. It¹s able to create the INSERT INTO
sql statement, with all the fields and corresponding values, but as I¹m
running a loop for both the fields names, and the values corresponding to
fields names, it leaves a comma after the records are over.
So instead of having this : INSERT INTO tblname (c1,c2,c3) VALUES
(Œv1¹,¹v2¹,¹v3¹);
I achieve this : INSERT INTO tblname (c1,c2,c3,) VALUES (Œv1¹,¹v2¹,¹v3¹,¹);
Notice an additional Comma after column names, and an additional ,¹ after
the values. I¹m not quite sure what to do to get rid of those. I¹ve tried
some different combinations using different kind of logic with the echo
statements, but it¹s not working out. Would love some help.
