I am trying to import a CSV into MYSQL database. I followed a tutorial here
Now i am getting an error that
The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed.
Below is my code for Controller :
function importcsv() {
$data['addressbook'] = $this->csv_model->get_addressbook();
$data['error'] = ''; //initialize image upload error array to empty
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'text/x-comma-separated-values'|'text/comma-separated-values'|'application/octet-stream'| 'application/vnd.ms-excel'|'application/x-csv'|'text/x-csv'|'text/csv'|'application/csv'|'application/excel'|'application/vnd.msexcel'|'text/plain';
$config['max_size'] = '1000';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
// If upload failed, display error
if (!$this->upload->do_upload()) {
$data['error'] = $this->upload->display_errors();
$this->load->view('csvindex', $data);
} else {
$file_data = $this->upload->data();
$file_path = './uploads/'.$file_data['file_name'];
if ($this->csvimport->get_array($file_path)) {
$csv_array = $this->csvimport->get_array($file_path);
foreach ($csv_array as $row) {
$insert_data = array(
'firstname'=>$row['firstname'],
'lastname'=>$row['lastname'],
'phone'=>$row['phone'],
'email'=>$row['email'],
);
$this->csv_model->insert_csv($insert_data);
}
$this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'Csv Data Imported Succesfully');
redirect(base_url().'csv');
//echo "<pre>"; print_r($insert_data);
} else
$data['error'] = "Error occured";
$this->load->view('csvindex', $data);
}
}
public function chk_attachment() // callback validation for check the attachment extension
{
$file_type = array('.csv');
if(!empty($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']))
{
$ext = strtolower(strrchr($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name'],"."));
if(in_array($ext,$ext_array))
{
return true;
}
else
{
$this->form_validation->set_message('chk_attachment','Attachment allowed only csv');
return false;
}
}
{
$this->form_validation->set_message('chk_attachment','image field is required');
return false;
}
}
The call back function was suggested by a user on stackoverflow who had same issue solved, but somehow didn't work for me. I have a users table and i just want to insert users using the uploaded CSV but somehow its not allowing me to upload a CSV.
