Can somebody pls tell me how to get the filepath using html <input type="file">
in PHP?
Here are my codes:
index.php
<form action="csv_to_database.php" method="get" >
<input type="file" name="csv_file" />
<input type="submit" name="upload" value="Upload" />
</form>
and in csv_to_database.php
<?php
if (isset($_GET['csv_file'])) {
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen($_GET['csv_file'], "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>
";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo $data[$c] . "<br />
";
}
}
fclose($handle);
}
}
?>
My problem is, it only works when the csv data is in the same directory as my php files. I think I need to get the file path but I don't know how to do it.
