Lets write a simple php program to import data from CSV files or read CSV file using PHP. The following program will read the csv file and display output in HTML table format. Once you get the data you can either display it in HTML format or save in your MySql database.

PHP Code

<?php
include( 'FileReader.php' );
include( 'CSVReader.php' );

$reader =& new CSVReader( new FileReader( 'countrylist.csv' ) );
// set the separator as comma
$reader->setSeparator( ',' );
$line = 0; // line tracking

// output
echo '<table cellpadding=2 cellspacing=1 bgcolor="#cdcdcd" border=0>';
while( false != ( $cell = $reader->next() ) ) {
if ( $line == 0 ) {
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td style='font: 12px Arial; font-weight: bold' nowrap> # </td>\n";
for ( $i = 0; $i < count( $cell ); $i++ ){
echo "<td nowrap style='font: 12px Arial; font-weight: bold'> Cell {$i}</td>\n";
}
echo "</tr>\n"; 
}
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td bgcolor='".( ( $line % 2 ) == 0 ? '#efefef' : '#ffffff' )."' 
style='font: 12px Arial;'>{$line}</td>\n";
for ( $i = 0; $i < count( $cell ); $i++ )
{
echo "<td bgcolor='".( ( $line % 2 ) ==0 ? '#efefef' : '#ffffff' )."' 
style='font: 12px Arial;'>{$cell[$i]}</td>\n";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
$line++;
}
echo '<table>';
