If you are in a Linux OS you can use a cron job (/etc/crontab) to run a php script or something similar. In Windows you will have to create a scheduled task and run a batch script or something similar.

Excellent post. Very quick and readily launchable from PHP, unlike direct dump or messy scripts. Quite helpful.

Excellent, for phpadmin users in Windows, remember to comment out the back slashes and use relative path and it works perfectly. Here is mine

load data local infile 'C:\\xampp\\mysql\\data\\eweek\\alfa.csv' into table alabama
fields terminated by ','
lines terminated by '\n'
(abcear,abcde,abcde,xyz,123xyzl, abcdef);

I went to the directory where I placed the csv files, placed the above code into its own file "create.sql" and then launched mysql client ie "mysql -u root -p". Next I made sure I selected the db ie "use someDB;" then issued the command "\. create.sql" and the data got there. Works well.
