I wanted to add the fact that I already have my database set up in MySQL with all the appropriate tables. I created a test CSV file and messed around with it a bit but wasn't sure where and how I was supposed to implement it using the code you have given.

Ok, I must be missing something here. Are there more explicit instructions for this? Do I paste this code using phpmyadmin and putting it into the sql box? I'm a little lost here.

the above code is can do it. You need to specify the url of the csv file with / slash and not \ .

@ir:
If the passwords in your CSV file are not already MD5() then just import them as per the instructions above then run this query:

UPDATE `users` SET `password` = MD5(`password`);

@ashish:
That is the "full code". There is no more. The only step you have to do before this is to create a table that matches the CSV file you already have. No one can tell you how to do that without having your CSV file. Don't forget to modify the query above to match the table you have just created.

@zlid:
No it can't. Fields are given names and types at the same time when the table is created. To assign the names automatically, MySQL would have to also assign the column types automatically which would mean scanning down through the entire CSV file to make sure that there were no letters in a column that started with numbers and finding the longest string in a column that started with a string and so on. There are too many options in table creation to allow it to be left up to software. NULL or NOT NULL ? DATE, DATETIME, TIME, CHAR, VARCHAR or TEXT ? What if you have a column full of numbers but one Excel error message that looks like "#value" ?

You will have to create the table yourself before importing the CSV file.

Can MySQL automatically assign the column names using the column headers from the csv file?
