On the web, we have seen lots of articles or tutorial on How to import CSV file data into Mysql Database by using PHP script. But there are none of the tutorials has define how can we define particular CSV file column data at the time of importing file, and that selected column data has been imported into Mysql table by using PHP script with Ajax jQuery. For solve the problem of CSV file Column Mapping here we have make this tutorial in which we have step by step describe the process of CSV file column mapping in PHP using Ajax jQuery.
This tutorial has divided in following different part.
- Make Upload Form for Select CSV File
- Convert CSV File into HTML Table
- Write jQuery Code for Column Selection
- Import Select Column Data
Before we have going to step, first we must have to see our database structure. So below you can find this tutorial Mysql table definition.
--
-- Database: `testing`
--
-- --------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Table structure for table `csv_file`
--
CREATE TABLE `csv_file` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`first_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`last_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(255) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
--
-- Indexes for table `csv_file`
--
ALTER TABLE `csv_file`
ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`);
--
-- AUTO_INCREMENT for dumped tables
--
--
-- AUTO_INCREMENT for table `csv_file`
--
ALTER TABLE `csv_file`
MODIFY `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, AUTO_INCREMENT=1;
COMMIT;
Here in this Mysql table there is only three column in which we want to import CSV file data. Now below we have to CSV file structure.

So, Above we can see that there is 10 column in CSV file. Now we have to make feature like when we have upload CSV file file then we can define three column and only three column data must be import into above Mysql table. So below you can find the solution of CSV file column mapping in PHP script using Ajax jQuery.
1 - Make Upload Form for Select CSV File
For make CSV file column mapping script. So first we have to make One upload form for select CSV file from our local computer. After creating HTML form for upload csv file. Then after we have to write jquery code and in that code we have make Ajax call which will send CSV file to server script. Below you can find the source code of this steps.

<br /><br /><br />
<div class="col-md-12" align="center">

</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="table-responsive" id="process_area">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#upload_form').on('submit', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url:"upload.php",
method:"POST",
data:new FormData(this),
dataType:'json',
contentType:false,
cache:false,
processData:false,
success:function(data)
{
if(data.error != '')
{
$('#message').html('<div class="alert alert-danger">'+data.error+'</div>');
}
else
{
$('#process_area').html(data.output);
$('#upload_area').css('display', 'none');
}
}
});
});
});
</script>
2 - Convert CSV File into HTML Table
In second steps, First we have to check user has select file or not. If User has select file then we have to check selected file is .csv file or not if selected file is CSV file then we have to fetch data from CSV file. From this first line of csv file, we have to count total number of column of CSV file and based on that column we have to make select box for column selection for all column in html table format. After this all csv file data has been store in SESSION variable for future use of import data and top five row of CSV file has been convert into HTML table. After this we have to make import button and append that button code in HTML table code and send whole data to Ajax request in json string format.
upload.php
<?php
//upload.php
session_start();
$error = '';
$html = '';
if($_FILES['file']['name'] != '')
{
$file_array = explode(".", $_FILES['file']['name']);
$extension = end($file_array);
if($extension == 'csv')
{
$file_data = fopen($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], 'r');
$file_header = fgetcsv($file_data);
$html .= '<table class="table table-bordered"><tr>';
for($count = 0; $count < count($file_header); $count++)
{
$html .= '
<th>
<select name="set_column_data" class="form-control set_column_data" data-column_number="'.$count.'">
<option value="">Set Count Data</option>
<option value="first_name">First Name</option>
<option value="last_name">Last Name</option>
<option value="email">Email</option>
</select>
</th>
';
}
$html .= '</tr>';
$limit = 0;
while(($row = fgetcsv($file_data)) !== FALSE)
{
$limit++;
if($limit < 6)
{
$html .= '<tr>';
for($count = 0; $count < count($row); $count++)
{
$html .= '<td>'.$row[$count].'</td>';
}
$html .= '</tr>';
}
$temp_data[] = $row;
}
$_SESSION['file_data'] = $temp_data;
$html .= '
</table>
<br />
<div align="right">
<button type="button" name="import" id="import" class="btn btn-success" disabled>Import</button>
</div>
<br />
';
}
else
{
$error = 'Only <b>.csv</b> file allowed';
}
}
else
{
$error = 'Please Select CSV File';
}
$output = array(
'error' => $error,
'output' => $html
);
echo json_encode($output);
?>
3 - Write jQuery Code for Column Selection
Once selected CSV file data has been uploaded and after this convert that file data into html table format and display on web page. Now in third step we have to write jquery code for validate column selection or mapping. So, we have to write jquery script, firts it will check user must have to select at least three column this is because in database there is three column in which we want to import data. If user select less than or greater than three column then import button will be disabled, but if user select three different column then import button will enable. jQuery will also check user must define define unique column as per Mysql table, if user select two column from html table with same Mysql table then also import button will disable. All unique column select box option we have to store in variable, and this variable value we will be used for define column number at the time of importing of data. So this validation will check in this part of jQuery script.

}
});
});
</script>
4 - Import Select Column Data
This is last part of CSV file column mapping tutorial and in this part we have to import selected CSV file column data into Mysql table. In third part, we have write jQuery script and define three column with unique option. Now in this part, we have to write jQuery script in which we have to make Ajax call which will send local variable in which we have store column number which has been get in third part. Based on this variable column number at PHP script will import only that column data into Mysql table. At PHP script CSV file data will be get from SESSION variable in which we have store CSV file data in second steps.

So, In this tutorial, we have step by step sees how can we map CSV file column or define CSV file column and then after we have import or insert that define or selected column data into Mysql table by using PHP with Ajax jQuery. IF you have find any simple way for map csv file column in PHP then you are welcome and Let us know in the comments section.
great job
ReplyDeleteplease always put a download link also at the end
ReplyDeleteHow i use "Do Not Import" function?
ReplyDeletecould that work with excel importing or only with CSV ?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this tutorial however there is an error in the code. After mapping a column and then changing it to a different one, still keeps the previous mapped reference. As a result, your app does not allow another field to be mapped to it.
ReplyDeletehere's updated code for handling selected values
ReplyDeletevar total_selection = 0;
var id_produit = 0;
var nom_produit = 0;
var prix_produit = 0;
var operation = 0;
var column_data = [];
$(document).on('change', '.set_column_data', function() {
const column_name = $(this).val();
const column_number = $(this).data('column_number');
const otherSelects = $(`.set_column_data[data-column_number]:not([data-column_number="${column_number}"])`);
otherSelects.each(function() {
if ($(this).val() === column_name && column_name !== "") {
alert('This value is already selected in another column.');
$(this).val('');
}
});
if (column_name !== '') {
column_data[column_name] = column_number;
} else {
const entries = Object.entries(column_data);
for (const [key, value] of entries) {
if (value == column_number) {
delete column_data[key];
}
}
}
total_selection = Object.keys(column_data).length;
if (total_selection === 4) {
$('#import').attr('disabled', false);
id_produit = column_data.id_produit;
nom_produit = column_data.nom_produit;
prix_produit = column_data.prix_produit;
operation = column_data.operation;
} else {
