Solved - Content of text file into a database - El Forum - 01-07-2009
[eluser]murphy2006[/eluser]
Hello,
I am thinking of reading from a text file and inserting the content of that file into a database. How would I do this? Search for a solution for hours now.
Code:
<?php
$data['module']['displayname'] = "Default";
$data['module']['description'] = 'The default theme';
$data['module']['version'] = "1.0";
$data['module']['author'] = "Author Name";
$data['module']['homepage'] = "http://website.com";
?>Any ideas?

Yes, exactly. I want to read the variables from it.
For example the value of $data['module']['displayname'] goes into displayname in the database.
Thanks!

why not include it and use the array?
Code:
include('path/to/file/file_name.php');
print_r($data['module']);Solved - Content of text file into a database - El Forum - 01-07-2009

Works fine in a view file but how can I use it in a controller?
I get the "Cannot modify header information - headers already sent..."
Thanks again.

don't output the array.

But then I cannot get the data from the file for insertion into the database (in the controller).
How would it look exactly?

murphy2006, no offence but I think you need to go back and learn PHP.
Clue, you loop the $data array.

Code:
include('path/to/file/file_name.php');
$this->db->set($data['module']);
