<!-- MongoDB has a command named mongoimport which can be used to directly upload a CSV file into a particular collection of | |
a database with the first line of the csv as the keys and the following rest of the csv as the values for the respective keys | |
The format of mongoimport is as folllows | |
"mongoimport --db database_name --collection collection_name --file csv_file_name --type csv" | |
now we can use variables to store our database and collection's name. | |
we upload the file to get the filename and it's path and then simple substitute the database_name and collection_name etc | |
with our variables and run the command through shell via php by using the exec function of php--> | |
<?php | |
//Your Database Connection include file here. | |
//This Entire PHP part can be placed in a seperate action file | |
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) | |
{ | |
//Upload Directory path. | |
$uploaddir = 'uploads/'; | |
//FilePath with File name. | |
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]); | |
//Check if uploaded file is CSV and not any other format. | |
if (($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "text/csv")){ | |
//Move uploaded file to our Uploads folder. | |
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $uploadfile)) | |
{ | |
//Import uploaded file to Database. $collection is defined in the connection file or can be defined here too | |
$command = "mongoimport --db joins --collection " . $collection . " --file " . $uploadfile ." --type csv --headerline" ; | |
shell_exec($command); | |
} | |
} | |
else{ | |
echo "Please Upload a CSV file Only!"; | |
} | |
} | |
?> | |
<!--Simple Form(no css) to Upload the File--> | |
<html> | |
<head> | |
<form action='#' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'> | |
Choose file to import:<br><br> | |
<input type='file' name='file' id='file'><br><br> | |
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='extract'></form> | |
