Thread: How can I read CSV file?

I'm working on a browse/upload service which allows me to upload "CSV" file. Currently, I'm only able to upload "txt", "html" files but not "CSV" or any WORD related extensions. How do I do that?

Image - I have no problem uploading text file. It appears below.

Another problem is I can only upload files which are in the same folder as where I put all the javascripts/html/codes. How do I make sure that I can upload files from other folders as well?

Just for your info, I'm using

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100" />
<input name="file" type="file" id="browsefile" /><input type="button" value="Upload" onclick="javascript:uploadfile ()">

Thanks

Not positive... but I think you need to set up an Apache handler to treat CSV, DOC, EXL, etc. files as text. Its sort of like the way windows handles these extensions with associations to applications.

From cpanel:

Apache Handlers

Apache handlers allow you to control what Apache will do with certain file types. When Apache sees a file, it has an action built in for that file type, and will perform that action. If you wish Apache to do a different action, you will need to make a handler to tell Apache to perform that action. For example, if you use a file type that requires a special service to run it, such as a file with server side includes that is not named with a .shtml extension, you need to tell Apache to treat these files differently.
