importing with phpmyadmin

[tiki16]

Hello all,
I am trying to import a .csv file (converted from excel) into a database with phpmyadmin. My error is #1064 at line 1.
I looked up the error and this is what it is:
Error: 1064 SQLSTATE: 42000 (ER_PARSE_ERROR)

Anybody know what this means?
Any help appreciated.
Steve

Not sure exactly what is causing your problem here. A search [google.com] may bring up more clues.

It could also be due to the version of mysql being used; not quited sure on this one, though.

What does the first line of your file look like?

Try to export any data with phpMyAdmin and then compare the both CSVs - you may spot the problem on your own

Merry Xmas and Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Seems like there is a latent problem with that function
To be honest I tried it a few times and always ended with an error (CSV or XL).
I bought for just very few $ a nice little tool that does very well the job.

Hi Henry0, what was the name of the program? I saw one but can't remeber the name.
Thanx

I exported a table and tried to import it back into the table and i get an error:Invalid field count in CSV input on line 1.
I used the output data to recreate the data i want to impoirt into my DB and i get the same error. I exportred the csv wth the field names included and excluded and both times get the same error stated above.
thanx
Steve
