Answer 1

i had the same task to do with a lot of CSV files and create one table by CSV, so here is my script that i use in local under XAMP.

';

$mysqli  =  new mysqli(
"localhost",
"root",
"",
"mydatabase",
3306
);

if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

$files = glob('C:\\xampp\\mysql\\data\\mev2\\*.csv');

foreach($files as $file){

    //clean names if needed
    $filename = explode('\\',$file);
    $filename2clean = str_replace('.csv','', $filename[5]);//because my file is under 5 folders on my PC
    $n = strtolower(str_replace('fileprefix_','', filename2clean));

    echo '
Create table '.$n.'
';

    $sql = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydatabase`.`".$n."` (`email` varchar(60), `lastname` varchar(60), `firstname` varchar(60), `country` varchar(19)) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;";

    if (!($stmt = $mysqli->query($sql))) {
        echo "\nQuery execute failed: ERRNO: (" . $mysqli->errno . ") " . $mysqli->error;
    };

    echo '
Import data from '.$n.'
';

    $sql = "LOAD DATA INFILE '".basename($file)."' INTO TABLE `mydatabase`.`".$n."`  
        FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
        LINES TERMINATED BY '\r'  
        IGNORE 1 LINES";

    if (!($stmt = $mysqli->query($sql))) {
        echo "\nQuery execute failed: ERRNO: (" . $mysqli->errno . ") " . $mysqli->error;
    };

}

echo '### Import finished !
';
