You will need to do something like:

$filename = "file_name_on_server.csv"
$fp = fopen( $filename ,"r");
while ($line = fgets ($fp))
{

now use Split to get an array of the comma delimited values

    $arr = split (",", $line);

Now you have an array for the comma delimited values on $line. You can do simple string formatting to stick those values into an SQL query.

    $query = "INSERT INTO `TableBlah` (Field1, Field2) VALUES (" . $arr[0] . "," . $arr[1] . ")";

Use the mysql api to send those queries to the database

}
fclose($fp);
