Answer 1

First change the default_controller value in route.php which lies inside config folder.

$route['default_controller'] = "csv";

Create a controller as csv.php

load->model('csv_model');
    }
    function index()
    {
        $this->load->view('uploadCsvView',$data);
    }
    function uploadData()
    {
        $this->csv_model->uploadData();
        redirect('csv');
    }
}
?>

And create a model as csv_model.php

 $insert_csv['id'] ,
                'empName' => $insert_csv['empName'],
                'empAddress' => $insert_csv['empAddress']
               );
            $data['crane_features']=$this->db->insert('tableName', $data);
        }
        fclose($fp) or die("can't close file");
        $data['success']="success";
        return $data;
    }
}

And at last create a view as uploadCsvView.php

 
    

        

            
 Choose your file: 
            

                
            
            

                

                    Save
                
            
        
    
 

And create mysql table where data is going to be inserted:

CREATE TABLE tableName(
    id INT,
    empName VARCHAR( 100 ) ,
    empAddress VARCHAR( 100 ),
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

And most important point:

MySql and Csv file should both be same
