Examples

Example #1 Object oriented style

 <?php
  $db = mysqli_init();
  $db->real_connect("localhost","root","","test");

  function callme($stream, &$buffer, $buflen, &$errmsg)
  {
    $buffer = fgets($stream);

    echo $buffer;

    // convert to upper case and replace "," delimiter with [TAB]
    $buffer = strtoupper(str_replace(",", "\t", $buffer));

    return strlen($buffer);
  }


  echo "Input:\n";

  $db->set_local_infile_handler("callme");
  $db->query("LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'input.txt' INTO TABLE t1");
  $db->set_local_infile_default();

  $res = $db->query("SELECT * FROM t1");

  echo "\nResult:\n";
  while ($row = $res->fetch_assoc()) {
    echo join(",", $row)."\n";
  }
?>

Example #2 Procedural style

 <?php
  $db = mysqli_init();
  mysqli_real_connect($db, "localhost","root","","test");

  function callme($stream, &$buffer, $buflen, &$errmsg)

    $buffer = fgets($stream);

    echo $buffer;

    // convert to upper case and replace "," delimiter with [TAB]
    $buffer = strtoupper(str_replace(",", "\t", $buffer));

    return strlen($buffer);
  }


  echo "Input:\n";

  mysqli_set_local_infile_handler($db, "callme");
  mysqli_query($db, "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'input.txt' INTO TABLE t1");
  mysqli_set_local_infile_default($db);

  $res = mysqli_query($db, "SELECT * FROM t1");


  echo "\nResult:\n";
  while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($res)) {
    echo join(",", $row)."\n";
  }
?>
