/***************************************************************
** Delimeted file to SQL conversion method
**
** Author...: leapinglangoor [ leapinglangoor@yahoo.co.in ]
** Updated..: 19 Apr 2005
** Version..: v 1
**
** Usernotes: To use this script, you must have a table that
**          has as many fields as in the text file which
**          needs to be pass with the arguments (See below)
**
**          Example Text file:
**
**          leapinglangoor    leapinglangoor@gmail.com
**          name        myname@myemail.com
**
**          Now the database table should have two fields one
**          for the name i.e. leapinglangoor or name
**          and another for the email!
**
***************************************************************/

function convert( $delimeter = '\t', $filename, $db['host'], $sb['user'], $db['passwd'], $dv['database'], $db['table'] )
{


   
//
    //Lets get the databse up and working
    //

   
$cid = mysql_connect( $db['host'], $db['user'], $db['pass'] ) or die( 'Cant connect to mysql' );
   
mysql_select_db( $db['database'], $cid ) or die( 'Cant find database' );


   
ini_set('MAX_EXECUTION_TIME', 900); // Nessecary  as the values may be too much for the server

   
$file = file( $filename );

    foreach (
$file as $line)
    {
       
$array = explode($delemeter, $line);
       
$count = count($array);

        for (
$x=0; $x<$count; $x++)
        {

           
$array[$x] = trim( addslashes( str_replace( '|', '', $array[$x] ) ) ); //clean up crew

           
if( ( $x+1 )!= $count )
            {
               
$comma = ',';
            }

           
$values = "'".$array[$x]."'".$comma;

        }

       
$result = mysql_query( insert into ' . $db['table'] . ' values ( ' . $values . ' );', $cid);
    }

}
?>




Examples:

Sample Text file delemeted byt a tab:
text.txt


leapinglangoor                leapinglangoor@yahoo.co.in        leapinglangoor@gmail.com
someone                someone@somewhere.com                someonw@somewhereelse.com

The above lines may appear to be in seperate lines but they form a single line.

In this case the table should have three fields.
sample php file for the above example:

<?php
include( 'convert.php' );
convert( '\t', 'text.txt', 'localhost', 'root', 'passwd', 'database_name', 'the_table_in_the_database' );
?>

In the function declaration, you have typo`s:
function convert( $delimeter = `\t`, $filename,
  $db[`host`],
  $sb[`user`],
  $db[`passwd`],
  $dv[`database`],
  $db[`table`]
) { 
should be:
  $db[`host`],
  $db[`user`],
  $db[`passwd`],
  $db[`database`],
  $db[`table`]

look at variable names 
$db[`host`],     &lt;-ok
$sb[`user`],     &lt;-wrong
$db[`passwd`],   &lt;-ok
$dv[`database`], &lt;-wrong
$db[`table`]     &lt;-ok

should be $db for all, not $sb or $dv
