Just a quick tip that might help out some other developer out there. I am using PHP’s fgetcsv function to import comma-separated data that has been exported from an Excel spreadsheet.
It was giving me fits though – skipping over null values and throwing everything out of wack. If you are having this problem, there is a good chance you are using a Mac (like I am) and just saving as a “Comma Separated Values (.csv)” file. While this seems logical. BUZZZZZZZ! I guess it is wrong. You have to save as “Windows Comma Separated (.csv)” file. This solves everything.

Hi, it’s me… peddling my wares again. I just launched a website for In-a-Flash Uploader – a free, customizable Flash-based application that when embedded in a web page allows users to upload files and view the upload progress.
It is super simple to setup and there are sample PHP scripts to handle the files once they are uploaded. The uploader also has some advanced features such as multiple file uploads and the option to add a callback function (to integrate with javascript).
Check it out. It sure beats the standard file upload functionality I’ve seen all over the web.
