Hello! I need to open a csv file from "http://www.moneyextra.com/stocks/ftse100/ftse100.csv" and then I need to import the data into a mysql database.
I have a script which I found from the net (which can freely be used by anyone) that reads the file and stores the records into mysql.
It worked yesterday as I saw SOME of the records in the databse table but it wont work anymore. The script confirms that it found and read 106 records but when I check my database nothing is in their!
As the script won't read directly from the web, the file has been stored in a local directory folder.
