If you have them in the correct order in your CSV you could import them directly into the MYSQL database.

I am after something like this aswell

I have about 2,000 products coming out of filemaker - is there a way to set this up so I don't have to add tittles above the fields and set the CSV so that A will always be price, B always description C will always be SKU etc - this would be much easeir for me - cheers

Short answer? No.

As far as getting rid of the need to have titles added to the columns in your file, Kim is right: you must have those. It can get rather complicated and dangerous to alter the mod's code to make assumptions about the data it's receiving.

You *might* find some relief from some of the work involved, however, if you are able to configure your FileMaker export to include its column names as a header row when it builds its export. (Most database systems have "include header row?" as part of their export options.) That depends on how much you know about filemaker, how much control you have over the export process, and what the column names are in it. I suspect by the nature of your question that the answers to those dependencies are probably not on the positive side. I'm guessing you might find some FileMaker tips by using your favorite search engine.

I had to reload my Zen Cart and Easy Populate 1.2.5.4. It used to work great before the reload and showed the rows/colums, etc. after I uploaded to the database. Now, it just says something like below. The file gets uploaded to the temp directory (permissions set to 777) but appears not to the database. I know that I have this installed correctly as I have used it before. Also, I am using Excel and saving as a tab delimited CSV file. Version 1.2.5.5. does not work at all. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
