    <p>I have a script written by a friend that gets all the contents from a directory of .txt files and uploads them into a database alongside some other information. </p> <p>aka: filename | Contents</p> <p>Each file's contents - simple text info - is stored in a corresponding database entry. It's been working very well so far, <strong>but the contents of a new bunch of text files simply aren't being read.</strong> The filenames are read fine and that info is imported into the database easily. It's just the actual contents. Old .txt files that I've imported previously still are imported perfectly.</p> <p>Examples of files are here: <a href="http://pintail.eu/php/working.txt" rel="nofollow">Working</a> / <a href="http://pintail.eu/php/notworking.txt" rel="nofollow">Not-Working</a></p> <p><strong>Long story short</strong> - does anyone know why the contents of some .txt files can be read and not others? Encoding issues possibly, etc? (though they're from the same person and look identical) I'm losing my mind. </p> <p>Thanks!</p> <pre><code>$dir = 'text'; //createxml(10);exit; $time_start = microtime(true); $files = scandir($dir); natsort($files); foreach ($files as $v) { if ($v != "." &amp;&amp; $v != ".." &amp;&amp; $v != "thumbs" &amp;&amp; $v != ".DS_Store") { //get work done $text = file_get_contents($dir.'/'.$v); //get volume, page, county $ta = explode('.',$v); $ma = explode('_',$ta[0]); $last = count($ma)-1; $volume = ''; $year = '1999'; for ($i = 0; $i &lt; $last; ++$i) { $volume .= $ma[$i].'_'; } $volume = $mysqli-&gt;real_escape_string(rtrim($volume,'_')); $pagenr = $mysqli-&gt;real_escape_string($ma[$last]); $ntext = $mysqli-&gt;real_escape_string(getmtext($text)); $pdf = 'http://griffiths.****.ie/gv4/thoms/'.$volume.'/'.$volume.'_pg'.str_pad($pagenr, 4, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT).'.pdf'; $thumb = 'http://griffiths.****.ie/gv4/thoms/'.$volume.'/thumbs2/'.$volume.'_'.str_pad($pagenr, 4, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT).'.jpg'; //create sql $echo[$volume] .= "('','$year','$pagenr','$volume','$ntext','$pdf','$thumb'),"; $excl[$volume]=true; } } // check if there is volume already in DB foreach ($excl as $k =&gt; $v) { $volumes .= "'$k',"; } $volumes = rtrim($volumes,','); $excls =''; if ($result = $mysqli-&gt;query("SELECT DISTINCT volume FROM thoms_copy2 WHERE volume in ($volumes)")) { //found volumes already in DB while ($r = $result-&gt;fetch_array(MYSQLI_NUM)) //we only need the new volumes, so we will ignore the rest unset($echo[$r[0]]); $result-&gt;close(); } //create mysql string foreach ($echo as $k =&gt; $v) { $echot .= $v.','; } $echot = rtrim($echot,','); if ($echot) {// if i have something to insert //insert into DB $sql = "INSERT INTO `thoms_copy2` (`id`,`year`,`main_page`, `volume`, `texty`, `pdf`, `thumb`) VALUES $echot"; if ($result = $mysqli-&gt;query($sql)) { echo "Done."; //create the XML file createxml($mysqli-&gt;affected_rows); } else { printf("Error message: %s\n", $mysqli-&gt;error); echo "&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;$sql"; } } else { echo "Done.

    1. COThe code of the php script would be helpful to answer. The section from where it reads the contents of the file through where it inserts/updates that data to the database.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
