You can either put a flag indicating your first time around the field loop and add the comma before each field, when it is not the first time around, or build the fieldname and fieldvalue list on a string and then trim out the last character once the loop is finished.
"Rahul S. Johari" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ave, Iıve written a code that is able to extract the Column names and Records from a simple dbf (foxpro) file and create an INSERT INTO sql statement which can be used to insert all those records with their corresponding field names in an existing mySQL table. (A CREATE TABLE code I wrote is able to create the table from the dbf file information). Following is the code I wrote for creating the INSERT INTO sql: <?php $db_path = "$DATABASEFILE"; $dbh = dbase_open($db_path, 0) or die("Error! Could not open dbase database file '$db_path'."); if ($dbh) { #Get the Information $column_info = dbase_get_header_info($dbh); $record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($dbh); #Run the loop for all the records in the Table for ($i = 1; $i <= $record_numbers; $i++) { $row = dbase_get_record_with_names($dbh, $i); echo "INSERT INTO ".substr($DATABASEFILE_name,0,-4)." ("; #Run the loop for all the fields in the Table foreach ($column_info as $v1) { echo "$v1[name],"; } echo ") VALUES ("; #Run the loop for all the values corresponding to fields in the Table foreach ($column_info as $v1) { echo "'".trim($row[$v1[name]])."',"; } echo "'); <br>"; } } dbase_close($dbh); ?> It works fine, except for one problem. Itıs able to create the INSERT INTO sql statement, with all the fields and corresponding values, but as Iım running a loop for both the fields names, and the values corresponding to fields names, it leaves a comma after the records are over. So instead of having this : INSERT INTO tblname (c1,c2,c3) VALUES (Ov1ı,ıv2ı,ıv3ı); I achieve this : INSERT INTO tblname (c1,c2,c3,) VALUES (Ov1ı,ıv2ı,ıv3ı,ı); Notice an additional Comma after column names, and an additional ,ı after the values. Iım not quite sure what to do to get rid of those. Iıve tried some different combinations using different kind of logic with the echo statements, but itıs not working out. Would love some help.
