title: Checking registrations against a CSV file
body: <p>I am new to MySQL and PHP(as you can probably tell) and I was wondering if anybody knew an easy way to import a CSV file into a MySQL table.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"There are any number of ways to input
    csv into mysql depending in what kind
    of access you have, if you can use the
    mysql client directly there is a
    command to load delimited data,
    something like that could basically be
    entered directly in cron and keep
    itself up to date. Otherwise there are
    various php scripts to do that sort of
    thing."</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>That is something a friend told me to do, is that the easiest/best way to do it? If it is would someone mind explaining it to me?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you </p>
