Hi,

I wrote a custom import filter. When I execute it, it works, but displays some warnings

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Filename cannot be empty in /var/www/html/xataface-1.1.5r2/Dataface/ImportForm.php on line 301

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/xataface-1.1.5r2/Dataface/ImportForm.php on line 313

Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in /var/www/html/xataface-1.1.5r2/Dataface/RecordGrid.php on line 99

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/xataface-1.1.5r2/Dataface/RecordGrid.php on line 159

When I try to import a very large set of data (a 2.1 MB file contaning more than 12K CSV entries), it gives me the following warnings:

Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in /var/www/html/xataface-1.1.5r2/Dataface/RecordGrid.php on line 99

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/xataface-1.1.5r2/Dataface/RecordGrid.php on line 159

And it tells me there is only 1 entry to import! Is it possible to import such a large data set?

Are you sure your separators are OK ? comma or semi-colon ?

Yes, my import function is working. Warnings are displayed because I set display_errors to 1. But it doesn’t work for large set of data because it takes too mush memory I guess. I’d need to possibility to import data from the file one line at time, reloading the page many times if needed. Maybe could it be done using AJAX into an iframe…

Can you post what your custom filter code looks like?
