MySql php import function

[system]

Hello everyone,

Im running a real estate website and i have come across a slight problem. I have a script for importing new listings into the database, i have increased the max_time and memory up to 256M in php.ini and everything is working fine. BUT on 200 listings it takes quite sometime to write it in and it looks like internet explorer has frozen while its doing it. Is there anyway to make this a bit less painless, and maybe even give the ability to easily import 1000s of listings in one go? Also a progress bar would be ideal

Regards,

Tim

the fastest way I would guess would be to do it straight from phpmyadmin, 200 listings is not all that much data, I would not assume, maybe the importing script that you have obtained has some poor coding in it which is running weird loops.
without seeing examples of what is being imported and the script that is doing the importing, there is not much of an answer that anyone can give you.
Next thing you need to do is get rid of internet explorer and gt firefox ;D, internet explorer is just plain no good, from a users aspect and from a programmers aspect!!!
