Maximum size of array for data?

[phplearner]

For those experienced with array processing in PHP, from a practical "real world" standpoint, I would like to know what maximum size limitations I am going to be faced with.

Hopefully, the following won't be a problem.

I need to come up with a way to read in a .csv file with 3 fields and about 1,000 records...do some minor text parsing, and then autoINSERT all of the records into a MySQL table...maybe via a loop?

Since this script may also end up being used by others, do you see any problems in a 'typical' PHP installation (if there is such a thing) handlling this amount of data?

Or, would it be more practial to read in one record at a time, parse it, and INSERT to the DB one-record-at-a-time?

Thank you!

I don't think there is a limit actually, it just takes a bit longer to process (not really that much longer depending on size and such), no for each individual element, I don't think it matters either... same with variables.

Thanks, WinterDragon.

Now to try and figure out how to do it all.

BTW, your signature is cool 🆒
