Step 1:- First, we need to download  PHPExcel Library. Then extract PHPExcel Library inside “application/third_party” folder.

Download  PHPExcel Library

Step 2:- Create database and table or  copy below code and run in mysql for create table



CREATE TABLE `organization` (
  `id` int(10) NOT NULL,
  `org_name` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
  `org_code` int(50) NOT NULL,
  `gst_no` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
  `org_type` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `Address` varchar(40) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;


Step 3:- Now create controller file Import.php and copy below code and paste in import.php file.

<?php 

defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed'); 
 
class Import extends CI_Controller { 

function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->database();
        $this->load->model('import_model', 'import');
    }
     

  public function uploadCsv(){
   
    $this->load->view('upload');
  }
  public function uploadData(){

  if ($this->input->post('submit')) {
           
            $path = 'uploads/';
            require_once APPPATH . "/third_party/PHPExcel.php";
            $config['upload_path'] = $path;
            $config['allowed_types'] = 'xlsx|xls';
            $config['remove_spaces'] = TRUE;
            $this->load->library('upload', $config);
            $this->upload->initialize($config);           
            if (!$this->upload->do_upload('uploadFile')) {
                $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
            } else {
                $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
            }
            if(empty($error)){
              if (!empty($data['upload_data']['file_name'])) {
                $import_xls_file = $data['upload_data']['file_name'];
            } else {
                $import_xls_file = 0;
            }
            $inputFileName = $path . $import_xls_file;
           
            try {
                $inputFileType = PHPExcel_IOFactory::identify($inputFileName);
                $objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType);
                $objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($inputFileName);
                $allDataInSheet = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->toArray(null, true, true, true);
                $flag = true;
                $i=0;
                foreach ($allDataInSheet as $value) {
                  if($flag){
                    $flag =false;
                    continue;
                  }
                  $inserdata[$i]['org_name'] = $value['A'];
                  $inserdata[$i]['org_code'] = $value['B'];
                  $inserdata[$i]['gst_no'] = $value['C'];
                  $inserdata[$i]['org_type'] = $value['D'];
                  $inserdata[$i]['Address'] = $value['E'];
                  $i++;
                }             
                $result = $this->import->importdata($inserdata); 
                if($result){
                  echo "Imported successfully";
                }else{
                  echo "ERROR !";
                }           

          } catch (Exception $e) {
               die('Error loading file "' . pathinfo($inputFileName, PATHINFO_BASENAME)
                        . '": ' .$e->getMessage());
            }
          }else{
              echo $error['error'];
            }
           
           
    }
    $this->load->view('upload');
  }
}
?>

Step 4:- Now create import_model.php inside model folder and copy below code and paste in import_model.php


<?php

if (!defined('BASEPATH'))
    exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Import_model extends CI_Model {

    public function importData($data) {

        $res = $this->db->insert_batch('organization',$data);
        if($res){
            return TRUE;
        }else{
            return FALSE;
        }

    }

}

?>


Step 5:- Now create view file inside view folder and copy below code and paste in upload.php file

<form action="<?php echo base_url();?>form/uploadData" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Upload excel file :
    <input type="file" name="uploadFile" value="" /><br><br>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>
