I need to develop a system that will take data from a CSV file and put it into a database. The objective is to list vehicles in an ecommerce style from the CSV files. The CSV files hold data such as vehicle registration, vehicle color and body type. I thought of simply using FOpen and displaying the data however this would apparently be performance heavy. Once the CSV file has changed I need the database to update which I could probably do with a Cron Job. Any tips on this? I'd like to track the amount of sales my customers are making also. Would the process be different as I am using Wordpress? DO I need to work within Wordpress to display the data or can it be in separate PHP files? Thanks
