Nice script, pity I found this 2 days after writing my own , instead of doing an INSERT, you could use the "load data infile" command, makes life a tad bit simpler

Can I use that code to CHANGE a csv file, and then reupload it back to the server…?

Cool – I'll have to try that too – see if it works. I have to say though – I'm still impressed that PHP has FTP functions built right in. Here I thought that it was either going to be an impossible task – or that I'd be spending hours coding…

For recursive up/downloading and in general nice handling of PHP's ftp support, check out PEAR Net_FTP

Instead of copying the file locally, why not just open it an process it using fopen? Instead of:

$handle = fopen ("$CSVFile","r");

use this (using vars from original code above)
