    Dana Burns - 2004-12-06

    I think I would like to add a batch import of a data file in the same format as the exported csv file. I've looked over the code and it doesn't seem TOO difficult, export for the merging records question.

    So I use phpwebsite for my swim teams' site, and we have a registration process that involves paper right now. I've begun using phpwscontacts on the site, and can imagine doing registration with an offline version of phpwebsite running on xampp (may not be done near internet access), exporting csv and later importing (and merging it) with the online site.

    Is this crazy? Is this a desirable addition in the general case? If I actually do this, I'll post code snippets here.

    More obscure, I would also like to make something that would add usernames specified to the website, doing the simple, plain text password thing as that is okay in this controlled situation. But that would be a second hack.

      I meant to say "except" for merging records.
      I also think it might be better to use openoffice with some sort of form that drives data into csv form. Regardless, the batch import feature would be used.
