Importing CSV into DB

Ok, so I have spent a lot of time here today trying to get the update right. The issue that I am having is that the following code just grabs one value from the CSV file:

php Code:

Original - php Code
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) { $num = count($data); $row++; for ($counter=$columnheadings; $counter < $num; $counter++) { echo $data[$counter] . "<br />n"; $insertrecord = "Insert Into `$tablename` Values ($data[$counter])"; mysql_query($insertrecord);

 
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {  
           $num = count($data);
           $row++;
           for ($counter=$columnheadings; $counter < $num; $counter++) {
               
               echo $data[$counter] . "<br />n";
               $insertrecord = "Insert Into `$tablename` Values ($data[$counter])"; 
           mysql_query($insertrecord);

So I changed things around to format a SQL statement that will run. The problem is that I cannot get the string replace function to remove the last comma. I know the fix is probably simple, but I guess I am tired and out of ideas. Or maybe there is a better way to do this. In any case, I appreciate the help. Here's the current code:

php Code:

Original - php Code
$handle = fopen("test.csv", "r"); while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) { $num = count($data); echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>n"; $insertrecord = "Insert Into `$tablename` Values ("; $row++; for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) { $insertrecord .= "'$data[$c]',"; } $insertrecord .= ")"; echo $insertrecord; str_replace(",)", ")", $insertrecord);

 
$handle = fopen("test.csv", "r");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
   $num = count($data);
   echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>n";
   $insertrecord = "Insert Into `$tablename` Values (";
   $row++;
   for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
       $insertrecord .= "'$data[$c]',"; 
   }
   $insertrecord .= ")";
   echo $insertrecord;
   str_replace(",)", ")", $insertrecord);

RE: Importing CSV into DB

By the way, this is the formatted SQL:
Insert Into `playground` Values ('1-FGFK5','SPR46',)
