This is a PHP script designed to run on your webserver and import Cumulus log files into a MySQL database on your server.
:servername, username, password, database and security key
:these are documented in the file at the top.
:There is a sixth entry which may require editing. Look at the text file you are importing. How is each field separated/delimited? In the UK this is a comma so there is nothing else needs changed. If for example your delimiter is a semi-colon then change the line $delimiter accordingly
*save the file as ImportCumulusFile.<b>php</b> or whatever name you prefer and upload it to your webserver.
 
 
Using the above script, in combination with the [[Toolbox]] you could set an automated FTP rule to upload the dayfile.txt from Cumulus each day at 00:15 and then run an HTTP remote command (this script) to import it into the SQL database
