First create the database in your phpmyadmin in localhost of your browser. I have created the database named as "new_database". Then Create table with four columns naming id, firstname, lastname and address.
Now move to wamp\www folder and create folder named "csv_folder" and create the php file inside it. If you are using xamp the project folder will be at htdocs folder in xamp folder.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Welcome</title> </head> <body> <h2>File Upload</h2> <form action="upload_csv.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" > <label for="file">Filename:</label> <input type="file" name="file" id="file" required><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html>Now create upload_csv.php file and paste the code given below:
<?php
// Saving CSV file into database
//if ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "text/csv")
//{
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
$db= mysql_select_db("new_database",$connect);
//Import uploaded file to Database
$handle = fopen("upload/csv_file.csv", "r");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000)) !== FALSE) {
$import="INSERT into csv_testing(firstname,lastname,address)
values('$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]')";
mysql_query($import) or die(mysql_error()); }
fclose($handle);
print "Uploaded to database successfully";
?>
All the datas contained in .csv file are successfully inserted into database. When large amount of data is to be uploaded into the database then it can be implemented.
