CSV data error Can't open file

[petejos]

Hi there,

I am trying to find a solution in the forum for my problem, but can't seem to find it. I created a form www.goec.com.au/goec2/welcomeform.php
csv path is ./public_html/forms/welcomeform/welcomeform.csv. I have send the csv to both 666 and 777 permission, but still getting the error. can someone please shed some light for me? Thanks.

This most likely means that the configured path is incorrect.

If the page is in the same folder as the csv file then the path should be:
"welcomeform.csv"

[petejos]

No, the page is different folder from the CSV. The page is in public_html/goec2.

Hi Pablo,

Is there a guide on how to set the form using CSV? Should I use HTML or rich text for the respond field? Or it doesn't matter?

You do not "normally" need to specify the public_html portion of the path. It is implied.

Try setting the path to the csv file to be /forms/welcomeform/welcomeform.csv instead.

You will need to set the path of the csv relative to the page with the form.
It is not common to include 'public_html'.

Thanks.
1. This is where my csv form location. Is this correct?
./forms/welcomeform/welcomeform.csv

2. Where should I put the my page with the form?

[Pablo]

You can place the CSV file anywhere you want.
What is important is that you use the correct path

If the form is in the same folder as the CSV file then the path should be
./welcomeform.csv

If the csv file is in a sub folder then the path is
./subfolder/welcomeform.csv

The path is relative to the current folder (where the page is).
