Hello,

My client is a small independent book store in Berkeley, California  
called University Press Books (universitypressbooks.com). I'm  
currently working on an ecommerce solution for them that involves  
oscommerce.

UPB already sells their books online through Advanced Book Exchange  
(abebooks.com) and a couple of other sites that provide communal  
services for various independent book stores. UPB exports their  
inventory into a .csv file, massages the data into a form that matches  
the requirements of the various websites, and uploads the data to the  
sites. The software they are using to manage their inventory in-house  
is Visual Anthology, which is capable of exporting their inventory as  
a csv file.

What I need is a PHP script that will easily upload UPBs inventory  
into the MySQL database structure provided by oscommerce. There are  
some plugins available that do this, but they're all pretty clunky and  
none of them do the job very gracefully.

I'm happy to provide more information to anyone who is interested.

Thanks,
Jesse
