Invalid field count in csv input on line 1

I was trying to import a massive csv dataset into phpMyAdmin and it kept throwing error:Invalid field count in csv input on line 1

This was very annoying as it was all being done the way it always works for me!

To solve this I had to do the following:

  • Import
  • Browse for your csv file.
  • Select CSV using LOAD DATA (rather than just CSV)
  • Change “Fields terminated by” from “;” to “,”
  • Make sure “Use LOCAL keyword” is selected.
  • Click “Go”

Done!
