What are common issues encountered while importing CSV data into a MySQL database using PHP?

One common issue encountered while importing CSV data into a MySQL database using PHP is handling special characters or encoding mismatches. To solve this issue, you can set the character set and collation for the database connection to ensure proper encoding. 

// Set character set and collation for the database connection
mysqli_set_charset($conn, 'utf8');

// Import CSV data into MySQL database
$csvFile = 'data.csv';
$handle = fopen($csvFile, "r");

while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
    $sql = "INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3) VALUES ('" . implode("','", $data) . "')";
    mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
}

fclose($handle);
