How do I import a csv file into a database using the Doctrine ORM classes in php? I'm a noob to this stuff. Any help would be great.
I wouldn't. ORM's are for Object Relational Mapping - that is being able to tie a database record to a materialized class object. For bulk import functionality just use, standard MySQL connection libraries (i.e. mysqli, PDO), or a CSV import script tool (there are many of these that a Google search should turn up).
Or better yet, just use MySQL LOAD DATA INFILE functionality and do it in a single query.
