Can you turn on your debugging mode in CiviCRM, and paste your backstrace.

Sorry, I'm not very computer literate... and unfortunately our website design company purchased this database for us to use with our website... obviously not understanding that this database is quite complicated.  I don't know how to do the backtrace.  I turned on debugging, but I don't know what to do from there.

Anyway, basically, I import a csv file that looks like this
LName/FName/IndPrefix/HomeChurch/SpouseofLastName/SpouseofFirstName/StreetAddress/City/PostalCode/HomePhone/Email
Smith/John/Mr/Grace Baptist/Smith/Karen/1234 42 Avenue/Surrey/V3S 4K1/604-574-4332/smithj@telus.net

The file I have I've cut down to ten names so that I don't import too many at once, but of that 10 it says it imports them all, (although the subject message at the top of the page is:  warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/vhosts/cmacpd.bc.ca/httpdocs/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Import/Parser/Contact.php on line 672.
But when I search my contact list, only one or two have imported. 

I don't know if something is wrong with the original file?  When importing I choose, individual, and update, and match all the fields listed above.  Help!

Are the fields in your file actually separated by slash characters (as shown below), or by commas. They need to be separated by commas for the import to work properly.

Code: [Select]

It's an excel spreadsheet saved as csv file... so it would be commas... sorry about that... I just typed it in wrong.

I think there was an error in the relationships I was trying to import.  I took that out and was able to import the whole file... now I just have to go through and manually add relationships... a royal pain, but it'll have to do
