I have created a database and a table. I have also created all the fields I will be needing. I have created 46 fields including one that is my ID for the row. The CSV doesn't contain the ID field, nor does it contain the headers for the columns. I am new to all of this but have been trying to figure this out. I'm not on here being lazy asking for the answer, but looking for directions.
I'm trying to figure out how to import the CSV but have it start importing data starting at the 2nd field, since I'm hoping the auto_increment will fill in the ID field, which is the first field I created.
I tried these instructions with no luck. Can anyone offer some insight?

like column1,column2,column3
Edit:
The CSV file is 32.4kb
The first row of my CSV is:
Test Advertiser,23906032166,119938,287898,,585639051,287898 - Engager - 300x250,88793551,Running,295046551,301624551,2/1/2010,8/2/2010,Active,,Guaranteed,Publisher test,Maintainer test,example-site.com,,All,All,,Interest: Dental; custom geo zones: City,300x250,-,CPM,$37.49 ,"4,415","3,246",3,0,$165.52 ,$121.69 ,"2,895",805,0,0,$30.18 ,$37.49 ,0,$0.00 ,IMPRESSIONBASED,NA,USD
In the Format list, select CSV. Changing format-specific options. If the csv file is delimited by a character other than a comma or if there are other specifications to the csv files, we can change it in this portion. Click Go to start importing the csv file and the data will be successfully imported into MySQL.
Importing CSV file using MySQL Workbench The following are steps that you want to import data into a table: Open table to which the data is loaded. Review the data, click Apply button. MySQL workbench will display a dialog “Apply SQL Script to Database”, click Apply button to insert data into the table.
You can have MySQL set values for certain columns during import. If your id
field is set to auto increment, you can set it to null during import and MySQL will then assign incrementing values to it. Try putting something like this in the SQL tab in phpMyAdmin:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'path/to/file.csv' INTO TABLE your_table FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' SET id=null;
Please look at this page and see if it has what you are looking for. Should be all you need since you are dealing with just one table. MYSQL LOAD DATA INFILE
So for example you might do something like this:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'filepath' INTO TABLE 'tablename' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (column2, column3, column4);
That should give you an idea. There are of course more options that can be added as seen in the above link.
be sure to use LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE if the import file is local. :)
