# Reporting CSV Import Results

An administrator needs evidence of what happened, not just “upload complete”.

## Report useful totals

Show the escaped filename, rows read, inserted, updated, skipped and rejected, plus row-specific validation messages and whether a transaction committed or rolled back.

~~~php
$summary = [
  "read" => $rowsRead,
  "inserted" => $rowsInserted,
  "rejected" => count($rowErrors)
];
~~~

Totals must reconcile: rows read equals all outcome categories combined. Never display passwords, server paths or raw SQL errors.

## Accessible output

Use a clear heading and a list or table. Do not communicate success through colour alone. Make corrective messages specific: include the CSV row number and violated rule.

## Check

- [ ] Totals match database records.
- [ ] Both success and failure cases are tested.
- [ ] Messages help the administrator correct the file.
- [ ] Sensitive technical details remain hidden.
