$sql = ... where i.name = m.code, m.code like (" .'$ref,'

$sql .= '$ref,',

and at the end replace the last ',' with ')'

    Unless you have so many lines in that input file that your sql-code exceeds the maximum length your database engine accepts.

    And rather than a LIKE, I'd use the IN function.

    A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
