Something like this should help you get started.

This is for vtiger 5.4.0 but there won't be much change to make it work 
for 6; probably just include the main webUI entry point.

Note this script reads in a csv file with the separator a semi-colon.

For large imports I break the csv file into multiple files of say 50,000 
each and then call this script from a bash shell script wrapper which 
does something like this:

> for FILE in ${FILES}

> 	php -f write-csv.php ${FILEPATH}${FILE}
> done
