My CSV has table like
Now, what I want to do is, for each record, I want to get the respective cell data and take them in variables. (I need to perform some tasks with the variables then).
e.g. (for each row, their values in variables)
$id = 1;
$name = 'Test';
and so on
Array could be used to do this.
For example,
$row_1 = (‘1’, ‘Test’, ‘chicago’, ‘testuser’, ’21’, ‘123456789’)
I tried searching google, but the results were not relevant to my query.
So you can run a for loop over each row and get it to return the data from each row and cell.
<?php
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("data.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
// echo $data[1];
}
}
fclose($handle);
}
?>
Remember to put your csv file location in the code
Hope that helps
Answer：
doh… thought it was JavaScript..
But think I can try in PHP: http://codepad.org/8SBgTCYy
$labels = explode(",", "id,name,city,username,contact_id,phone");
$values = explode(",", "1,Test,chicage,testuser,21,123456789");
$i = 0;
$count = count($labels);
$object = array();
for ( ; $i < $count; $i++ ) {
$object[$labels[$i]] = $values[$i];
}
var_dump($object);
and the other one: http://codepad.org/AmVp08QR
$values = explode(",", "id,1,name,Test,city,chicago,username,testuser,contact_id,21,phone,123456789");
$i = 0;
$count = count($values);
$object = array();
for( ; $i < $count; $i++ ) {
$object[$values[$i]] = $values[$i+1];
}
var_dump($object);
Like so:
id,name,city,username,contact_id,phone
and
1,Test,chicage,testuser,21,123456789
var labels = "id,name,city,username,contact_id,phone".split(","),
values = "1,Test,chicage,testuser,21,123456789".split(","),
object = {},
i = 0,
len = labels.length;
for( ; i < len; i++) object[labels[i]] = values[i];
Now you have and Object named object as:
{
id: "1",
name: "Test",
city: "chicago",
username: "testuser",
contact_id: "21",
phone: "123456789"
}
or like this:
id,1,name,Test,city,chicago,username,testuser,contact_id,21,phone,123456789
var values = "id,1,name,Test,city,chicago,username,testuser,contact_id,21,phone,123456789".split(","),
object = {},
i = 0,
len = values.length;
for ( ; i < len; i+=2 ) {
object[values[i]] = values[i+1];
}
Then you end up with the same Object in the end.
Answer：
Take a look at fgetcsv() and family…
Also, your CSV files better be compliant with CSV standards; I’ve found that a lot of CSV files are generated using non-standard conventions… it makes interop very painful.

Answer：
array_combine() might be helpful here:
$labels = explode(",", "id,name,city,username,contact_id,phone");
$values = explode(",", "1,Test,chicage,testuser,21,123456789");
// Use fgetcsv() to read these from your file
$data = array_combine($labels,$values);
var_dump($data);
Answer：
I adopted my own technique, by writing each line comma separated.
