I'm trying to parse a CSV string to an array in PHP. The CSV string has the following attributes:
Delimiter: ,
Enclosure: "
New line: \r\n
Example content:
"12345","Computers","Acer","4","Varta","5.93","1","0.04","27-05-2013"
"12346","Computers","Acer","5","Decra","5.94","1","0.04","27-05-2013"
When I try to parse it like this:
$url = "http://www.url-to-feed.com";
$csv = file_get_contents($url);
$data = str_getcsv($csv);
var_dump($data);
The last and first element are concatenated in one string:
[0]=> string(5) "12345"
...
[7]=> string(4) "0.04"
[8]=> string(19) "27-05-2013
"12346""
How can I fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
Do this:
$csvData = file_get_contents($fileName);
$lines = explode(PHP_EOL, $csvData);
$array = array();
foreach ($lines as $line) {
$array[] = str_getcsv($line);
}
print_r($array);
It will give you an output like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 12345
[1] => Computers
[2] => Acer
[3] => 4
[4] => Varta
[5] => 5.93
[6] => 1
[7] => 0.04
[8] => 27-05-2013
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 12346
[1] => Computers
[2] => Acer
[3] => 5
[4] => Decra
[5] => 5.94
[6] => 1
[7] => 0.04
[8] => 27-05-2013
)
)
I hope this can be of some help.
