fgetcsv — 从文件指针中读入一行并解析 CSV 字段
$handle
[, int $length
= 0
[, string $delimiter
= ','
[, string $enclosure
= '"'
[, string $escape
= '\\'
]]]] )和 fgets() 类似,只除了 fgetcsv() 解析读入的行并找出 CSV 格式的字段然后返回一个包含这些字段的数组。
handle
一个由 fopen() 、 popen() 或 fsockopen() 产生的有效文件指针。
length
必须大于 CVS 文件内最长的一行。在 PHP 5 中该参数是可选的。如果忽略(在 PHP 5.0.4 以后的版本中设为 0)该参数的话,那么长度就没有限制,不过可能会影响执行效率。
delimiter
设置字段分界符(只允许一个字符)。
enclosure
设置字段环绕符(只允许一个字符)。
escape
设置转义字符(只允许一个字符),默认是一个反斜杠。
返回包含读取字段的索引数组。
Note:
CSV 文件中的空行将被返回为一个包含有单个 null 字段的数组,不会被当成错误。
Note: 在读取在 Macintosh 电脑中或由其创建的文件时, 如果 PHP 不能正确的识别行结束符,启用运行时配置可选项 auto_detect_line_endings 也许可以解决此问题。
如果提供了无效的文件指针, fgetcsv() 会返回 NULL
。
其他错误,包括碰到文件结束时返回 FALSE
,。
版本 | 说明 |
---|---|
5.3.0 |
增加了 escape 参数。
|
4.3.5 | 现在起 fgetcsv() 的操作是二进制安全的。 |
4.3.0 |
增加了 enclosure 参数。
|
Example #1 读取并显示 CSV 文件的整个内容
<?php
$row = 1 ;
if (( $handle = fopen ( "test.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" ;
}
}
fclose ( $handle );
}
?>
Note:
该函数对区域设置是敏感的。比如说 LANG 设为 en_US.UTF-8 的话,单字节编码的文件就会出现读取错误。
[#1] vladimir at luchaninov dot com [2015-10-31 09:47:50]
Here is an example how to use this function with generators
https://github.com/luchaninov/csv-file-loader (composer require "luchaninov/csv-file-loader:1.*")
$loader = new CsvFileLoader();
$loader->setFilename('/path/to/your_data.csv');
foreach ($loader->getItems() as $item) {
var_dump($item); // do something here
}
If you have CSV-file like
id,name,surname
1,Jack,Black
2,John,Doe
you'll get 2 items
['id' => '1', 'name' => 'Jack', 'surname' => 'Black']
['id' => '2', 'name' => 'John', 'surname' => 'Doe']

For anyone else struggling with disappearing non-latin characters in one-byte encodings - setting LANG env var (as the manual states) does not help at all. Look at LC_ALL instead.
In my case it was set to "pl_PL.utf8" but since my input file was in CP1250 most of polish characters (but not all of them!) had gone missing and city of "???d?" had become just "d?". I've "fixed" it with "pl_PL".

If you don't want to define an enclosure charachter you can do the following:
<?php
$row = fgetcsv($handle, 0, $delimiter, 0x00);
?>
I needed this to detect the enclosure used for csv files.

fgetcsv seems to handle newlines within fields fine. So in fact it is not reading a line, but keeps reading untill it finds a \n-character that's not quoted as a field.
Example:
<?php
$handle = fopen("test.csv", "r");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle)) !== FALSE) {
var_dump($data);
}
?>
Returns:
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(5) "col 1"
[1]=>
string(4) "col2"
[2]=>
string(4) "col3"
}
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(29) "this
is
having
multiple
lines"
[1]=>
string(8) "this not"
[2]=>
string(13) "this also not"
}
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(13) "normal record"
[1]=>
string(19) "nothing to see here"
[2]=>
string(7) "no data"
}
This means that you can expect fgetcsv to handle newlines within fields fine. This was not clear from the documentation.

I was getting a bytes exhausted error when iterating through a CSV file. ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings', 1); fixed it.
[#8] ifedinachukwu at yahoo dot com [2011-04-05 05:43:51]
I had a csv file whose fields included data with line endings (CRLF created by hitting the carriage returns in html textarea). Of course, the LF in these fields was escaped by MySQL during the creation of the csv. Problem is I could NOT get fgetcsv to work correctly here, since each and every LF was regarded as the end of a line of the csv file, even when it was escaped!
Since what I wanted was to get THE FIRST LINE of the csv file, then count the number of fields by exploding on all unescaped commas, I had to resort to this:
<?php
$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'r');
$i = 1;
$str='';
$srch='';
while (false !== ($char = fgetc($fp))) {
$str .= $char;//use this to collect the string for outputting
$srch .= $char;//use this to search for LF, possible preceded by \'
if(strlen($srch) > 2){
$srch = substr($srch, 1);//ie trim off the first char
}
if($i > 1 && $srch[1] == chr(10) && $srch[0] != '\\'){//chr(10) is LF, ie \n
break;//if you get to the \n NOT preceded by \, that's the real line-ending, stop collecting the string;
}
$i++;
}
echo $str;//should contain the first line as string
?>
Perhaps there exists a more elegant solution to this issue, in which case I'd be glad to know!
[#9] Anonymous [2011-02-18 17:23:03]
NOTE: i think the example in this page should be changed. I think the following line should be added to just inside the while loop:
if( $data === true ) die('PAY ATTENTION DUMMY');
The reasoning for this, is if the user happens to take out the seemingly "extra" brackets around the "$data" part, they will get a while bunch of rows where all they get is the value true instead of an array. This way, if the user borrows the code but then later on removes the seemingly "extra" brackets, they have something keeping them safe from themselves at least.
I say this because this just happened to some poorly designed code in a system I manage, that as a result caused a whole bunch of blank records to be imported into a database.

The fgetcsv() is really great. CSV files are not as simple as they seem. They may span multiple lines, contain unmatched double quotes (like: 32" screen size) and lot of other surprising variants. My problem was that I had an ISO-8859-1 encoded file and fgetcsv() expects it to be UTF-8 encoded. I tried with a range of regular expressions I found on the Internet but none of them worked 100 %. So, if you haven't discovered it yet: fgetcsv() is king. My server doesn't have str_getcsv() so I had to figure out some way to use fgetcsv() for my ISO-8859-1 files.
I found the answer here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48507. So I ended up with:
<?php
class utf8encode_filter extends php_user_filter
{
function filter($in, $out, &$consumed, $closing)
{
while ($bucket = stream_bucket_make_writeable($in)) {
$bucket->data = utf8_encode($bucket->data);
$consumed += $bucket->datalen;
stream_bucket_append($out, $bucket);
}
return PSFS_PASS_ON;
}
}
?>
and
<?php
$fp = @fopen($fileName, "r");
stream_filter_register("utf8encode", "utf8encode_filter")
or die("Failed to register filter");
stream_filter_prepend($fp, "utf8encode");
?>

I needed a function to analyse a file for delimiters and line endings prior to importing the file into MySQL using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
I wrote this function to do the job, the results are (mostly) very accurate and it works nicely with large files too.
<?php
function analyse_file($file, $capture_limit_in_kb = 10) {
// capture starting memory usage
$output['peak_mem']['start'] = memory_get_peak_usage(true);
// log the limit how much of the file was sampled (in Kb)
$output['read_kb'] = $capture_limit_in_kb;
// read in file
$fh = fopen($file, 'r');
$contents = fread($fh, ($capture_limit_in_kb * 1024)); // in KB
fclose($fh);
// specify allowed field delimiters
$delimiters = array(
'comma' => ',',
'semicolon' => ';',
'tab' => "\t",
'pipe' => '|',
'colon' => ':'
);
// specify allowed line endings
$line_endings = array(
'rn' => "\r\n",
'n' => "\n",
'r' => "\r",
'nr' => "\n\r"
);
// loop and count each line ending instance
foreach ($line_endings as $key => $value) {
$line_result[$key] = substr_count($contents, $value);
}
// sort by largest array value
asort($line_result);
// log to output array
$output['line_ending']['results'] = $line_result;
$output['line_ending']['count'] = end($line_result);
$output['line_ending']['key'] = key($line_result);
$output['line_ending']['value'] = $line_endings[$output['line_ending']['key']];
$lines = explode($output['line_ending']['value'], $contents);
// remove last line of array, as this maybe incomplete?
array_pop($lines);
// create a string from the legal lines
$complete_lines = implode(' ', $lines);
// log statistics to output array
$output['lines']['count'] = count($lines);
$output['lines']['length'] = strlen($complete_lines);
// loop and count each delimiter instance
foreach ($delimiters as $delimiter_key => $delimiter) {
$delimiter_result[$delimiter_key] = substr_count($complete_lines, $delimiter);
}
// sort by largest array value
asort($delimiter_result);
// log statistics to output array with largest counts as the value
$output['delimiter']['results'] = $delimiter_result;
$output['delimiter']['count'] = end($delimiter_result);
$output['delimiter']['key'] = key($delimiter_result);
$output['delimiter']['value'] = $delimiters[$output['delimiter']['key']];
// capture ending memory usage
$output['peak_mem']['end'] = memory_get_peak_usage(true);
return $output;
}
?>
Example Usage:
<?php
$Array = analyse_file('/www/files/file.csv', 10);
// example usable parts
// $Array['delimiter']['value'] => ,

If you receive data in the following format:
Time,Dataset1,Dataset2,
timestamp1,item 1 for dataset 1,item1 for dataset2
timestamp2,item 2 for dataset 1,item2 for dataset2
the following code will output a series of arrays grouped by column with the resulting format:
array (
[column 1 title] => array (
[timestamp1] => item1 for dataset1
[timestamp2] => item2 for dataset1
)
[column 2 title] => array (
[timestamp1] => item1 for dataset2
[timestamp2] => item2 for dataset2
)
)

I had a problem with multibytes. File was windows-1250, script was UTF-8 and set_locale wasn't work so I made a simple and safe workaround:
<?php
$fc = iconv('windows-1250', 'utf-8', file_get_contents($_FILES['csv']['tmp_name']));
file_put_contents('tmp/import.tmp', $fc);
$handle = fopen('tmp/import.tmp', "r");
$rows = array();
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 0, ";")) !== FALSE) {
$rows[] = $data;
}
fclose($handle);
unlink('tmp/import.tmp');
?>
I hope You will find it out usefull.
Sorry for my english.

The PHP's CSV handling stuff is non-standard and contradicts with RFC4180, thus fgetcsv() cannot properly deal with files like this example from Wikipedia:
1997,Ford,E350,"ac, abs, moon",3000.00
1999,Chevy,"Venture ""Extended Edition""","",4900.00
1999,Chevy,"Venture ""Extended Edition, Very Large""","",5000.00
1996,Jeep,Grand Cherokee,"MUST SELL!
air, moon roof, loaded",4799.00
Please note: the enclosure symbol is doubled inside fields, field data can contain linebreaks, and there is no real escape symbol. Also, fputcsv() creates non-standard CSV files.
There is a quick and dirty RFC-compliant realization of CSV creation and parsing:
<?php
function array_to_csvstring($items, $CSV_SEPARATOR = ';', $CSV_ENCLOSURE = '"', $CSV_LINEBREAK = "\n") {
$string = '';
$o = array();
foreach ($items as $item) {
if (stripos($item, $CSV_ENCLOSURE) !== false) {
$item = str_replace($CSV_ENCLOSURE, $CSV_ENCLOSURE . $CSV_ENCLOSURE, $item);
}
if ((stripos($item, $CSV_SEPARATOR) !== false)
|| (stripos($item, $CSV_ENCLOSURE) !== false)
|| (stripos($item, $CSV_LINEBREAK !== false))) {
$item = $CSV_ENCLOSURE . $item . $CSV_ENCLOSURE;
}
$o[] = $item;
}
$string = implode($CSV_SEPARATOR, $o) . $CSV_LINEBREAK;
return $string;
}
function csvstring_to_array(&$string, $CSV_SEPARATOR = ';', $CSV_ENCLOSURE = '"', $CSV_LINEBREAK = "\n") {
$o = array();
$cnt = strlen($string);
$esc = false;
$escesc = false;
$num = 0;
$i = 0;
while ($i < $cnt) {
$s = $string[$i];
if ($s == $CSV_LINEBREAK) {
if ($esc) {
$o[$num] .= $s;
} else {
$i++;
break;
}
} elseif ($s == $CSV_SEPARATOR) {
if ($esc) {
$o[$num] .= $s;
} else {
$num++;
$esc = false;
$escesc = false;
}
} elseif ($s == $CSV_ENCLOSURE) {
if ($escesc) {
$o[$num] .= $CSV_ENCLOSURE;
$escesc = false;
}
if ($esc) {
$esc = false;
$escesc = true;
} else {
$esc = true;
$escesc = false;
}
} else {

For my surprise this function using 5.3.2 on windows now when it reads an empty line it returns FALSE instead of an empty array as the previous versions. This affect code that do not check the result and tries something like this:
<?php
while(!feof($fp)){
$line=fgetcsv($fp,4096,',','"');
foreach($line as $key=>$value){
// ....
}
}
?>
when it was empty array this foreach pass ok but now with FALSE gives this error:
Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
Anyways, it is good idea to check what you getting before process further. This following line will fix the existing code.
if(!$line=fgetcsv($fp,4096,',','"') continue;

This is how to read a csv file into a multidimensional array.
<?php
# Open the File.
if (($handle = fopen("file.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
# Set the parent multidimensional array key to 0.
$nn = 0;
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
# Count the total keys in the row.
$c = count($data);
# Populate the multidimensional array.
for ($x=0;$x<$c;$x++)
{
$csvarray[$nn][$x] = $data[$x];
}
$nn++;
}
# Close the File.
fclose($handle);
}
# Print the contents of the multidimensional array.
print_r($csvarray);

If you have a good idea of the max length of the line you're importing, it's a very good idea to enter the "optional" length parameter.
You may be very pleasantly surprised. (In my recent experience(YMMV), from an hour down to 21 seconds!)
[#21] matthias dot isler at gmail dot com [2010-04-29 04:54:06]
If you want to load some translations for your application, don't use csv files for that, even if it's easier to handle.
The following code snippet:
<?php
$lang = array();
$handle = fopen('en.csv', 'r');
while($row = fgetcsv($handle, 500, ';'))
{
$lang[$row[0]] = $row[1];
}
fclose($handle);
?>
is about 400% slower than this code:
<?php
$lang = array();
$values = parse_ini_file('de.ini');
foreach($values as $key => $val)
{
$lang[$key] = $val;
}
?>
That's the reason why you should allways use .ini files for translations...

Note that fgetcsv, at least in PHP 5.3 or previous, will NOT work with UTF-16 encoded files. Your options are to convert the entire file to ISO-8859-1 (or latin1), or convert line by line and convert each line into ISO-8859-1 encoding, then use str_getcsv (or compatible backwards-compatible implementation). If you need to read non-latin alphabets, probably best to convert to UTF-8.
See str_getcsv for a backwards-compatible version of it with PHP < 5.3, and see utf8_decode for a function written by Rasmus Andersson which provides utf16_decode. The modification I added was that the BOP appears at the top of the file, then not on subsequent lines. So you need to store the endian-ness, and then re-send it upon each subsequent line decoding. This modified version returns the endianness, if it's not available:
<?php
function utf16_decode($str, &$be=null) {
if (strlen($str) < 2) {
return $str;
}
$c0 = ord($str{0});
$c1 = ord($str{1});
$start = 0;
if ($c0 == 0xFE && $c1 == 0xFF) {
$be = true;
$start = 2;
} else if ($c0 == 0xFF && $c1 == 0xFE) {
$start = 2;
$be = false;
}
if ($be === null) {
$be = true;
}
$len = strlen($str);
$newstr = '';
for ($i = $start; $i < $len; $i += 2) {
if ($be) {
$val = ord($str{$i}) << 4;

Trying the "setlocale" trick did not work for me, e.g.
<?php
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "en.UTF16");
$line = fgetcsv($file, ...)
?>
But that's perhaps because my platform didn't support it. However, fgetcsv only supports single characters for the delimiter, etc. and complains if you pass in a UTF-16 version of said character, so I gave up on that rather quickly.
Hope this is helpful to someone out there.

I used fgetcsv to read pipe-delimited data files, and ran into the following quirk.
The data file contained data similar to this:
RECNUM|TEXT|COMMENT
1|hi!|some comment
2|"error!|another comment
3|where does this go?|yet another comment
4|the end!"|last comment
I read the file like this:
<?php
$row = fgetcsv( $fi, $length, '|' );
?>
This causes a problem on record 2: the quote immediately after the pipe causes the file to be read up to the following quote --in this case, in record 4. Everything in between was stored in a single element of $row.
In this particular case it is easy to spot, but my script was processing thousands of records and it took me some time to figure out what went wrong.
The annoying thing is, that there doesn't seem to be an elegant fix. You can't tell PHP not to use an enclosure --for example, like this:
<?php
$row = fgetcsv( $fi, $length, '|', '' );
?>
(Well, you can tell PHP that, but it doesn't work.)
So you'd have to resort to a solution where you use an extremely unlikely enclosure, but since the enclosure can only be one character long, it may be hard to find.
Alternatively (and IMNSHO: more elegantly), you can choose to read these files like this, instead:
<?php
$line = fgets( $fi, $length );
$row = explode( '|', $line );
?>
As it's more intuitive and resilient, I've decided to favor this 'construct' over fgetcsv from now on.

Currently, I'm working on a script that takes data exported from one database and converts it so that it can be imported in another. I have been given a bunch of CSV files containing data to make the translation possible --actually, the values are semi-colon separated, not comma-separated.
The following script reads a CSV file with field names on the first line (for an example, see below the script), and turns it into a hash table where the key is one of the fields.
<?php
define('ON_COLLISION_OVERWRITE', 1);
define('ON_COLLISION_SKIP' , 2);
define('ON_COLLISION_ABORT' , 3);
function read_lookup_table_from_csv( $csv_file
, $separator_input = ';'
, $separator_index = '|'
, $index_by = array(0 => '')
, $on_collision = ON_COLLISION_ABORT
, $rec_len = 1024
)
{
$handle = fopen($csv_file, 'r');
if($handle == null || ($data = fgetcsv($handle, $rec_len, $separator_input)) === false)
{
// Couldn't open/read from CSV file.
return -1;
}
$names = array();
foreach($data as $field)
{
$names[] = trim($field);
}
$indexes = array();
foreach($index_by as $index_in => $function)
{
if(is_int($index_in))
{
if($index_in < 0 || $index_in > count($data))
{
// Index out of bounds.
fclose($handle);
return -2;
}
$index_out = $index_in;
}
else
{
// If a column that is used as part of the key to the hash table is supplied
// as a name rather than as an integer, then determine that named column's
// integer index in the $names array, because the integer index is used, below.
$get_index = array_keys($names, $index_in);
$index_out = $get_index[0];
if(is_null($index_out))
{
// A column name was given (as opposed to an integer index), but the
// name was not found in the first row that was read from the CSV file.
fclose($handle);
return -3;
}
}
$indexes[$index_out] = $function;
}
if(count($indexes) == 0)
{
// No columns were supplied to index by.
fclose($handle);
return -4;
}
$retval = array();

Assume the CSV file DaysOfWeek.csv contains this:
DayNo;DayName;DayAbbr
0;Sunday;Sun
1;Monday;Mon
2;Tuesday;Tue
3;Wednesday;Wed
4;Thursday;Thu
5;Friday;Fri
6;Saturday;Sat
(Reproduced in full as a service to you, dear reader, so you can more easily test the script if you wish. :-)
Now,
<?php
$days = read_lookup_table_from_csv('DaysOfWeek.csv');
$days = read_lookup_table_from_csv('DaysOfWeek.csv', 0);
$days = read_lookup_table_from_csv('DaysOfWeek.csv', 'DayNo');
?>
will all read the file, and index it using the contents of the zero'th column as an index.
<?php
echo 'The name of day #3 is ', $days[3]['DayName'];
?>
Alternatively, you can use the function like this
<?php
$days = read_lookup_table_from_csv('DaysOfWeek.csv', 'DayName');
echo 'The abbreviation of Friday is ', $days['Friday']['DayAbbr'];
?>
or like this
<?php
$days = read_lookup_table_from_csv('DaysOfWeek.csv', 'DayAbbr');
echo 'The full name of Fri is ', $days['Fri']['DayName'];
?>
Typically, of course, the first index to $days will be a variable rather than a literal/constant, allowing for easy translation of one value to another.

If you need to set auto_detect_line_endings to deal with Mac line endings, it may seem obvious but remember it should be set before fopen, not after:
This will work:
<?php
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings',TRUE);
$handle = fopen('/path/to/file','r');
while ( ($data = fgetcsv($handle) ) !== FALSE ) {
//process
}
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings',FALSE);
?>
This won't, you will still get concatenated fields at the new line position:
<?php
$handle = fopen('/path/to/file','r');
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings',TRUE);
while ( ($data = fgetcsv($handle) ) !== FALSE ) {
//process
}
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings',FALSE);

Here's something I put together this morning. It allows you to read rows from your CSV and get values based on the name of the column. This works great when your header columns are not always in the same order; like when you're processing many feeds from different customers. Also makes for cleaner, easier to manage code.
So if your feed looks like this:
product_id,category_name,price,brand_name, sku_isbn_upc,image_url,landing_url,title,description
123,Test Category,12.50,No Brand,0,http://www.example.com, http://www.example.com/landing.php, Some Title,Some Description
You can do:
<?php
while ($o->getNext())
{
$dPrice = $o->getPrice();
$nProductID = $o->getProductID();
$sBrandName = $o->getBrandName();
}
?>
If you have any questions or comments regarding this class, they can be directed to michael.martinek@gmail.com as I probably won't be checking back here.

If you want to get your CSV rows (in this case a file posted from a form) into one big array, you can use this code. You may have to play around with the ord() and explode separators depending on your line endings. You can change to the commented out explode to use " delimiter.
<?php
if( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] )
{
$csv_rows=Array();
$csv="";
$handle = fopen($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], "r");
//load char by char, to replace line endings
while($data = fgetc($handle))
{
if(ord($data)==13)
{
$csv.="\r\n";
}
else
{
$csv.=$data;
}
}
fclose($handle);
$csv_lines=explode("\r\n", $csv);
foreach($csv_lines as $line)
{
$csv_rows[]=explode(",", $line);
//or ltrim(rtrim(explode('","', $line),'"'),'"') for delimited fields
}
}

[#28] Tim Henderson [2007-10-04 06:40:08]
Only problem with fgetcsv(), at least in PHP 4.x -- any stray slash in the data that happens to come before a double-quote delimiter will break it -- ie, cause the field delimiter to be escaped. I can't find a direct way to deal with it, since fgetcsv() doesn't give you a chance to manipulate the line before it reads it and parses it...I've had to change all occurrences of '\"' to '" in the file first before feeding ot to fgetcsv(). Otherwise this is perfect for that Microsoft-CSV formula, deals gracefully with all the issues.
[#29] jszatmary at hotmail dot com [2007-08-21 07:06:41]

Here is a OOP based importer similar to the one posted earlier. However, this is slightly more flexible in that you can import huge files without running out of memory, you just have to use a limit on the get() method
Sample usage for small files:-
-------------------------------------
<?php
$importer = new CsvImporter("small.txt",true);
$data = $importer->get();
print_r($data);
?>
Sample usage for large files:-
-------------------------------------
<?php
$importer = new CsvImporter("large.txt",true);
while($data = $importer->get(2000))
{
print_r($data);
}
?>
And heres the class:-
-------------------------------------
<?php
class CsvImporter
{
private $fp;
private $parse_header;
private $header;
private $delimiter;
private $length;
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
function __construct($file_name, $parse_header=false, $delimiter="\t", $length=8000)
{
$this->fp = fopen($file_name, "r");
$this->parse_header = $parse_header;
$this->delimiter = $delimiter;
$this->length = $length;
$this->lines = $lines;
if ($this->parse_header)
{
$this->header = fgetcsv($this->fp, $this->length, $this->delimiter);
}
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
function __destruct()
{
if ($this->fp)
{
fclose($this->fp);
}
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
function get($max_lines=0)
{
//if $max_lines is set to 0, then get all the data
$data = array();
if ($max_lines > 0)
$line_count = 0;
else
$line_count = -1; // so loop limit is ignored

{
$number_of_fields = count($data);
if ($current_row == 1)
{
//Header line
for ($c=0; $c < $number_of_fields; $c++)
{
$header_array[$c] = $data[$c];
}
}
else
{
//Data line

Note that fgetcsv() uses the system locale setting to make assumptions about character encoding.
So if you are trying to process a UTF-8 CSV file on an EUC-JP server (for example),
you will need to do something like this before you call fgetcsv():
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ja_JP.UTF8');
[Also not that setlocale() doesn't *permanently* affect the system locale setting]

I was using the function to import a csv file that had some values with "\" included this confused the import function to ignore the End of line and hence an incorrect number of rows is returned to me.
Suggest you try to replace that \ and { brackets as well since they have the same function of an escape character before u import the function
thanks
[#37] [2006-02-27 15:05:51]
beware of characters of binary value == 0, as they seem to make fgetcsv ignore the remaining part of a line where they appear.
Maybe this is normal under some convention I don't know, but a file exported from Excel had those as values for some cells *sometimes*, thus fgetcsv return variable cell counts for different lines.
i'm using php 4.3
[#38] tokai at binaryriot dot com [2005-11-07 14:18:28]
Newer PHP versions handle cvs files slightly different than older versions.
"Max Mustermann"|"Muster Road 34b"|"Berlin" |"Germany"
"Sophie Master" |"Riverstreet" |"Washington"|"USA"
The extra spaces behind a few fields in the example (which are useful, when you manually manage a small csv database to align the columns) were ignored by fgetcsv from PHP 4.3. With the new 4.4.1 release they get appended to the string, so you end up with "Riverstreet " instead the expected "Riverstreet".
Easy workaround is to just trim all fields after reading them in.
<?php
while ( $data = fgetcsv($database, 32768, "|") )
{
$i = 0;
while(isset($data[$i]))
{
$data[$i] = rtrim($data[$i]);
$i++;
}
// ....
}
?>
[#39] junk at vhd dot com dot au [2005-10-24 21:52:46]
The fgetcsv function seems to follow the MS excel conventions, which means:
- The quoting character is escaped by itself and not the back slash.
(i.e.Let's use the double quote (") as the quoting character:
Two double quotes "" will give a single " once parsed, if they are inside a quoted field (otherwise neither of them will be removed).
\" will give \" whether it is in a quoted field or not (same for \\) , and
if a single double quote is inside a quoted field it will be removed. If it is not inside a quoted field it will stay).
- leading and trailing spaces (\s or \t) are never removed, regardless of whether they are in quoted fields or not.
- Line breaks within fields are dealt with correctly if they are in quoted fields. (So previous comments stating the opposite are wrong, unless they are using a different PHP version.... I am using 4.4.0.)
So fgetcsv if actually very complete and can deal with every possible situation. (It does need help for macintosh line breaks though, as mentioned in the help files.)
I wish I knew all this from the start. From my own benchmarks fgetcsv strikes a very good compromise between memory consumption and speed.
-------------------------
Note: If back slashes are used to escape quotes they can easily be removed afterwards. Same for leading and trailing spaces.

using the example above with a length of 1000 will truncate any csv rows longer than 1000 bytes, the remainder of that line will be represented next time you call $data = fgetcsv(). one solution i have seen to this is to use filesize("test.csv") as the length argument, however sometimes with large csv files you may encounter errors for exceeding the memory limit. to remedy this, i have read the csv file into an array, looping through that array to find the longest line in the csv, and then using that value as my length argument, unset($array) to free up the memory. im open to better solutions.

Important note about the CSV format:
There should *not* be any space in between the fields. For example,
field1, field2, field3 [Wrong!]
field1,field2,field3 [Correct-No space between fields]
If you add space between the fields, MS Excel won't recognize the fields (especially date and multi-line text fields).

beware of using this function in two different php versions,
in php 4.3 the 4th parameter can be given altough empty
in php 4.2 you get just a warning but it is not able to read the csv file if you place an enclosure that is empty

If anyone else is taking on the task of converting from FileMaker Pro to MySQL, you might find this useful:
Here's a collection of simple functions that take a CSV file, re-formats the data and writes to a file with MySQL INSERTs.
ORIGINAL DATA:
"1", "foo", "2"
"3", "bar", "4"
OUTPUT
INSERT info mysql_table VALUES('', '1', 'foo', '2');
INSERT info mysql_table VALUES('', '3', 'bar', '4');
For simple data it works alright, but I could not find a way to escape the contents before assembling the INSERT statements - kept getting "bad argument for implode()"...
<?php
$file = "path/to/your/file.txt";
$tbl = "your_MySQL_table";
$CSVarray = get_csv($file);
$CSVarray = makeINSERTS($CSVarray, "$tbl");
$filetowrite = $_POST["file"]."_sql.txt";
$fp = fopen($filetowrite, "w");
while (list($key, $val) = @each($CSVarray)) {
fwrite($fp, $val);
}
fclose($fp);
chmod($filetowrite, 0777);
echo "File written Successfully";
}
// This function courtesy of drudge@phpcoders.net
function get_csv($filename, $delim =","){
$row = 0;
$dump = array();
$f = fopen ($filename,"r");
$size = filesize($filename)+1;
while ($data = fgetcsv($f, $size, $delim)) {
$dump[$row] = $data;
//echo $data[1]."<br>";
$row++;
}
fclose ($f);
return $dump;
}
function makeINSERT($text, $table){
$insert = array();
$i = 0;
while (list($key, $val) = @each($text)){
// We'll start off the INSERT with '', for an
// auto-incremented key. Remove if not needed.
$insert[$i] = "INSERT into ".$table." VALUES('','";
$insert[$i] .= implode("','", $val);
$insert[$i] .= "');\n";
$i++;
}
return $insert;
}
?>

You should pay attention to the fact that "fgetcsv" does remove leading TAB-chars "chr(9)" while reading the file.
This means if you have a chr(9) as the first char in the file and you use fgetcsv this char is automaticaly deleted.
Example:
file content:
chr(9)first#second#third#fourth
source:
<?php $line = fgetcsv($handle,500,"#"); ?>
The array $line looks like:
$line[0] = first
$line[1] = second
$line[2] = third
$line[3] = fourth
and not
$line[0] = chr(9)first
$line[1] = second
$line[2] = third
$line[3] = fourth
All chr(9) after another char is not deleted!
Example:
file content:
Achr(9)first#second#third#fourth
source:
<?php $line = fgetcsv($handle,500,"#"); ?>
The array $line looks like:
$line[0] = Achr(9)first
$line[1] = second
$line[2] = third
$line[3] = fourth

fgetcsv stops reading your file?
I had to write a script to validate and import a large amount of data to MySQL and it would stop running. I've noticed, after trawling the internet for a solution, quite a few people have had similar problems.
Solution? Like a dope I had forgotten to put in
set_time_limit()
within a loop. Otherwise the script would time out before it finished importing all the data.
Moral of the story? Only suppress errors after your script works with a large amount of test data!

This function takes a csv line and splits it into an array, much like fgetcsv does but you can use it on data that isn't coming in from a file, or you can read data from a file some other way (like if your Mac files aren't being read correctly) and use this to split it. If you have any corrections, comments (good or bad), etc. I would appreciate an email to the above address.
<?php
function csv_split($line,$delim=',',$removeQuotes=true) {
#$line: the csv line to be split
#$delim: the delimiter to split by
#$removeQuotes: if this is false, the quotation marks won't be removed from the fields
$fields = array();
$fldCount = 0;
$inQuotes = false;
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($line); $i++) {
if (!isset($fields[$fldCount])) $fields[$fldCount] = "";
$tmp = substr($line,$i,strlen($delim));
if ($tmp === $delim && !$inQuotes) {
$fldCount++;
$i += strlen($delim)-1;
} else if ($fields[$fldCount] == "" && $line[$i] == '"' && !$inQuotes) {
if (!$removeQuotes) $fields[$fldCount] .= $line[$i];
$inQuotes = true;
} else if ($line[$i] == '"') {
if ($line[$i+1] == '"') {
$i++;
$fields[$fldCount] .= $line[$i];
} else {
if (!$removeQuotes) $fields[$fldCount] .= $line[$i];
$inQuotes = false;
}
} else {
$fields[$fldCount] .= $line[$i];
}
}
return $fields;

Here is a function that takes an array and adds a CSV line to the passed file pointer.
<?php
function fputcsv ($fp, $array, $deliminator=",") {
$line = "";
foreach($array as $val) {
# remove any windows new lines,
# as they interfere with the parsing at the other end
$val = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $val);
# if a deliminator char, a double quote char or a newline
# are in the field, add quotes
if(ereg("[$deliminator\"\n\r]", $val)) {
$val = '"'.str_replace('"', '""', $val).'"';
}#end if
$line .= $val.$deliminator;
}#end foreach
# strip the last deliminator
$line = substr($line, 0, (strlen($deliminator) * -1));
# add the newline
$line .= "\n";
# we don't care if the file pointer is invalid,
# let fputs take care of it
return fputs($fp, $line);
}#end fputcsv()
?>
[EDIT BY danbrown AT php DOT net: A function named fputcsv(), performing a very similar action, was added to the core in PHP 5.1.0.]
