PHP Gurus...
Can anyone give me a helping hand with this.
I'm more ASP, but trying to move to PHP and sturggling a bit.
I have a few products stored in a csv file created in Excel. Column 1
is the part #, column 2 is title, column 3 is color, column 4 is width
and 5 is price.
I need to read these into arrays, with a seperate array for each
column.
Can anyone suggest anything?
If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much
appreciated!

Hi Tom,
Try something like this:
1) find out what the end-of-line is. Probably \n
2) read the csv into an array using file().
Now each arrayelement is a row from the csv.
check www.php.net for details.
3) Explode each line, using the seperator for columns. (can be tab \t or ,
or whatever you decided.)
Good luck.

Erwin Moller

Hello
have a look at this function, and see if it helps you http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php

foreach($lines as $line)
{
list($partno[],$title[],$color[], ... )

}
?>
Keep in mind that all CSV files are not equal: some use other delimiter than
comma for separating fields, some encapsulate fields within double quotes,
etc. The above code is for a trivial CSV file.

Great, thanks for the tips. I've managed to overcome the hard bit now
:)
I've encountered a small problem that I can't figure out though....
My 1st page is a table with each of the products listed, with a
quantity form field for each product. The name of this field is qty1,
qty2 etc depending on which product it is. With me so far I hope....
The next page calls up the CSV again and loops through each line. I now
want to request the quantity form field for each product.
So I'm trying this
function convertCSVtoAss ocMArray($file, $delimiter)
{
$result = Array();
$size = filesize($file) +1;
$file = fopen($file, 'r');
$keys = fgetcsv($file, $size, $delimiter);
while ($row = fgetcsv($file, $size, $delimiter))
{
for($i = 0; $i < count($row); $i++)
{
if(array_key_ex ists($i, $keys))
{
$row[$keys[$i]] = $row[$i];
}
}
$result[] = $row;
}
fclose($file);
return $result;
}
$myarray = convertCSVtoAss ocMArray("sscre en.csv", ",");
$numElements = count($myarray) ;
for($counter=0; $counter < $numElements; $counter++)
{
$unitprice = $qty * $myarray[$counter][4];
echo $qty[$counter];
echo $counter;
}
But nothing is outputting! Any ideas? I basically need to construct the
$qty1 variable by adding the record count onto the end.
Again, thanks for all your help!
Tom I've encountered a small problem that I can't figure out though....
$myarray = convertCSVtoAss ocMArray("sscre en.csv", ",");
Try adding this line after the one quoted above:
print_r( $myarray );
and see if what you get in the array matches your expectations.

example of how I woud do it: (WARNING: Untested code!)
<?php
$file = file("theFile.c sv");
$r=0;
foreach ($file as $line){
list($row[$r]['partno'], $row[$r]['title'], $row[$r]['color'],
$row[$r]['width'], $row[$r]['price']) = split(",", $line);
}
?>
That puts the whole file into a 2-dimensional arra ($row) that simulates
the layout of the Excel sheet. Do whatever you wnat with it after that.

I need to read these into arrays, with a seperate array for each column.
$maxlinelength = 1000;
$fh = fopen('inventor y.csv', 'r');
$firstline = fgetcsv($fh, $maxlinelength) ;
$cols = count($firstlin e);
$row = 0;
$inventory = array();
while ( ($nextline = fgetcsv($fh, $maxlinelength) ) !== FALSE )
{
for ( $i = 0; $i < $cols; ++$i )
{
$inventory[$firstline[$i]][$row] = $nextline[$i];
}
++$row;
}
fclose($fh);
That puts the data in the array $inventory where $inventory['partno'][10]
is the 11th item in the 'partno' column. Column headings from the csv file
are used as keys for the associative array $inventory. You may address the
columns as "separate arrays" like so: $inventory['partno'] which is in
itself a numerically indexed array with 0 <= index < $row.

Looking for suggestions on how to handle bad words that might
get passed in through $_GET variables.
My first thoughts included using str_replace() to strip out such
content, but then one ends up looking for characters that wrap
around the stripped characters and it ends up as a recursive
ordeal that fails to identify a poorly constructed $_GET
variable (when someone hand-types the item into the line and
makes a simple typing error).

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
