Hey everybody...
I know that a lot of people have written code to parse CSVs etc... I have written one which I believe is a lot smaller and faster than those listed here...
<?php
/*
class.parser.php

function doParse($csvFile,$sep) {
$csvFile = file($csvFile);
foreach ($csvFile as $key=>$value) {
$v = explode($sep,$value);
foreach ($v as $kk=>$lineItem) {
$csv[$key][$kk] = trim(trim($lineItem),"\"");
}
}
return $csv; // an associative array of the csv.
}
function dumpCSV($data,$sep,$heading = "") {
/*
build the "csv" from a 2 dimensional array
$result = $parser->dumpCSV($data,",",$heading);
where $data is an array formed similar to doParse (see above), and $heading
is the heading line for the CSV (titles etc).... Something like
$heading = "\"Booking Number\",\"Booking Date\"\n";
if you do not want/need a headling line, do not include $heading

fgetcsv
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
fgetcsv — Obtiene una linea del archivo apuntado y extrae los campos CSV
Descripción
- handle
- Un apuntador de archivo válido abierto exitosamente por fopen(), popen(), o fsockopen().
- length (Optional)
- Debe ser mayor que la línea más grande (en caracteres) a ser encontrada en el archivo CSV (permitiendo los caracteres de fin de línea). Se volvió opcional en PHP 5. Omitiendo este parámetro (o poniéndolo en 0 en PHP 5.0.4 y superior) no hay tamaño máximo para una línea, lo cuál lo hace un poco lento.
- delimiter (Optional)
- Fija el delimitador del campo (sólo un caracter). El valor por defecto es la coma.
- enclosure (Optional)
- Fija el caracter de delimitación (sólo un caracter). El caracter por defecto son las dobles comillas. Agregado en PHP 4.3.0.
Similar a fgets() excepto en el formato CSV y regresa una matriz conteniendo los campos leídos.
fgetcsv() regresa FALSE en error, incluyendo fin de archivo.
Note: Una línea en blanco en un archivo CSV será regresada como una matriz que contiene un campo null, y no ser´ tratada como error.
Example #1 Lee e imprime todo el contenido del archivo CSV
<?php
$row = 1;
$handle = fopen("test.csv", "r");
while (($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);
?>
fgetcsv() es seguro en forma binaria desde PHP 4.3.5
Note: Las opciones locales son tomadas en cuenta por esta función. Si LANG es por ejemplo en_US.UTF-8, los archivos codificados en one-byte serán leídos equivocadamente por está función.
Note: Si sufre problemas con PHP no reconociendo los finales de línea cuando lee archivos creados en un Macintosh (o leyendo archivos sobre uno), puede probar activando la opción de configuración auto_detect_line_endings.

The array_flip() function is handy for converting column names to column numbers. Assuming the first row contains column names, you can simply read it via fgetcsv(); this will give you a number-indexed array of column names. Applying array_flip() converts that into a name-indexed array of column numbers.
The following example does this, and assumes that two of the columns are named "animal" and "sound" but does not make any assumption about where those columns are.
$fp = fopen($url, "r");
$names = array_flip(fgetcsv($fp, 1000));
while (($values = fgetcsv($fp, 1000)) !== FALSE) {
print "The ".$values[$names["animal"]]." says ".$values[$names["sound"]].".\n";
}
fclose($fp);

With this modification the last item will be added to the array: "a","b","c" is transformed to array("a","b","c") - old function returned array("a","b")

This is a pretty useful update/modification to the fgetcsv function, which allows for:

Yet another tool to parse CSV data into a associated 2d array. However, when within quotes, newline characters are treated as data instead of syntax.

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.

This is a minor fix to mortanon@gmail.com's CSVIterator. The original version would die if the last line of a file did not end in a line break and you called valid() inside the iterator loop because the file would have already been closed and thus feof() would have an invalid file pointer param.

A much simpler way to map the heading/column names to the elements on each line. It also doesn't fill up one big array which could cause you to run out of memory on large datasets. This loads one at a time so you can process/insert to db/etc...
$handle = fopen('somefile.csv', 'r');
if ($handle)
{
set_time_limit(0);
//the top line is the field names
$fields = fgetcsv($handle, 4096, ',');
//loop through one row at a time
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 4096, ',')) !== FALSE)
{
$data = array_combine($fields, $data);
}
fclose($handle);
}

This function appears to assume that \" is an escaped quote - similar to "" - which may lead to incorrect results while reading some files. Found while running under PHP 5.1.6.

the enclosure param defaulting to " and giving a warning if it's an empty string makes this function nearly worthless. csv files do not always have the fields enclosed, and in those cases it doesn't work.
---------
I had the same problem with this as well, enclosure really should be possible to be made null.
However, perhaps a solution to the problem is to use "\n" as the enclosure character in fgetcsv. As far as I tested it seems to work out just fine. I was thinking of using "\0" but that may cause problems with some data files. If anyone knows of any issues that might crop up when using "\n" as enclosure, please post away. Thanks.

Thank you to the mystery contributor of csv_string_to_array function:
http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php#62524
This works great when your CSV data has literal commas inside enclosures that you want to preserve, fgetcsv fails at this & interprets comma as end of item even without ending enclosure.
11-Apr-2007 04:00
If you had a problem with fgetcsv and multibyte characters, you have to set the correct local setting:
<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8');
?>
Change it to your local settings and/or charset.

I find the documentation mildly misleading:
fgetcsv() does not - as this documentation seemingly claims in the descriptive line - get a line out of the file (via the file poin
