How to concatenate two columns in a csv file in php? - php

Question

I have a csv file like this:
I would like to concatenate the values of the style_color columns in this csv file. To have for example SCJEG4_1014.
I wrote a script, it creates this last column with the header 'Pictures Names' but in each cell I just have "_".
How can I solve my problem?
<?php
//uploaded xlsx file recovery
$xlsx="C:/wamp64/www/Extract_pictures_Excel/xlsx_files/".date('Y_m_d H-i-s')."_file.xlsx";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["mon_fichier"]["tmp_name"],$xlsx);
// Excel in CSV
require_once 'PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';
$excel = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load($xlsx);
$writer = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($excel, 'CSV');
$writer->setDelimiter(";");
$writer->setEnclosure("");
$nomcsv = "C:/wamp64/www/Extract_pictures_Excel/csv/".date('Ymd_His').".csv";
$writer->save($nomcsv);
$delimiter = ";";
$csv_data = array();
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen($nomcsv, 'r')) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, $delimiter)) !== FALSE) {
$names_pictures = $data[7].'_'.$data[4];
$csv_data[] = $data;
$row++;
}
fclose($handle);
}
$extra_columns = array('Pictures Names' => $names_pictures);
foreach ($csv_data as $i => $data) {
if ($i == 0) {
$csv_data[$i] = array_merge($data, array_keys($extra_columns));
} else {
$csv_data[$i] = $data = array_merge($data, $extra_columns);
}
}
if (($handle = fopen($nomcsv, 'w')) !== FALSE) {
foreach ($csv_data as $data) {
fputcsv($handle, $data, $delimiter);
}
fclose($handle);
}

It looks like you only add in the details from the last row ( as you only use the value of $names_pictures once). It would be better (IMHO) to add this value into the data at the point at which you generate the $csv_data array...
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, $delimiter)) !== FALSE) {
$data['Pictures Names'] = $data[7] . '_' . $data[4];
$csv_data[] = $data;
$row++;
}
You could then remove the foreach ($csv_data as $i => $data) { loop
If you had a different file for the output you could open the output file before the above loop and write the data directly to the output file rather than using $csv_data...
if (($handle = fopen($nomcsv, 'r')) !== FALSE
&& ($ohandle = fopen($nomcsvOutput, 'w')) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, $delimiter)) !== FALSE) {
$data['Pictures Names'] = $data[7] . '_' . $data[4];
fputcsv($ohandle, $data, $delimiter);
}
fclose($handle);
fclose($ohandle);
}
