How to get csv cell value by row and column values - php

Question

I have a simple CSV table
Name,Year of birth,City
Yeremy,1980,New York
Louis,1982,Washington
Marta,1987,Chicago
David,1985,Los Angeles
Also, I have this code to can get cell value by number of row and number of column:
$trow = 3;
$tcolumn = 3;
$output .= '<span>';
$row = 1;
$mycsvfile = array();
if (($handle = fopen($abspath, "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
$row++;
$mycsvfile[] = $data;.
}
fclose($handle);
}
$output .= $mycsvfile[$trowN][$tcolumnN];
$output .= '</span>';
I want to define that $trow=Marta and $tcolumn=City, so, in this case to get value "Chicago"...

Answer 1

The code could be optimized a lot, but with the current code:
$output .= array_column($mycsvfile, null, 0)['Marta'][2];
Re-index the array on the values in the Name (column 0)
Access the one with index Marta, getting the value in the City (column 2)
You can access by column name if you combine the column names:
if (($handle = fopen($abspath, "r")) !== FALSE) {
$columns = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$mycsvfile[] = array_combine($columns, $data);
}
fclose($handle);
}
$output .= array_column($mycsvfile, null, 'Name')['Marta']['City'];
Keep in mind that if Marta occurs more than once in the Name column then the LAST one will be returned.
