How to separate csv array by column? - php

Question

I have a giant list in excel, they are just two columns
name type
The file is currently being read:
$lines = array_map('str_getcsv', file('file.csv', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES));
print_r($lines); returns:
name1;type
name2;type2
...
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => name1;type1) [1] => Array ( [0] => name2;type2)...
I would like to access separate name and type in an foreach
How can I do this?
Thanks

Answer 1

str_getcsv default delimiter is ',' so you need call it somehow with explicitly specifying ';' as delimeter
for example like this
$myGetCsv = function ($str) {
return str_getcsv($str, ';');
};
$lines = array_map($myGetCsv, file('file.csv', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES));

Use this code for CSV file reading. it ease to use and understand how its work.
if (($handle = fopen('./suppression_invalid_emails.csv', "r")) !== false) {
//getting column name
$column_headers = fgetcsv($handle);
foreach ($column_headers as $header) {
//column as array;
$result[$header] = array();
}
// get data for column;
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle)) !== false) {
$i = 0;
foreach ($result as &$column) {
$column[] = $data[$i++];
}
}
fclose($handle);
echo '<pre>'; print_r($result); echo '</pre>';
}
i use two basic function for this 1st one is fopen for reading file and other is fgetcsv for getting data for column.
and result is:
Array
(
[reason] => Array
(
[0] => Mail domain mentioned in email address is unknown
[1] => Known bad domain
[2] => Known bad domain
)
[email] => Array
(
[0] => muneque#collegeclub.om
[1] => saharfa2000#hatmail.com
[2] => tawheeda81#yahoo.co
)
[created] => Array
(
[0] => 1502644294
[1] => 1502480171
[2] => 1502344320
)
)
