fgetcsv convert array to string with double quote enclosure - php

Question

I am getting data from a csv as an array using the fgetcsv function. I want to convert the array into a string, so I have used the implode function.
CODE:
if (($handle = fopen("storelocations.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$datafinal = implode(",",$data);
echo $datafinal;
}
fclose($handle);
}
I am getting the result string say as Ter Aar, Netherlands,4.7159509,52.164688,,211316. But I would like each entry to be enclosed by double quotes. How can I do that?
Expected result: `"Ter Aar", "Netherlands","4.7159509","52.164688","","211316"
My approach #1 -
I passed the " as enclosure following the documentation but it is not working.
if (($handle = fopen("../storelocations.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",", '"')) !== FALSE) {
$datafinal = implode(",",$data);
echo $datafinal;
}
fclose($handle);
}
My approach #2 -
function convert( $str ) {
return '"'.$str.'"';
}
if (($handle = fopen("../storelocations.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",", '"')) !== FALSE) {
//$datafinal = array_map( convert, $data );
$datafinal = implode(",",$data);
echo $datafinal;
//var_dump($data);
}
fclose($handle);
}
This returns a string as "Ter Aar", "Netherlands","4.7159509","52.164688","","""211316".
As you can see the item following the blank data gets three quotes in the beginning.

Answer 1

You can do it as follows
// PHP 5.3 and later
echo $datafinal = implode(",",array_filter($data, function($value) { return $value !== ''; }));
This will help you sure

Try following code to read csv file and get data as multi-dimentional array
$csv_data = array_map('str_getcsv', file('../storelocations.csv'));
foreach ($csv_data as $key => $value)
{
var_dump($value); // print each row of csv
var_dump($value[0]) // print first column of each row
}
