PHP Cron Read CSV from URL and Convert to Array - php

Question

I am trying to develop email system that need to be send every month. So i need to build cron job file from php. Anyone know how to read file CSV or Excel file from url such as:
http://yourdomain.com/cron.php?file=http://google.com/monthly.csv
I am stuck when try to read file from url.
This is my recent code:
<?php
$url = 'http://www1.intranet.com/reportingtool.asp?settings=var&export=ok';
$tmpfname = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir());
file_put_contents(
$tmpfname,
file_get_contents($url)
);
?>

Answer 1

If you're dealing with remote files, you should always keep in mind that
The connection between you and the remote can break, and you won't get the full file content;
The file can be too big to read it on-the-fly.
In both cases, file_get_contents() is not a very good thing to use: you should consider cURL functions for that. However, if the concerns above are negligible, you should be okay with the following (as the example here suggests):
$url = 'http://www1.intranet.com/reportingtool.asp?settings=var&export=ok';
$tmpfname = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir());
file_put_contents(
$tmpfname,
file_get_contents($url)
);
if (($handle = fopen($tmpfname, "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
// Do something with $data, which comes in
// as an array of values from the current CSV line.
}
}

Someone would need one more example, so leaving it here:
$dataSource can be any file on drive or just online link to parse csv.
private array $data = [];
private string $dataSource = "https://any.csv";
if (($open = fopen($dataSource, 'rb')) !== false)
{
while (($data = fgetcsv($open, 1000, ";")) !== false)
{
$data[] = $data;
}
fclose($open);
}
