I have parsed a page with a table and I have an array with data. I need to export this data to CSV file, but want to save formating, especially superscipt. Here is my code:
$filename = 'data.csv';
$arraySup['data1'] = 'Value1';
$arraySup['data2'] = 'Value2';
$arraySup['data3'] = '<div><b>6</b><sup>3</sup></div>';
$arraySup['data4'] = '<div><b>2</b><sup>1 1/2</sup><br>49.67</div>';
$handle = fopen($filename, 'a+');
fputcsv($handle, $arraySup);
fclose($handle);
I need to get this on output in my CSV file.
Here is link to image what I want to get.

I will appreciate any help in this question.

I have a .csv file which I can use with Google maps API to successfully create map data.
What I'm looking to do is merge 2 (or more) .csv files and display the TOTAL data on the Google map in the same way. They are all in the same format.
I have the paths to the 2 csv files and if need be, a blank .csv file in the same directory where the files could be merged to...
Unfortuantely, the .csv files all have an initial 'header row' which would be awesome to omit when merging...
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be very happy. Thanks
edit: I've tried:
$data1 = file_get_contents('google_map_data.csv');
$data2 = file_get_contents('google_map_data2.csv');
$TOTALdata = "google_map_dataALL.csv";
function joinFiles(array $files, $result)
{
if(!is_array($files)) {
throw new Exception('`$files` must be an array');
}
$wH = fopen($result, "w+");
foreach($files as $file)
{
$fh = fopen($file, "r");
while(!feof($fh))
{
fwrite($wH, fgets($fh));
}
fclose($fh);
unset($fh);
fwrite($wH, "\n"); //usually last line doesn't have a newline
}
fclose($wH);
unset($wH);
joinFiles(array($data1, $data2), $TOTALdata);
I'm assuming both files are small, so loading them all in one go should be OK.
The code loads both files then removes the first line off the second one. It also removes any end of line from the first file, but adds it's own to ensure it always has a new line...
$data1 = file_get_contents('google_map_data.csv');
$data2 = file_get_contents('google_map_data2.csv');
$TOTALdata = "google_map_dataALL.csv";
$data2 = ltrim(strstr($data2, PHP_EOL));
file_put_contents($TOTALdata, rtrim($data1).PHP_EOL.$data2);
I have a working system on which I get the data of two .csv file. And save all the data into array and then compare some of the data existing on both csv file. The system works well but later I found out that some of the rows doesn't display on the array. I think I don't use the proper code in reading a csv file. I want to edit/improve the system. This is my code on reading or getting the data from csv file.
$thedata = array();
$data = file("upload/payment.csv");
foreach ($data as $deposit){
$depositarray = explode(",", $deposit);
$depositlist = $depositarray;
$key = md5($depositlist[9] . $depositlist[10]);
$thedata[$key]['payment'] = array(
'name' => $depositlist[0],
'email' => $depositlist[1],
'modeofpayment' =>$depositlist[8],
'depositdate' => $depositlist[9],
'depositamount' => number_format($depositlist[10],2)
);
}
'<pre>',print_r($thedata),'</pre>';
//more code here for comaparing of datas...
1.) What is wrong with file("upload/payment.csv") when reading csv file?
2.) What is the best code in reading a csv file that is applicable on the
system, not changing the whole code. Should remain the foreach loop.
3.) Is fgetcsv much better for the existing code? What changes should be made?
Yes, You can use "fgetcsv" for this purpose.
The fgetcsv() function parses a line from an open file.This function returns the CSV fields in an array on success, or FALSE on failure and EOF.
check the examples given below
eg1 :
<?php
$file = fopen("contacts.csv","r");
print_r(fgetcsv($file));
fclose($file);
?>
eg 2:
<?php
$file = fopen("contacts.csv","r");
while(! feof($file))
{
print_r(fgetcsv($file));
}
fclose($file);
?>

I need to import csv file with php getcsv function but the file is not well formated and cannot import it. After uploading the file, I'd like to delete all " inside the file to have a proper file with ; for each field.
This is an example of my file:
"DENO;NAME;SURNAME;""BIRTH"";""ZIP"";CITY;E-MAIL;TELEPHONE"
"M;DAVID;BON;""1959-02-12 00:00:00"";75009;PARIS;email#gmail.com;010000000"
"M;DOE;JHON;""1947-02-02 00:00:00"";75008;PARIS;email#gmail.com;060000000"
"M;DAVE;Philippe;""1950-01-01 00:00:00"";75002;""PARIS"";email#gmail.com;070000000"
I think I would need to read each line of the file,and maybe use str_replace but I don't know how to write the new file...
Assuming you can get your code into a text string, you can just replace/remove the double-quotes. Then parse the text and get it into a format that will support fputcsv().
When writing the folder, be sure to check that your user has permissions to write to this folder (for example if the parent folder has permissions drwxr-xr-x, you can fix it with chmod g+w folder_name).
<?php
// sample text to parse
$some_text = '"DENO;NAME;SURNAME;""BIRTH"";""ZIP"";CITY;E-MAIL;TELEPHONE"
"M;DAVID;BON;""1959-02-12 00:00:00"";75009;PARIS;email#gmail.com;010000000"
"M;DOE;JHON;""1947-02-02 00:00:00"";75008;PARIS;email#gmail.com;060000000"
"M;DAVE;Philippe;""1950-01-01 00:00:00"";75002;""PARIS"";email#gmail.com;070000000"';
// remove quotes
$final_text = str_replace('"', '', $some_text);
// create array of rows by searching for new lines
$data = str_getcsv($final_text, "\n");
// create an empty array to save our final csv data
$final_csv = array();
// loop thru the array and save to the final csv data
foreach ($data as $value) {
// before saving to final csv data, split row into individual column items
$value_array = explode(";", $value);
$final_csv[] = $value_array;
}
// helper debugger to show data before writing it
echo "<pre>";
print_r($final_csv);
echo "</pre>";
// create a new file for writing or open and truncate to 0
$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'w');
// write to file from final csv data
foreach ($final_csv as $fields) {
fputcsv($fp, $fields);
}
// close file
fclose($fp);
?>
I have created a form and able to add data to CSV on submit. But my code is such that the csv file is delimited by commas and so when I add comma in the form data, the php code separates it as another entry (column).
Here is my php code:
<?php
$filename = "data.csv";
$string = $_POST['element_1'].",".$_POST['element_2'].",".$_POST['element_3'].",".$_POST['element_4_1']."-".$_POST['element_4_2']."-".$_POST['element_4_3'].",".$_POST['element_5']."\n";
if (file_exists($filename)) {
$file = fopen($filename, "a");
fwrite($file, $string);
} else {
$file = fopen($filename, "a");
fwrite($file, '"Name","Phone","No. of persons","Date","Venue"\n');
fwrite($file, $string);
}
fclose($file);
?>
In the above code, Venue sometimes, takes 'commas'. But the code separates the Venue data into new columns.
So, is there any other way to enter data into excel sheet other that CSV or any code gimmick.
You can make your life easier by using fputcsv and fgetcsv.
fputcsv lets you specify the delimiter and enclosure you need. The big difference is that you must pass the fields as an array: each value of the array is a column value in the csv line.
So given a $fields array that contains your CSV line values:
$file = fopen( 'data.csv', 'a' );
fputcsv( $file, $fields, ',', '"' );
fclose( $file );
Important: the flag on fopen must be a in order to append to the file. If you use w you will overwrite the previous content.
My text file contains:
a
b
c
d
e
I can't figure out how to amend my code so that I can overwrite line 3 ONLY (ie replacing "c") with whatever I type into the input box 'data'. My code is as follows, currently the contents of the input box 'data' replaces my file entirely:
$data = $_POST['data'];
$file = "data.txt";
$fp = fopen($file, "w") or die("Couldn't open $file for writing");
fwrite($fp, $data) or die("Couldn't write values to file");
fclose($fp);
I have it working the other way around, ie the code below reads line 3 ONLY into the text box when the page first loads:
$file = "data.txt";
$lines = file( $file );
echo stripslashes($lines[2]);
Can anybody advise the code I need to use to achieve this?
The only way is to read the whole file, change the 3rd line, then write it all back out. Basically, like so:
$lines = file($file);
$lines[2] = $_POST['data'];
file_put_contents($file, implode("\n", $lines));
Btw, your reading code does not "ONLY" read line 3 - it reads all lines as per file() and then you only use line 3.
