Parse string from array to use in csv - php

Question

Im generating a array that record looks like :
315 =>
array (size=3)
0 => string 'Bangkok ICD' (length=11)
1 => string '[pc_315]' (length=8)
2 => string '45.00;5600.00;677.78;45.00;454.00;;;;'
Next im putting this array in csv using simple mathod:
private function fill_file_data($list)
{
$file = $this->csv_file_path."/tariff_{$this->freight_tariff->id}_matrix.csv";
if(!file_exists($file))
{
file_put_contents($file, "");
}
$file_handler = fopen($file, 'w');
foreach($list as $fields)
{
fputcsv($file_handler, $fields, $this->delimiter, $this->separator);
}
fclose($file_handler);
return;
}
But there is a problem with this part :
2 => string '45.00;5600.00;677.78;45.00;454.00;;;;'
I it is separeted by semicolon but fputcsv treats this as a string. Is there a way to read this part as csv collumns?

Answer 1

I think you should explode your string by ; and add this values as new array elements, for example
$arr = array(
'Bangkok ICD',
'[pc_315]',
'45.00;5600.00;677.78;45.00;454.00;;;;'
);
$new_values = explode(';', $arr[2]);
// now we remove string '45.00;5600.00;677.78;45.00;454.00;;;;'
unset($arr[2]);
$arr = array_merge($arr, $new_values);
After that you can pass this item to your method.
