Magento - Adding products from CSV - Loop issue - php

Question

I have a CSV file with a header row. The code puts the column names as the $Key and $postion is the values. This works okay.
This is the loop creating the string of attributes to add to the product. When i "echo $sets" it displays correctly
foreach ($each_csv as $position => $details) {
$sets .= ->set$position('$details')}
$sets is creating the ->set code for the product. How do I implement the loop values into the product set function
$product->setWebsiteIds(array(1))
->setTypeId('simple')
->setMediaGallery (array('images'=>array (), 'values'=>array ()))
// How can I add the looped values here from the array
. Full Code Below
<?php
include ("../config/init.php");
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
$rows = array_map('str_getcsv', file('prouduct_ids.csv'));
$header = array_shift($rows);
$csv = array();
foreach ($rows as $row) {
$csv[] = array_combine($header, $row);
}
//print_r($csv);
reset($csv);
$dataSetCount = count($csv);
echo "<h1>There are $dataSetCount products</h1>";
$i = 0;
foreach ($csv as $each_csv) {
$i++;
echo "<h2>csv $i</h2>";
if(!$product->getIdBySku($each_csv['Sku'])){
echo $each_csv['Sku'] . " - Already in website";
} else {
foreach ($each_csv as $position => $details) {
$sets .=->set$position('$details')}
$product->setWebsiteIds(array(1)) //website ID the product is assigned to, as an array
->setTypeId('simple') //product type
->setMediaGallery (array('images'=>array (), 'values'=>array ()));
//media gallery initialization
$product->save();
unset($sets);
}
}

You want to use the $product->setData('data_key', 'value') function.
For example, this function:
$product->setTypeId('simple')
Is the exact same as this function:
$product->setData('type_id', 'simple')
Keep in mind that a capital letter represents an underscore in the attribute name. typeId is type_id because the I in Id is capitalized.
The code in your functon will look like this:
[...]
foreach ($each_csv as $position => $details) {
$sets .= $product->setData($position, $details)
[...]
Where $position is the attribute code, and $details is the attribute value.
