Howto remove html entity from the csv file while upload? - php

Question

I'm trying to upload csv file, it uploads the csv, but the data are not correct.
How can I convert this into just string and remove the & lt;p&gt ; or the <p>?
Example of my csv file data:
**<p>\DECO APPLE GRN IN WOODEN CRATE SIZE 34X25X15.5CM PLASTIC</p>\**

Answer 1

You can do something like this.
$sample_string = '**<p>\DECO APPLE GRN IN WOODEN CRATE SIZE 34X25X15.5CM PLASTIC</p>\**';
echo strip_tags(html_entity_decode($sample_string));
// **\DECO APPLE GRN IN WOODEN CRATE SIZE 34X25X15.5CM PLASTIC\**
Application (if it's not malformed):
$data = array();
if (($handle = fopen('sample.csv', 'r')) !== false) {
while (($row = fgetcsv($handle, 4096, ',', "\n")) !== false) {
$data[] = array_map(function($var){
return strip_tags(html_entity_decode($var));
}, $row);
}
fclose($handle);
}
echo '<pre>';
print_r($data);
Output:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => PROD.product_id
[1] => PROD.sync_2
[2] => PROD.quantity
[3] => PROD_DESC.name
[4] => PROD_DESC.description
[5] => PROD_DISC.price
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => ABCD
[2] => 2570
[3] => VIP
[4] => "\ DECO APPLE GRN IN WOODEN CRATE SIZE 34X25X15.5CM PLASTIC\"
[5] => 0.848
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => ABCDEFG
[2] => 2570
[3] => VIP 2
[4] => "\ DECO APPLE GRN IN WOODEN CRATE SIZE 34X25X15.5CM PLASTIC\"
[5] => 10
)
)
