I have two very small CSV files that I want to load into array and compare each row and their individual cells, and if there is a change in any cell highlight it.
At the moment I am writing a script to load files and display these onto the browser as they appear on the files.
CSV structure:
My PHP Code:
<?php
$row = 1;
$row2 = 1;
if (($file = fopen("Workbook1.csv", "r")) !== FALSE && ($file2 = fopen("Workbook2.csv", "r")) !== FALSE ) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($file, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row Orginal File: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($i=0; $i < $num; $i++) {
echo $data[$i] . "<br />\n";
}
while(($data2 = fgetcsv($file2, 1000 , ",")) !== FALSE){
$num2 = count($data2);
echo "<p> $num2 fields in line $row2 Updated File: <br /></p>\n";
$row2++;
for ($x=0; $x < $num2; $x++) {
echo $data2[$x] . "<br />\n";
}
}
}
fclose($file);
fclose($file2);
}
?>
Browser Result:
Not to sure why the Array is structured like above image as i understand fgetcsv() read line by line.
Any one can see my my stake in code..?
You are not closing the first while loop in the right place.
Try this
<?php
$row = 1;
$row2 = 1;
if (($file = fopen("Workbook1.csv", "r")) !== FALSE && ($file2 = fopen("Workbook2.csv", "r")) !== FALSE ) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($file, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row Orginal File: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($i=0; $i < $num; $i++) {
echo $data[$i] . "<br />\n";
}
} // end first while loop
while(($data2 = fgetcsv($file2, 1000 , ",")) !== FALSE){
$num2 = count($data2);
echo "<p> $num2 fields in line $row2 Updated File: <br /></p>\n";
$row2++;
for ($x=0; $x < $num2; $x++) {
echo $data2[$x] . "<br />\n";
}
}
fclose($file);
fclose($file2);
}
?>
After reading this enter link description here
I managed to fix it by adding this line of code at the top of the file before fopen()
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings',TRUE);
If you need to set auto_detect_line_endings to deal with Mac line
endings, it may seem obvious but remember it should be set before
fopen, not after:
Having this fixers how can i Compare the values between these two files..?

When I open the csv file
$str = file_get_contents($filename);
$str = mb_convert_encoding($str,"utf-8","sjis");
var_dump($str);
It shows like this
\0000\000.\0000\0000\0008\0000\0005\0007\000,\0000\000.\0000\0001\0000 ....
At first I think , this is the problem of encoding, so I added mb_convert_encoding but in vain.
What cause this improper encoding?
Better you can do like this:
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("test.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
}
}
fclose($handle);
}
Code copied from :http://php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php
alternatively : http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-getcsv.php
I want to retrieve for each line all data for a specific column of a csv file.
File structure
Swimlane,Column,ID,Title
For example retrieve all data for the column "Title".
Code:
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("Business Backlog API Publication.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
// Column title
$num = $data[4];
echo "<p> $num : $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
}
}
fclose($handle);
}
Thank you so much
If file is not huge, you can use file() function:
$lines = file("Business Backlog API Publication.csv");
$row = 0;
foreach($lines as $line)
{
$line = explode(",", $line);
$title = $line[3];
echo "<p> $row : $title: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
}
Note that title is at index 3, not 4
This is the standard code on php.net:
<?php
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("test.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
}
}
fclose($handle);
}
?>
Let's assume that test.csv has 3 rows with:
cell11,cell12,cell13
cell21,cell22,cell23
cell31,cell32,cell33
Is it possible to use a foreach loop instead of the while used here and still get the values inside test.csv, for further use?
The code above gives this result:
3 fields in line 1:
cell11
cell12
cell13
3 fields in line 2:
cell21
cell22
cell23
3 fields in line 3:
cell31
cell32
cell33
This is what I have tried:
<?php
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("test.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
// while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
// $num = count($data);
// echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
// $row++;
// for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
// echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
// }
// }
foreach(($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) as $field){
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
}
}
fclose($handle);
}
?>
And the result:
3 fields in line 1:
cell11
cell12
cell13
3 fields in line 2:
cell11
cell12
cell13
3 fields in line 3:
cell11
cell12
cell13
This:
foreach(($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) as $field){ ...
Passes the data from fgetcsv to the new variable $data which doesn't make sense in this case. You can just write this:
foreach (fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",") as $field) { …
But to explain why foreach doesn't work:
As fget (and thus fgetcsv) is a function it does not work as an array, it just returns one, namely the next line in the file.
The foreach example above just gets the first line from that function and iterates over it. This means you iterate over each column of the first line.
I want to take a text file formatted like so:
*note I can change the format of the stored messages, basically there are delimiters and different lines
;68.229.164.10:4/5/2013:Hello
;71.73.174.13:4/6/2013:Oh Hey
(;IPADDRESS:TIMESTAMP:MESSAGE)
and put it in a table that looks like so:
IP Time Message
68.229.164.10 4/6/2013 Hello
71.73.174.13 4/6/2013 Oh Hey
I prefer to use something like the following:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php
And then format the output accordingly.
From Example 1 on the above referenced page:
<?php
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("test.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
}
}
fclose($handle);
}
?>
so, you could do something like this...
<?php
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("path_to_your_data_file", "r")) !== FALSE) {
echo '<table>';
echo '<tr><td></td>IP<td>Time</td><td>Message</td></tr>';
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ":")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
$row++;
if ($num > 2) {
echo '<tr>';
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo '<td>'.$data[$c].'</td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
}
}
echo '</table>';
fclose($handle);
}
?>
$a=";68.229.164.10:4/5/2013:Hello
;71.73.174.13:4/6/2013:Oh Hey";
preg_match_all('{;(.*?):(.*?):(.*)}',$a,$d);
//set th
$d[0][0]='IP';
$d[0][1]='TIME';
$d[0][2]='Message';
$table = '<table>'.PHP_EOL;
foreach($d AS $tr){
$row = PHP_EOL;
foreach($tr AS $td){
$row .= "<td>{$td}</td>".PHP_EOL;
}
$table .= "<tr>{$row}</tr>".PHP_EOL;
}
$table .= "</table>".PHP_EOL;
echo $table;
I am confused on how to read a csv file in php ( only the first 4 fields) and exclude the remaining fileds.
Sno,Name,Ph,Add,PO
1,Bob,0102,Suit22,89
2,Pop,2343,Room2,78
I just want to read first 3 fileds and jump to next data. cannot figure out how to do through fgetcsv
any help?
Thanks,
I added a comment to the sample fgetcsv code for you:
$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen("test.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
// iterate over each column here
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
// handle column data here
echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
// exit the loop after 3rd column parsed
if ($c == 2) break;
}
++$row;
}
fclose($handle);
}
Here's a way to do it without the fgetcsv function:
$lines = file('data.csv');
$linecount = count($lines);
for ($i = 1; $i < $linecount; $i++){
$fields = explode(',', $lines[$i]);
$sno = $fields[0];
$name = $fields[1];
$ph = $fields[2];
$add = $fields[3];
}
