Extracting data from a csv file using php - php

Question

I wrote this piece of code:
$handle = fopen('upload/EFT.csv', "r");
while (! feof($handle)) {
print_r(fgetcsv($handle));
}
fclose($handle);
This is the file:
AKRV0002,AKR,V0002,Akron
AKRV0006,AKR,V0006,Akron
AKRV0007,AKR,V0007,Akron
AKRV0011,AKR,V0011,Akron
AKRV0012,AKR,V0012,Akron
ATLV0019,ATL,V0019,ATLANTA
ATLV0021,ATL,V0021,ATLANTA
It returns this:
Array ( [0] => AKRV0002 [1] => AKR [2] => V0002 [3] => Akron AKRV0006 [4] => AKR [5] => V0006 [6] => Akron AKRV0007 [7] => AKR [8] => V0007 [9] => Akron AKRV0011 [10] => AKR [11] => V0011 [12] => Akron AKRV0012 [13] => AKR [14] => V0012 [15] => Akron ATLV0019 [16] => ATL [17] => V0019 [18] => ATLANTA ATLV0021 [19] => ATL [20] => V0021 [21] => ATLANTA
How can I have this return each line in a new array?

Answer 1

See how array position 3 is "Akron AKRV0006" — that is the last value of line 1 and the first value of line 2. It appears that the newlines aren't being read correctly. Without your raw file, I can't tell why.
Once you have fixed that, you will see that fgetcsv reads only one line at a time (in other words, returns an array with the data from only one row), not all lines at once. So, you will need to loop and add each array to another array until fgetcsv returns no more data:
$data = array();
while ($row = fgetcsv($handle)) {
$data[] = $row;
}

Answer 2

Do you happen to use an old Mac computer?
"Note: If PHP is not properly recognizing the line endings when reading files either on or created by a Macintosh computer, enabling the auto_detect_line_endings run-time configuration option may help resolve the problem."
