fgetcsv
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
fgetcsv — Gets line from file pointer and parse for CSV fields
Descrierea
array fgetcsv
( resource $handle
[, int $length
[, string $delimiter
[, string $enclosure
[, string $escape
]]]] )
Similar to fgets() except that fgetcsv() parses the line it reads for fields in CSV format and returns an array containing the fields read.
Parametri
- handle
-
A valid file pointer to a file successfully opened by fopen(), popen(), or fsockopen().
- length
-
Must be greater than the longest line (in characters) to be found in the CSV file (allowing for trailing line-end characters). It became optional in PHP 5. Omitting this parameter (or setting it to 0 in PHP 5.0.4 and later) the maximum line length is not limited, which is slightly slower.
- delimiter
-
Set the field delimiter (one character only). Defaults as a comma.
- enclosure
-
Set the field enclosure character (one character only). Defaults as a double quotation mark.
- escape
-
Set the escape character (one character only). Defaults as a backslash (\)
Valorile întroarse
Returns an indexed array containing the fields read.
Notă: A blank line in a CSV file will be returned as an array comprising a single null field, and will not be treated as an error.
Notă: Dacă PHP nu recunoaşte corect terminaţiile liniilor atunci când citeşte fişiere pe, sau create pe un computer Macintosh, atunci activând opţiunea de configurare la rulare auto_detect_line_endings ar trebui să ajute la soluţionarea problemei.
fgetcsv() returns NULL if an invalid handle is supplied or FALSE on other errors, including end of file.
Istoria schimbărilor
| Versiunea | Descriere |
|---|---|
| 5.3.0 | The escape parameter was added |
| 4.3.5 | fgetcsv() is now binary safe |
| 4.3.0 | The enclosure parameter was added |
Exemple
Example #1 Read and print the entire contents of a CSV file
<?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);
}
?>
Note
Notă: Locale setting is taken into account by this function. If LANG is e.g. en_US.UTF-8, files in one-byte encoding are read wrong by this function.

Currently, I'm working on a script that takes data exported from one database and converts it so that it can be imported in another. I have been given a bunch of CSV files containing data to make the translation possible --actually, the values are semi-colon separated, not comma-separated.
The following script reads a CSV file with field names on the first line (for an example, see below the script), and turns it into a hash table where the key is one of the fields.
<?php
define('ON_COLLISION_OVERWRITE', 1);
define('ON_COLLISION_SKIP' , 2);
define('ON_COLLISION_ABORT' , 3);
/**
* Reads a CSV file and stores it as a lookup table, implemented as a PHP hash table.
*
* @param string $csv_file the CSV file to read.
* @param string $sep_input the character that is used in the CSV file as field separator.
* @param string $sep_index the character that separates the fields used to construct the hash table's index.
* @param array $index_by the array containing the columns to index the lookup table by, and the function to pre-process those columns with.
* @param integer $on_collision a constant that determines what to do when an index is already in use.
* @param integer $rec_len the maximum length of a record in the input file.
* @return mixed an error number or the resulting hash table.
*/

)
{
$handle = fopen($csv_file, 'r');
if($handle == null || ($data = fgetcsv($handle, $rec_len, $separator_input)) === false)

Assume the CSV file DaysOfWeek.csv contains this:
DayNo;DayName;DayAbbr
0;Sunday;Sun
1;Monday;Mon
2;Tuesday;Tue
3;Wednesday;Wed
4;Thursday;Thu
5;Friday;Fri
6;Saturday;Sat
(Reproduced in full as a service to you, dear reader, so you can more easily test the script if you wish. :-)
Now,
<?php
$days = read_lookup_table_from_csv('DaysOfWeek.csv');
$days = read_lookup_table_from_csv('DaysOfWeek.csv', 0);
$days = read_lookup_table_from_csv('DaysOfWeek.csv', 'DayNo');
?>
will all read the file, and index it using the contents of the zero'th column as an index.
<?php
echo 'The name of day #3 is ', $days[3]['DayName'];
?>
Alternatively, you can use the function like this
<?php
$days = read_lookup_table_from_csv('DaysOfWeek.csv', 'DayName');
echo 'The abbreviation of Friday is ', $days['Friday']['DayAbbr'];
?>
or like this
<?php
$days = read_lookup_table_from_csv('DaysOfWeek.csv', 'DayAbbr');
echo 'The full name of Fri is ', $days['Fri']['DayName'];
?>
Typically, of course, the first index to $days will be a variable rather than a literal/constant, allowing for easy translation of one value to another.

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:
This will work:
<?php
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings',TRUE);
$handle = fopen('/path/to/file','r');
while ( ($data = fgetcsv($handle) ) !== FALSE ) {
//process
}
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings',FALSE);
?>
This won't, you will still get concatenated fields at the new line position:
<?php
$handle = fopen('/path/to/file','r');
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings',TRUE);
while ( ($data = fgetcsv($handle) ) !== FALSE ) {
//process
}
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings',FALSE);
?>

Here's something I put together this morning. It allows you to read rows from your CSV and get values based on the name of the column. This works great when your header columns are not always in the same order; like when you're processing many feeds from different customers. Also makes for cleaner, easier to manage code.
So if your feed looks like this:
product_id,category_name,price,brand_name, sku_isbn_upc,image_url,landing_url,title,description
123,Test Category,12.50,No Brand,0,http://www.example.com, http://www.example.com/landing.php, Some Title,Some Description
You can do:
<?php
while ($o->getNext())
{
$dPrice = $o->getPrice();
$nProductID = $o->getProductID();
$sBrandName = $o->getBrandName();
}
?>
If you have any questions or comments regarding this class, they can be directed to michael.martinek@gmail.com as I probably won't be checking back here.

If you want to get your CSV rows (in this case a file posted from a form) into one big array, you can use this code. You may have to play around with the ord() and explode separators depending on your line endings. You can change to the commented out explode to use " delimiter.
<?php
if( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] )
{
$csv_rows=Array();
$csv="";
$handle = fopen($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], "r");
//load char by char, to replace line endings
while($data = fgetc($handle))
{
if(ord($data)==13)
{
$csv.="\r\n";
}
else
{
$csv.=$data;
}
}
fclose($handle);
$csv_lines=explode("\r\n", $csv);
foreach($csv_lines as $line)
{
$csv_rows[]=explode(",", $line);
//or ltrim(rtrim(explode('","', $line),'"'),'"') for delimited fields
}
}
?>

The array_flip() function is handy for converting column names to column numbers. Assuming the first row contains column names, you can simply read it via fgetcsv(); this will give you a number-indexed array of column names. Applying array_flip() converts that into a name-indexed array of column numbers.
The following example does this, and assumes that two of the columns are named "animal" and "sound" but does not make any assumption about where those columns are.
<?php
$fp = fopen($url, "r");
$names = array_flip(fgetcsv($fp, 1000));
while (($values = fgetcsv($fp, 1000)) !== FALSE) {
print "The ".$values[$names["animal"]]." says ".$values[$names["sound"]].".\n";
}
fclose($fp);

Only problem with fgetcsv(), at least in PHP 4.x -- any stray slash in the data that happens to come before a double-quote delimiter will break it -- ie, cause the field delimiter to be escaped. I can't find a direct way to deal with it, since fgetcsv() doesn't give you a chance to manipulate the line before it reads it and parses it...I've had to change all occurrences of '\"' to '" in the file first before feeding ot to fgetcsv(). Otherwise this is perfect for that Microsoft-CSV formula, deals gracefully with all the issues.

This is a minor fix to mortanon@gmail.com's CSVIterator. The original version would die if the last line of a file did not end in a line break and you called valid() inside the iterator loop because the file would have already been closed and thus feof() would have an invalid file pointer param.

A much simpler way to map the heading/column names to the elements on each line. It also doesn't fill up one big array which could cause you to run out of memory on large datasets. This loads one at a time so you can process/insert to db/etc...
<?php
$handle = fopen('somefile.csv', 'r');
if ($handle)
{
set_time_limit(0);
//the top line is the field names
$fields = fgetcsv($handle, 4096, ',');
//loop through one row at a time
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 4096, ',')) !== FALSE)
{
$data = array_combine($fields, $data);
}
fclose($handle);
}

If you had a problem with fgetcsv and multibyte characters, you have to set the correct local setting:
<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8');
?>
Change it to your local settings and/or charset.

the enclosure param defaulting to " and giving a warning if it's an empty string makes this function nearly worthless. csv files do not always have the fields enclosed, and in those cases it doesn't work.

Here is a OOP based importer similar to the one posted earlier. However, this is slightly more flexible in that you can import huge files without running out of memory, you just have to use a limit on the get() method
Sample usage for small files:-
-------------------------------------
<?php
$importer = new CsvImporter("small.txt",true);
$data = $importer->get();
print_r($data);
?>
Sample usage for large files:-
-------------------------------------
<?php
$importer = new CsvImporter("large.txt",true);
while($data = $importer->get(2000))
{
print_r($data);
}
?>
And heres the class:-
-------------------------------------
<?php
class CsvImporter
{
private $fp;
private $parse_header;
private $header;
private $delimiter;
private $length;
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
function __construct($file_name, $parse_header=false, $delimiter="\t", $length=8000)
{
$this->fp = fopen($file_name, "r");
$this->parse_header = $parse_header;
$this->delimiter = $delimiter;
$this->length = $length;
$this->lines = $lines;
if ($this->parse_header)
{
$this->header = fgetcsv($this->fp, $this->length, $this->delimiter);
}
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
function __destruct()
{
if ($this->fp)
{
fclose($this->fp);
}
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
function get($max_lines=0)
{
//if $max_lines is set to 0, then get all the data
$data = array();
if ($max_lines > 0)
$line_count = 0;
else
$line_count = -1; // so loop limit is ignored
while ($line_count < $max_lines && ($row = fgetcsv($this->fp, $this->length, $this->delimiter)) !== FALSE)
{
if ($this->parse_header)
{
foreach ($this->header as $i => $heading_i)
{
$row_new[$heading_i] = $row[$i];
}
$data[] = $row_new;
}
else
{
$data[] = $row;
}
if ($max_lines > 0)
$line_count++;
}
return $data;
}

I modified the code for my own purposes, to return an array with named keys for each field. I tried various alternatives, and this seems to work well with exported Excel data.
<?php
//Move through a CSV file, and output an associative array for each line
ini_set("auto_detect_line_endings", 1);
$current_row = 1;
$handle = fopen("testdatasource.csv", "r");
while ( ($data = fgetcsv($handle, 10000, ",") ) !== FALSE )
{
$number_of_fields = count($data);
if ($current_row == 1)
{
//Header line
for ($c=0; $c < $number_of_fields; $c++)
{
$header_array[$c] = $data[$c];
}
}
else
{
//Data line
for ($c=0; $c < $number_of_fields; $c++)

Note that fgetcsv() uses the system locale setting to make assumptions about character encoding.
So if you are trying to process a UTF-8 CSV file on an EUC-JP server (for example),
you will need to do something like this before you call fgetcsv():
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ja_JP.UTF8');
[Also not that setlocale() doesn't *permanently* affect the system locale setting]

For those of you who need to get CSV data from a single line of quoted CSV (comma delimited) values (that may have commas in the data), use this:
<?php
function csv_string_to_array($str){
$expr="/,(?=(?:[^\"]*\"[^\"]*\")*(?![^\"]*\"))/";
$results=preg_split($expr,trim($str));
return preg_replace("/^\"(.*)\"$/","$1",$results);
}
$str=<<<EOF
"testing, stuff, here","is testing ok",200,456
EOF;
print_r(csv_string_to_array($str));

I was using the function to import a csv file that had some values with "\" included this confused the import function to ignore the End of line and hence an incorrect number of rows is returned to me.
Suggest you try to replace that \ and { brackets as well since they have the same function of an escape character before u import the function
thanks
27-Feb-2006 11:05
beware of characters of binary value == 0, as they seem to make fgetcsv ignore the remaining part of a line where they appear.
Maybe this is normal under some convention I don't know, but a file exported from Excel had those as values for some cells *sometimes*, thus fgetcsv return variable cell counts for different lines.
i'm using php 4.3

Newer PHP versions handle cvs files slightly different than older versions.
"Max Mustermann"|"Muster Road 34b"|"Berlin" |"Germany"
"Sophie Master" |"Riverstreet" |"Washington"|"USA"
The extra spaces behind a few fields in the example (which are useful, when you manually manage a small csv database to align the columns) were ignored by fgetcsv from PHP 4.3. With the new 4.4.1 release they get appended to the string, so you end up with "Riverstreet " instead the expected "Riverstreet".
Easy workaround is to just trim all fields after reading them in.
<?php
while ( $data = fgetcsv($database, 32768, "|") )
{
$i = 0;
while(isset($data[$i]))
{
$data[$i] = rtrim($data[$i]);
$i++;
}
// ....
}

The fgetcsv function seems to follow the MS excel conventions, which means:
- The quoting character is escaped by itself and not the back slash.
(i.e.Let's use the double quote (") as the quoting character:
Two double quotes "" will give a single " once parsed, if they are inside a quoted field (otherwise neither of them will be removed).
\" will give \" whether it is in a quoted field or not (same for \\) , and
if a single double quote is inside a quoted field it will be removed. If it is not inside a quoted field it will stay).
- leading and trailing spaces (\s or \t) are never removed, regardless of whether they are in quoted fields or not.
- Line breaks within fields are dealt with correctly if they are in quoted fields. (So previous comments stating the opposite are wrong, unless they are using a different PHP version.... I am using 4.4.0.)
So fgetcsv if actually very complete and can deal with every possible situation. (It does need help for macintosh line breaks though, as mentioned in the help files.)
I wish I knew all this from the start. From my own benchmarks fgetcsv strikes a very good compromise between memory consumption and speed.
-------------------------
Note: If back slashes are used to escape quotes they can easily be removed afterwards. Same for leading and trailing spaces.

The file function reads the file in an array with the EOL still attached, so the +1 is not necessary.

I've had alot of projects recently dealing with csv files, so I created the following class to read a csv file and return an array of arrays with the column names as keys. The only requirement is that the 1st row contain the column headings.
I only wrote it today, so I'll probably expand on it in the near future.
<?php
class CSVparse
{
var $mappings = array();
function parse_file($filename)
{
$id = fopen($filename, "r"); //open the file
$data = fgetcsv($id, filesize($filename)); /*This will get us the */
/*main column names */
if(!$this->mappings)
$this->mappings = $data;
while($data = fgetcsv($id, filesize($filename)))
{
if($data[0])
{
foreach($data as $key => $value)
$converted_data[$this->mappings[$key]] = addslashes($value);
$table[] = $converted_data; /* put each line into */
} /* its own entry in */
} /* the $table array */
fclose($id); //close file
return $table;
}
}

The following modification will hide the unnecessary delimiter in the array
that is returned when fgetcsvfromline is called.
<?php
function fgetcsvfromline ($line, $columnCount, $delimiterChar = ',',
$enclosureChar = '"') {
global $regExpSpecialChars;
$matches = array();
$delimiterChar = strtr($delimiterChar, $regExpSpecialChars);
$enclosureChar = strtr($enclosureChar, $regExpSpecialChars);
$cutpoint = strlen($delimiterChar)+1;
$regExp = "/^";
for ($i = 0; $i < $columnCount; $i++) {
$regExp .= $enclosureChar.'?(.*?)'.$enclosureChar.'?'.$delimiterChar;
}
$regExp = substr($regExp,0,-$cutpoint).'/';
if (preg_match($regExp, $line, $matches)) {
return $matches;
}
return 0;
}
?>
=== If you were getting
[0] => "Ma"rk","Bergeron","rocks","12345,"times"
[1] => "
[2] => Ma"rk
[3] => "
..etc
You will now get
[0] => "Ma"rk","Bergeron","rocks","12345,"times"
[1] => Ma"rk
...etc

using the example above with a length of 1000 will truncate any csv rows longer than 1000 bytes, the remainder of that line will be represented next time you call $data = fgetcsv(). one solution i have seen to this is to use filesize("test.csv") as the length argument, however sometimes with large csv files you may encounter errors for exceeding the memory limit. to remedy this, i have read the csv file into an array, looping through that array to find the longest line in the csv, and then using that value as my length argument, unset($array) to free up the memory. im open to better solutions.
<?php
$length = 1000;
$array = file("test.csv");
for($i=0;$i<count($array);$i++)
{
if ($length < strlen($array[$i]))
{
$length = strlen($array[$i]);
}
}
unset($array);
$handle = fopen("test.csv", "r");
while ($data = fgetcsv($handle, $length, ","))
{
// do what you want with your array here.
}
fclose($handle);

A little contribution to make it more easy to use this function when working with a database. I noticed this function doesn't add logical keys to the array, so I made a small function which creates a 2dimensional array with the corresponding keys added to the rows.
<?php
// this function requires that the first line of your CSV file consists of the keys corresponding to the values of the other lines
function convertCSVtoAssocMArray($file, $delimiter)
{
$result = Array();
$size = filesize($file) +1;
$file = fopen($file, 'r');
$keys = fgetcsv($file, $size, $delimiter);
while ($row = fgetcsv($file, $size, $delimiter))
{
for($i = 0; $i < count($row); $i++)
{
if(array_key_exists($i, $keys))
{
$row[$keys[$i]] = $row[$i];
}
}
$result[] = $row;
}
fclose($file);
return $result;
}

Important note about the CSV format:
There should *not* be any space in between the fields. For example,
field1, field2, field3 [Wrong!]
field1,field2,field3 [Correct-No space between fields]
If you add space between the fields, MS Excel won't recognize the fields (especially date and multi-line text fields).

in php 4.2 you get just a warning but it is not able to read the csv file if you place an enclosure that is empty

If anyone else is taking on the task of converting from FileMaker Pro to MySQL, you might find this useful:
Here's a collection of simple functions that take a CSV file, re-formats the data and writes to a file with MySQL INSERTs.
ORIGINAL DATA:
"1", "foo", "2"
"3", "bar", "4"
OUTPUT
INSERT info mysql_table VALUES('', '1', 'foo', '2');
INSERT info mysql_table VALUES('', '3', 'bar', '4');
For simple data it works alright, but I could not find a way to escape the contents before assembling the INSERT statements - kept getting "bad argument for implode()"...
<?php
/*************************************
* main *
*************************************/
$file = "path/to/your/file.txt";
$tbl = "your_MySQL_table";
$CSVarray = get_csv($file);
$CSVarray = makeINSERTS($CSVarray, "$tbl");
$filetowrite = $_POST["file"]."_sql.txt";
$fp = fopen($filetowrite, "w");
while (list($key, $val) = @each($CSVarray)) {
fwrite($fp, $val);
}
fclose($fp);
chmod($filetowrite, 0777);
echo "File written Successfully";
}

You should pay attention to the fact that "fgetcsv" does remove leading TAB-chars "chr(9)" while reading the file.
This means if you have a chr(9) as the first char in the file and you use fgetcsv this char is automaticaly deleted.
Example:
file content:
chr(9)first#second#third#fourth
source:
<?php $line = fgetcsv($handle,500,"#"); ?>
The array $line looks like:
$line[0] = first
$line[1] = second
$line[2] = third
$line[3] = fourth
and not
$line[0] = chr(9)first
$line[1] = second
$line[2] = third
$line[3] = fourth
All chr(9) after another char is not deleted!
Example:
file content:
Achr(9)first#second#third#fourth
source:
<?php $line = fgetcsv($handle,500,"#"); ?>
The array $line looks like:
$line[0] = Achr(9)first
$line[1] = second
$line[2] = third
$line[3] = fourth

fgetcsv stops reading your file?
I had to write a script to validate and import a large amount of data to MySQL and it would stop running. I've noticed, after trawling the internet for a solution, quite a few people have had similar problems.
Solution? Like a dope I had forgotten to put in
set_time_limit()
within a loop. Otherwise the script would time out before it finished importing all the data.
Moral of the story? Only suppress errors after your script works with a large amount of test data!

This function takes a csv line and splits it into an array, much like fgetcsv does but you can use it on data that isn't coming in from a file, or you can read data from a file some other way (like if your Mac files aren't being read correctly) and use this to split it. If you have any corrections, comments (good or bad), etc. I would appreciate an email to the above address.
<?php
function csv_split($line,$delim=',',$removeQuotes=true) {
#$line: the csv line to be split
#$delim: the delimiter to split by
#$removeQuotes: if this is false, the quotation marks won't be removed from the fields
$fields = array();
$fldCount = 0;
$inQuotes = false;
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($line); $i++) {
if (!isset($fields[$fldCount])) $fields[$fldCount] = "";
$tmp = substr($line,$i,strlen($delim));
if ($tmp === $delim && !$inQuotes) {

Quoting csv is pretty simple, and there are two steps..I note in previous comments only the second step has been explained.
First fields with double quotes need to double up the quotes, ie _He said "Timmy"..._ should become _He said ""Timmy""..._
Secondly as mentioned above, fields with commas need double quotes.
Here is a simple function to achieve this, that I pass to array walk, if you want to use it somewhere else, prob get rid of reference and return the value.
<?php
function check_csv_field_ref(&$item) {
$item = str_replace('"', '""', $item);
if (strpos($item, ",") !== FALSE) {
$item = '"' . $item . '"';
