Question

$file_handle = fopen("ticker.csv", "r");  while (!feof($file_handle) ) {

  $line_of_text = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024);

  print '<div class="ticker_price">'. $line_of_text[7] . "</div>";
                                                                                                       }
fclose($file_handle);

How can I read a limited number of lines from the column 7 inside the .csv file

Answer 1

A small change to your code should read a maximum of five lines:

$maxLines = 5;
$file_handle = fopen("ticker.csv", "r");

for ($i = 0; $i < $maxLines && !feof($file_handle); $i++)
{
    $line_of_text = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024);
    print '<div class="ticker_price">'. $line_of_text[7] . "</div>";
}
fclose($file_handle);
