Question

How do I import CSV files using zend framework? Should I use zend_file_transfer or is there any special class that I have to look into? Also if I use zend_file_transfer is there any special validator for CSV?

Answer 1

you don’t have to use any zend libraries to import csv files, you can just use native php functions, take a look at fgetcsv

$row = 1;
if (($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);
}
