Question

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);
}
