Question

I am converting csv file to an array using code bellow. But, problem is that end of the row is CR LF, and it is not detected, so array has wrong offset. CR LF is ignored and “cells” around it are merged.

How could i rewrite code to detect this row ending and split array correctly ? Or, is there better approach to convert csv to array?

There are some simmilar questions here but i have not found solution to this issue yet.

Thanks.

$fileName ='test.csv';   
$csvData = file_get_contents($fileName); 
$csvNumColumns = 11; 
$csvDelim = ";"; 
$data = array_chunk(str_getcsv($csvData, $csvDelim), $csvNumColumns); 

print_r($data);

Have you tried using fgetcsv()? full info on php.net.

Example usage from php.net

<?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);
}
?>
