Question

I have a CSV file which the code below uses to put the contents of the CSV into a multidimensional array.

<?php

$val = $_GET['articleid'];
//URL Pass STring

$arrCSV = array();
// Open the CSV
if (($handle = fopen("../articles/artlist.csv", "r")) !==FALSE) {                         
// Set the parent array key to 0
$key = 0;
// While there is data available loop through unlimited times (0) using separator (,)
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 0, ",")) !==FALSE) {
   // Count the total keys in each row
   $c = count($data);
   //Populate the array
   for ($x=0;$x<$c;$x++) {
   $arrCSV[$key][$x] = $data[$x];
   }
   $key++;
} // end while
// Close the CSV file
fclose($handle);
} // end if

?>

My first part is to output the entire array.

I think this code below is wrong 🙁

  <?php       
        for ( $row = 1; $row <$arrCSV; $row++ )
            {
        echo ''.$arrCSV[$row]['6'].'';  
            }
    ?>

Then I would like it ONLY to output one of the columns [*] [6].

I think I should get here fist before I try the rest.

Any guidance would help.

I am trying to learn, so far I have got this far.

Thank you

Does this not work?:

<?php
$val = $_GET['articleid'];
//URL Pass STring

$arrCSV = array();
// Open the CSV
if (($handle = fopen("../articles/artlist.csv", "r")) !==FALSE) {                         

// While there is data available loop through unlimited times (0) using separator (,)
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 0, ",")) !==FALSE) {
   $arrCSV[] = $data;
} // end while
// Close the CSV file
fclose($handle);
} // end if

?>
