Question

I have data in a CSV file. I need to read the file and put the data into an array. I have 5 columns in my CSV file, like this:

CAPRICCIOSA | Tomato, Cheese, Mushrooms | $8.00 | $12.00 | $15.00

MARGHERITA  | Tomato, Cheese, Oregano   | $7.00 | $11.00 | $13.00

1. How can Iexplode() it into array? If I use a comma to explode it into array, it will become CAPRICCIOA - Tomato - Cheese because my text already has a comma.

2. How can I split it into different rows, like MySQL so I can loop through the results?

I have tried the following:

 $file="dish.csv" ;
 $file=file_get_contents($file);
 $array=explode(",", $file);

How about using PHP function : fgetcsv()
