Read a file from line X to line Y?

I know this has been covered before, but all the answers I have found are related to the LOAD DATA INFILE method, which uses IGNORE 1 LINES to ignore the header, I have tried that with my code below but it just throw an error.

    <?php
    //database connect info here

    //check for file upload
    if(isset($_FILES['csv_file']) && is_uploaded_file($_FILES['csv_file']['tmp_name'])){

        //upload directory
        $upload_dir = "./csv";

        //create file name
        $file_path = $upload_dir . $_FILES['csv_file']['name'];

        //move uploaded file to upload dir
        if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['csv_file']['tmp_name'], $file_path)) {

            //error moving upload file
            echo "Error moving file upload";

        }

        //open the csv file for reading
        $handle = fopen($file_path, 'r');


        while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ',')) !== FALSE) {

            //Access field data in $data array ex.

        //delete csv file
        unlink($file_path);
    }
    ?>

Answer 1

Just skip one line manually by reading it from the file before the loop:

//open the csv file for reading
$handle = fopen($file_path, 'r');

// read the first line and ignore it
fgets($handle); 

while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ',')) !== FALSE) {
  // do your thing
}
