Question

Sorry, I’m a n00b to web languages. I’m trying to upload a CSV file, parse the second and seventh columns, and output it to the Google Graphs API. This is my first ever time trying to do anything with PHP, so, a example would be nice for me to analyze, but, I can try to figure out everything with documentation as well.

Thank you so much for help in any way.

Answer 1

here’s how you can upload a file with PHP: http://de3.php.net/move_uploaded_file
Parsing a CSV file is easy:

$csv = file('path/to/file.csv');
foreach ($csv as &$current) {
  $current = explode(';', $current);
}

If you then loop through $csv you have the second and seventh column in $csv[$iterator][1] and $csv[$iterator][6].

I haven’t used Googles Graph API, so I can’t help you with that.
