CSV to Associative Array

Question

I\'ve seen numerous examples on how to take a CSV file and then create an associative array with the headers as the keys.

For example:

Brand,Model,Pa

Here is a solutions that will work by specifying a local file or URL. You can also switch the association on and off. Hopefully this helps.

class CSVData{
    public $file;
    public $data;
    public $fp;
    public $caption=true;
    public function CSVData($file=''){
        if ($file!='') getData($file);
    }
    function getData($file){
        if (strpos($file, 'tp://')!==false){
            copy ($file, '/tmp/csvdata.csv');
            if ($this->fp=fopen('/tmp/csvdata.csv', 'r')!==FALSE){
                $this->readCSV();
                unlink('tmp/csvdata.csv');
            }
        } else {
            $this->fp=fopen($file, 'r');
            $this->readCSV();
        }
        fclose($this->fp);
    }
    private function readCSV(){
        if ($this->caption==true){
            if (($captions=fgetcsv($this->fp, 1000, ","))==false) return false;
        }
        $row=0;
        while (($data = fgetcsv($this->fp, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
            for ($c=0; $c < count($data); $c++) {
                $this->data[$row][$c]=$data[$c];
                if ($this->caption==true){
                    $this->data[$row][$captions[$c]]=$data[$c];
                }
            }
            $row++;
        }
    }
}

Try this usage:

$o=new CSVData();
$o->getData('/home/site/datafile.csv');
$data=$o->data;
print_r($data);
