Answer 1

I've built an application to extract data from a CSV file , this php application was used to show a daily quote for users.

The full project on github: 365-quotes-php-csv.

Also this is the class Code for the application i've built

  readCsvAndGetQuote($dayCount)){
                return $this->getQuote();
            }else{
                echo 'Error Cannot open the .CSV File';
            }
        }





    //Methods

    //get Instance
    public function getInstance(){
            if(!isset(self::$_instance)){
                self::$_instance = new Quote();
            }
            return self::$_instance;
        }//end of get Instance




    //get daily Quote   
    public function getQuote(){
            return $this->_quote;
        }//end of get Quote




    //Read CSV
    private function readCsvAndGetQuote($dayCount = 1 ){

        if(($handel = fopen("csv/all.csv" , "r")) !== false){
            $this->_allQuotes = fgetcsv($handel,1000000,';');
            $this->_quote = explode(',',$this->_allQuotes[$dayCount]);
            return true;
        }
        return false;

    }//end of read CSV



}//end of Class
