PHP Find String in CSV file

Question

I\'ve got a large flat file of usernames and emails in the following format:

\"username\", \"email\"
\"username\", \"email\"
\"username\", \"email\"
<         


        

Answer 1

I think the easiest solution is to use file() with str_getcsv().

The code would be something like this:

foreach (file($fileName, FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES) as $line) {
    $columns = str_getcsv($line); // Where $columns[0] and $columns[1] hold the username and email respectively.
}
