If I have a CSV saved on a server, how can I use PHP to write a given line, say 142,fred,elephants
to the bottom of it?
If you want each split file to retain the headers of the original; this is the modified version of hakre's answer:
$inputFile = './users.csv'; // the source file to split
$outputFile = 'users_split'; // this will be appended with a number and .csv e.g. users_split1.csv
$splitSize = 10; // how many rows per split file you want
$in = fopen($inputFile, 'r');
$headers = fgets($in); // get the headers of the original file for insert into split files
// No need to touch below this line..
$rowCount = 0;
$fileCount = 1;
while (!feof($in)) {
if (($rowCount % $splitSize) == 0) {
if ($rowCount > 0) {
fclose($out);
}
$out = fopen($outputFile . $fileCount++ . '.csv', 'w');
fputcsv($out, explode(',', $headers));
}
$data = fgetcsv($in);
if ($data)
fputcsv($out, $data);
$rowCount++;
}
fclose($out);
