php str_getcsv array issue

Question

I am uploading a csv file and then parsing it using str_getcsv. All works great except that I need a way to cycle through them. Ideally, it\'d be great to have the array com

Answer 1

str_getcsv() expects the string passed as parameter to be one record.
But since your source is a file anyway the easiest way is probably to use fgetcsv() instead of str_getcsv()

$data = array();
$fp = fopen($targetFile, 'rb');
while(!feof($fp)) {
    $data[] = fgetcsv($fp);
}
fclose($fp);

self-contained example:

prints

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  array(10) {
    [0]=>
    string(1) "1"
    [1]=>
    string(4) "name"
    [2]=>
    string(7) "address"
    [3]=>
    string(4) "town"
    [4]=>
    string(5) "state"
    [5]=>
    string(3) "zip"
    [6]=>
    string(5) "phone"
    [7]=>
    string(7) "website"
    [8]=>
    string(5) "other"
    [9]=>
