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

Well, just count the number of items an entry has then make a loop inside a loop

// loop on all items; $i+=$ITEM_SIZE go to the next item each outer loop
// (10 elements for ITEM in Opening Post's case)

// this for loops between all items
for ($i=0;$i<=$ARRAY_LENGHT;$i+=10)
{
    // this for loops between each item's elements
    for($c=1; $c<=10;$c++)
    {
        switch($c)
        {
            case 1:
              $id = $array[$i+$c];
              break;

            case 2:
              $name = $array[$i+$c];
              break;

            case 3:
              $address = $array[$i+$c];
              break;

            //etc to 10th element:

            case 10:
              $other = $array[$i+$c];
              break;

        }
    }

    // When the item is all done use the item
    // it as you need, example:

    echo "id: {$id}\nname: {$name}\naddress: {$adress}"; //etc

    // then unset($id,$name,$address, $etc);
    // for the next iteration of loop (next item)
}

That is what I just did and works very well.
