Answer 1

if you're ok with writing down your columns as keys then this should work as you described:

$fromDateTime = new DateTime('Wed, Sep 19  2018 08:00:00');
$toDateTime = new DateTime('Wed, Sep 19  2018 19:59:00');
$file = file_get_contents('Reject.txt');
$lines = explode("\n", $file);

// counter
$rowsintimespan = 0;
// keys should correspond to columns
$keys = [
    'date',
    'time',
    'battery',
    'piezo',
    'leftD3',
    'rightD2'
];

$values = array_fill(0, count($keys), 0);
$values = array_combine($keys, $values);

// Do Line-By-Line starting by Line 16 (Array Index 15)
for ($i = 11; $i < count($lines); $i++) {
    // if the file is "Tue, Sep 18201823:59:53"
    $dateobj = DateTime::createFromFormat("???,?M?d??Y?H:i:s+", $lines[$i]);

    // check if date is in your Timespan
    if ($dateobj < $toDateTime && $dateobj > $fromDateTime) {
        $rowsintimespan++; // count if in timespan

        // get line elements
        $lineContent = explode("\t", $lines[$i]);

        // loop through line elements and count them
        $x = 0;
        for ($j = 0; $j < count($keys); $j++) {
            if (!isset($lineContent[$j])) {
                continue;
            }

            // remember position of last not empty column
            if (trim($lineContent[$j]) != '') {
                $x = $j;
            }
        }

        if ($x > 0) {
            $values[$keys[$x]]++;
        }
    }
}

// Debug-Output
echo $rowsintimespan;

// Output every column
echo '
';
print_r($values);


This will print out:

Array
(
    [date] => 0
    [time] => 0
    [battery] => 4
    [piezo] => 31
    [leftD3] => 17
    [rightD2] => 1
)
