PHP dynamically create CSV: Skip the first line of a CSV file

Question

I am trying to import a CSV file. Due to the program we use, the first row is basically all headers that I would like to skip since I\'ve already put my own headers in via

Answer 1

Please use the following lines of code

$flag = true;
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
if($flag) { $flag = false; continue; }
//your code for insert
}

Having the flag variable as true and setting it to false will skip the first line of the CSV file. This is simple and easy to implement.

Answer 2

this worked for me:

$count = 0;

while(! feof($file))

      {

          $entry = fgetcsv($file, 0, ';');

          if ($count > 0) {
          //skip first line, header


          }

      $count++;
}
