Hello,

I'm trying to develop a bullet proof CSV function that can ignore commas that are found in individual field data when parsing through a regular CSV file.

Here's some of the code I'm trying right now:



$file = fopen( $file_name, "r" );
$cnt = 0;

while( !feof( $file ))
{
          $line = fgetcsv( $file, 4096 );
          $count = count( $line );

          if( is_array( $line ) && $count > 0 )
          {
                 for( $i = 0; $i < $count ; $i++ )
                 {
                          echo "<br>$line[$i] ";
                 }
        }
}

 fclose( $file );

Any help you can give would be awesome.

Thanks,
Clem

"I'm trying to develop a bullet proof CSV function that can ignore commas"

The comma-separated values (CSV) file format is a tabular data format that has fields separated by the comma character and quoted by the double quote character.

I've only seen CSV (I didn't know there was a name for it to be honnest) on excel document and some crap database -> text file.

So far I got: You are trying to create a system which will open a CSV?? but ignore the commas?

do you mean remove the commas from the file / string?
if thats the case check out: str_replace , replace "," by "" and job done..
