README

Turn your CSV files into readable and accessable Data Objects easily. This Library wraps the PHP's built-in fgetcsv function to provide you a hassle free CSV File parsing.

Each row on your CSV file is dynamically transformed into Data Objects with keys set directly from the first row of your CSV file.

PHP Version Support

The library has been tested to work on PHP Versions >=5.3.

How to Use

Run the following command in your terminal

composer require jamesgordo/php-csv-parser

Or simply add this to your composer.json

{
  "require": {
    "jamesgordo/php-csv-parser": "1.0.0"
  }
}

Then run

composer update

Create a Sample CSV File users.csv

id,first_name,last_name
1,John,Doe
2,Eric,Smith
3,Mark,Cooper

Example Implementation

<?php
// load vendor autoload
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use JamesGordo\CSV\Parser;

// Initalize the Parser
$users = new Parser('/path/to/users.csv');

// loop through each user and echo the details
foreach($users->all() as $user) {
	echo "User Details: {$user->id} | {$user->first_name} {$user->last_name}";
}

echo "Total Parsed: " . $users->count() . " Users";

Options

You can set the second as delimiter. The default delimiter is ",".

<?php
// load vendor autoload
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use JamesGordo\CSV\Parser;

// Initalize the Parser with custom delimiter
$users = new Parser('/path/to/users.csv', "|");

You can see the acceptable delimiters here

Below are the list of the public methods you will most likely use.

	$users = new Parser('/path/to/users.csv')	// Initializes the Parser
	$users->setCsv('/path/to/file.csv');		// Sets the File to be Parsed
	$users->getCsv();				// Returns the File to be Parsed
	$users->checkFile('/path/to/file.csv');		// Validates if File is a valid CSV File
	$users->parse();				// Triggers the Parsing of CSV file
	$users->all();					// Returns array of Data Objects parsed from the CSV file
	$users->count();				// Returns the total rows parsed from the CSV file
