FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package php-parsecsv
ParseCsv
ParseCsv is an easy-to-use PHP class that reads and writes CSV data properly. It fully conforms to the specifications outlined on the on the Wikipedia article (and thus RFC 4180). It has many advanced features which help make your life easier when dealing with CSV data.
You may not need a library at all: before using ParseCsv, please make sure if PHP's own str_getcsv(), fgetcsv() or fputcsv() meets your needs.
This library was originally created in early 2007 by jimeh due to the lack of built-in and third-party support for handling CSV data in PHP.
Features
- ParseCsv is a complete and fully featured CSV solution for PHP
- Supports enclosed values, enclosed commas, double quotes and new lines.
- Automatic delimiter character detection.
- Sort data by specific fields/columns.
- Easy data manipulation.
- Basic SQL-like conditions, offset and limit options for filtering data.
- Error detection for incorrectly formatted input. It attempts to be intelligent, but can not be trusted 100% due to the structure of CSV, and how different programs like Excel for example outputs CSV data.
- Support for character encoding conversion using PHP's
iconv()andmb_convert_encoding()functions. - Supports PHP 5.5 and higher. It certainly works with PHP 7.2 and all versions in between.
Installation
Installation is easy using Composer. Just run the following on the command line:
If you don't use a framework such as Drupal, Laravel, Symfony, Yii etc., you may have to manually include Composer's autoloader file in your PHP script:
Without composer
Not recommended, but technically possible: you can also clone the
repository or extract the
ZIP.
To use ParseCSV, you then have to add a require 'parsecsv.lib.php'; line.
Example Usage
Parse a tab-delimited CSV file with encoding conversion
Auto-detect field delimiter character
Parse data with offset
- ignoring the first X (e.g. two) rows
Limit the number of returned data rows
Get total number of data rows without parsing whole data
- Excluding heading line if present (see $csv->header property)
Get most common data type for each column
Modify data in a CSV file
Change data values:
Enclose each data value by quotes:
Replace field names or set ones if missing
Add row/entry to end of CSV file
Only recommended when you know the exact structure of the file.
Convert 2D array to CSV data and send headers to browser to treat output as a file and download it
Your web app users would call this an export.
For more complex examples, see the tests and examples directories.
