note 71278 deleted from function.explode by colder

Note Submitter: sstaples at thestapler dot ca ---- I needed an explode funciton that would ignore commas inside a set of double quotes, in which I found that PHP ignores. So I wrote this litle fucntion that would do just that. I know that EXCEL places strings into " " fields, and numbers without, which really screwed things up. I hope this helps for those of you out there that may have actually thought that your CSV files worked, and may not actually work... until you find it too late! <?php function explodeWithString($delimiter, $line) { $line = trim($line); $lineLen = strlen($line); $arrayCntr = 0; $string = false; for($i = 0; $i < $lineLen; $i++) { if($line{$i} == '"' && $string == false) { $string = true; continue; } elseif($line{$i} == '"' && $string == true) { $string = false; continue; } elseif($line{$i} == $delimiter && $string == false) { $arrayCntr++; continue; } $array[$arrayCntr] .= $line{$i}; } return $array; } ?>
