note 115776 added to function.str-getcsv

I wanted the best of the 2 solutions by james at moss dot io and Jay Williams (csv_to_array()) - create associative array from a CSV file with a header row. <?php $array = array_map('str_getcsv', file('data.csv')); $header = array_shift($array); array_walk($array, '_combine_array', $header); function _combine_array(&$row, $key, $header) { $row = array_combine($header, $row); } ?> Then I thought why not try some benchmarking? I grabbed a sample CSV file with 50,000 rows (10 columns each) and Vulcan Logic Disassembler (VLD) which hooks into the Zend Engine and dumps all the opcodes (execution units) of a script - see http://pecl.php.net/package/vld and example here: http://fabien.potencier.org/article/8/print-vs-echo-which-one-is-faster Result: array_walk() and array_map() - 39 opcodes csv_to_array() - 69 opcodes ---- Server IP: 87.124.126.49 Probable Submitter: 81.108.40.42 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-getcsv.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115776 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115776/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115776/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115776/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115776/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115776/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115776/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115776 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115776 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
