Here is a function that will read in either an array or one single string that is delimited (and/or
has qualifiers) and return an array, segmenting out based on the delimiter.
This works great with Microsoft Excel spreadsheets -> export to CSV file -> use this function
to turn into an array (because explode(",",$array) does NOT work always).
<?php
function csv_explode($void, $delim = ",", $qual = "\"")
{
$final = array();
$string = "";
$bIsArray = false;
if ( is_array($void) )
{
$count = count($void);
$bIsArray = true;
}
else //string
$count = 1;
for ( $i = 0; $i < $count; $i++ )
{
if ( $bIsArray == true )
{
$string = $void[$i];
}
else
$string = $void;
$tstring = "";
$ccount = strlen($string);
//*loop through a line
for ( $k =0; $k < $ccount; $k++ )
{
//*delimeter
if ( $string[$k] == $delim )
{
$final[] = trim($tstring);
$tstring = "";
continue;
}
//*take care of qualifiers
if ( $string[$k] == $qual )
{
//*move us along until end qualifier
$k++;
do
{
if ( $string[$k] == $qual ) break;
$tstring .= $string[$k];
$k++;
} while ( $k < $ccount && $string[$k] != $qual );
$final[] = trim($tstring);
$tstring = "";
continue;
}
$tstring .= $string[$k]; // add a char
} // end inner for
} // end outer for
return $final;
}
?>
