How to use

Reading CSV file

Below is a typical example how to read csv file.

// Read and parse CSV file
$csv = CSV::factory('file.csv')
	->parse();

// Get titles
$titles = $csv->titles();

// Get rows data
$rows = $csv->rows();

// Loop each rows
foreach ($rows as $row)
{
	echo $row['name'];
}

You can also set custom delimiter, enclosure, etc in the config or directly in the code like example below

$csv = CSV::factory('file.csv', array(
		'delimiter'   => ';', // Use comma delimiter
		'has_titles'  => FALSE, // Assume csv does not has titles
	));

Writing CSV file

Below is a typical example how to write csv file.

// Save CSV file into file.csv
CSV::factory('file.csv')
	->titles(array('name', 'age'))
	->values(array('erick', '25'))
	->values(array('john', '32'))
	->save();

// or save it using rows() instead of values
CSV::factory('file.csv')
	->titles(array('name', 'age'))
	->rows(array(
		array('erick', '25'),
		array('john', 32'),
	))
	->save();
