I know this question has been asked before but my problem is different because I need to return the specific rows after a search.
Basically, this is the scenario:
I need to search a CSV file for a specific word/string in the name
column and then IF the word/string is found I need to get the row[4]
and row[5]
and print them in the PHP.
The CSV looks like this:
"id","ident","type","name","latitude_deg","longitude_deg","elevation_ft"
6523,"00A","heliport","Heliport",40.07080078125,-74.93360137939453,11,
So basically, I need to search by name
and if found, return the latitude_deg
,longitude_deg
.
This is what I have so far... However, this searches the ENTIRE CSV file which makes it slightly slower and it only returns whether the CSV file contains the string/word or not...
$search = "Heliport";
$lines = file('myCsv.csv');
$line_number = false;
while (list($key, $line) = each($lines) and !$line_number) {
$line_number = (strpos($line, $search) !== FALSE);
}
if($line_number){
echo "Results found for " .$search
} else {
echo "No results found for $search";
}
Could someone please advice on this issue? Thanks in advance.
fgetcsv
is a good tool for this, it reads a CSV line and breaks it into an array.
$search = 'Heliport';
if (($fp = fopen("myCsv.csv", "r")) !== false) {
while (($row = fgetcsv($fp)) !== false) {
if($row[3] === $search) {
echo 'Found ' . $row[3] . ': ' . $row[4] . ', ' . $row[5] . "
";
}
}
fclose($fp);
}
