Can you query a CSV file?

[benphp]

Is there a way to do this - or do you have to use regular expressions to filter out results?

Well, you can 'query' a CSV file per se, but you can find it with regular expressions, or simply by going through each line.

 

$file = file('csv.txt');

foreach($file as $line){

list($id, $name, $addess) = explode(",", $line);

if($id == 123){

}

}

Thanks - I'll use that. Looks like it will boil down to regular expressions. I must get better at them.
