Read CSV Headers

[Hooker]

Hello,

 

I'm sure this is a fairly easy problem to solve but i can't seem to find alot of information on it, is there anyway to read the column headers (and just the headers) in a CSV file? i'm writing an automised system that requires a person to identify which headers are which but the csv files are millions of rows and reading the entire file isn't practical.

 

If anyone could help me i'd really appreciate it.

 

Thanks

If the headers are just the first, comma separated, can't you just do:

 

do { $headers = explode(',', fgets($fp = fopen('file.csv', 'r')); } while(count($headers) < 2 && !feof($fp));
fclose($fp);

function utrim(&$v){
$v=trim($v);
}

array_walk($headers, utrim);
