PHP CSV Select

[nickf1195]

Hey everyone,

I have a problem here that I can't seem to figure out (that would explain why i'm posting here  ).

 

I have this code:

 

<?php

function select_csv($file,$delimiter,$field,$query)
{
$data_array = file($file);
for ( $i = 0; $i < count($data_array); $i++ )
{
  $parts_array[$i] = explode($delimiter,$data_array[$i]);
  if(trim(strtolower($parts_array[$i][$field])) == trim(strtolower($query)))
  {
   $result_array[] = $parts_array[$i];
  }
}
return $result_array;
}
echo '<p>';  

$data = select_csv('data.csv','|','0','demo-query');
for ( $i = 0; $i < count($data); $i++ )
{
for ( $u = 0; $u < count($data[$i]); $u++ )
{
  echo $data[$i][$u].' ';
}
echo '<br>';  
}

?>

 

I have a csv file with two columns. This script accepts a query and displays every record whose first column is equal to that query (demo-query above.)

 

I'd like it to just return the content of the second column. I've been trying for hours and can't seem to figure this one out.

 

Any level of help is greatly appreciated.

Do you know what part of the code is the problem?

Have you checked that the result from file() is what you want, and that

$parts_array[$i] = explode($delimiter,$data_array[$i]);

is doing what you expect it to?

So $parts_array is the result of explode, so each item in that array is both fields for every record?

 

Help.  :-\

 

Thanks,
