array help

[nick5449]

I have a .csv file (comma separated value) that I want to open, and store in array.  I'm not sure how many values will be in the file.  Heres the code I have so far but im not sure if it will work.
[code]  $fp = fopen("quickMessage.csv", "a");
$x = 0;
$msgArray = array();
while($x != count($msgarray)) {
$msgArray($x) = fgets($fp, 300);
$x++;
}
print_r($msgArray);[/code]

Will this work? Thanks

[code=php:0]//php version has to be PHP5 or greater
$file=file_get_contents("quickMessage.csv");
$arr_file=str_split($file,300);
print_r($arr_file);[/code]

Orio.

Im getting the error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: str_split()
with that code.  Also, does that function just separate the values into the array $arr_file? Thanks

[code]  $fp = fopen("quickMessage.csv", "a");
$x = 0;
$msgArray = array();
while($x != count($msgarray)) {
$msgArray[$x] = fgets($fp, 300);
$x++;
}
print_r($msgArray);[/code]

Try that.

[code]<?php
$msg_array = file('quickMessage.csv');

That's because you have PHP<5...
Add this to my code:
[code=php:0]if(!function_exists('str_split')){
  function str_split($string,$split_length=1){
      $count = strlen($string); 
      if($split_length < 1){
          return false; 
      } elseif($split_length > $count){
          return array($string);
      } else {
          $num = (int)ceil($count/$split_length); 
          $ret = array(); 
          for($i=0;$i<$num;$i++){ 
              $ret[] = substr($string,$i*$split_length,$split_length); 
          } 
          return $ret;
      }     
  } 
};[/code]

And this should resolve you probs :)

@Barand- he wants to split the array into chuncks of 300 chars, so that wont work.

Orio.

He never said he wants it in 300 byte chunks, you just assumed that because he is only reading in 300 bytes into his array element.. :P

@Orio,

[quote=php manual]
fgets
(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

fgets -- Gets line from file pointer
Description
string fgets ( resource handle [, int length] )


Returns a string of up to length - 1 bytes read from the file pointed to by handle. Reading ends when length - 1 bytes have been read, on a newline (which is included in the return value), or on EOF (whichever comes first). If no length is specified, the length defaults to 1k, or 1024 bytes.
