CVS files.

first of all...its good to see the site back .

 

my question guys is i'm wondering is there a way of getting the column number when reading a .cvs file?

ie. a, b, c, d, aa, ab etc?

$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen($file, "r")) !== FALSE) 
{
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) 
    {
        $num = count($data);
        echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
        $row++;
      
        for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) 
        {
            //echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
        }
    }
    
    fclose($handle);
}

now $num counts the columns...but i want to convert that into a alphabetical column...is there a easy solution?

 

thanks guys

for ($c=0, $a='a'; $c < $num; $c++, $a++) 

        {

            //echo "($a) " . $data[$c] . "<br />\n";

        }
