is there a way ?

[gos1]

is there a way of reading only the first parameter in every line of a csv file. I looked at al lthe functions but did not find any answer for my problem. I mean I want my code to read every lines value until the first ';'

Could do it something like this...
[code]<?php
$h = fopen("filename.csv","r");
while(($d = fgetcsv($h,1000,",")) !== FALSE) echo $d[0]."<br />";
fclose($h);
?>[/code]

i tried that. Thats like the script in the php.net. But need to take only the first vcalue in every line. I can echo all the linea but cannot take the first variables in them thats my problem.

[code]$file = file($filename);
foreach ($file as $line) {
  $line = explode(",", $line);
  echo $line[0] . "<br />";
}[/code]

well csv - comma seperated value - the code he gave was for comma - you asked for up to the first ;

sounds like a delimiter problem

The code hitman gave you will read each line one at a time and then break each line in to an array of items.  Just look at the first item in that array.  That's what echo $line[0]; does.

Sample CSV File

L1-Field1,L1-Field2,L1-Field3,L1-Field4,L1-Field5
L2-Field1,L2-Field2,L2-Field3,L2-Field4,L2-Field5
L3-Field1,L3-Field2,L3-Field3,L3-Field4,L3-Field5

If that is your CSV file, hitman's code will display
[quote]
L1-Field1
L2-Field1
L3-Field1
