Nelak Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 if u have lots of commas in the file it will count loads of entries. Use a character which is not used in your file and put it on the end of entry.[code]explode('CHARACTER HERE',file_get_contents('file.scv')));[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/35193-line-count-of-csv-file/#findComment-166229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Do you want to count the lines or the comma seperated values? If its just the lines use...[code]<?php $count = count(file('file.csv'));?>[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/35193-line-count-of-csv-file/#findComment-166253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyleyboy Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Cheers Thorpe. It seems one of the other version I had tried was adding commas to the end of the file and hence screwing it all up.
