CSV Handling Component for PHP

This project aims to deliver an easy to use and free as in freedom php compontent for dealing with csv files (read and write).

This component is heavily influenced by jwage/easy-csv. It was mainly created because of missing compatibility with php 5.6 and no official packagist support from jwage/easy-csv.

The build status of the current master branch is tracked by Travis CI:

Benefits

• low and stable memory usage (give it a try by using benchmarkReader and benchmarkWriter)
• works with PHP 5.6 and above
• __invoke() implemented to use it as function
• unified reader and writer
• adapter to easy up migration from EasyCsv - 0.0.1 to this component
  • writer
  • reader
• usage of filters - control what comes in and what comes out
• reader
  • implemented iterator
  • readOne();
  • readMany();
  • readAll();
• writer
  • copy();
  • delete();
  • move();
  • truncate();
  • writeOne();
  • writeMany();
  • writeAll(); //truncates file and writes content

Install

By Hand

mkdir -p vendor/net_bazzline/php_component_csv
cd vendor/net_bazzline/php_component_csv
git clone https://github.com/bazzline/php_component_csv .

Usage

Reader

Read Content

$reader = new Reader('my/file.csv');
//I am using json_encode() since there is no official and best way how to
// output arrays on the command line.

//read one line
echo json_encode($reader->readOne()) . PHP_EOL;

//read 10 lines
foreach ($reader->readMany(10) as $line) {
    echo json_encode($line) . PHP_EOL;
}

//read all lines
foreach ($reader->readAll() as $line) {
    echo json_encode($line) . PHP_EOL;
}

By Iteration

$reader = new Reader('my/file.csv');
//I am using json_encode() since there is no official and best way how to
// output arrays on the command line.

if ($reader->hasHeadline()) {
    echo 'headlines: ' . json_encode($reader->readHeadline());
}

foreach ($reader as $line) {
    echo json_encode($line) . PHP_EOL;
}

By Using As A Function

$reader = new Reader('my/file.csv');
//I am using json_encode() since there is no official and best way how to
// output arrays on the command line.

while ($line = $reader()) {
    echo json_encode($line) . PHP_EOL;
}

Writer

Write Content

By Iteration

//$headlines contains a php array
//$lines contains a php array of arrays
$writer = new Writer('my/file.csv');

$writer->writeHeadline($headlines);

foreach ($lines as $line) {
    $writer->writeOne($line);
}

At Once

//$headlines contains a php array
//$lines contains a php array of arrays
$writer = new Writer('my/file.csv');

$writer->writeHeadline($headlines);
$writer->writeMany($lines);

By Using As A Function

//$line contains a php array
//$lines contains a php array of arrays
$writer = new Writer('my/file.csv');

$writer($line);

foreach ($lines as $line) {
    $writer($line);
}

Truncate

$writer = new Writer('my/file.csv');

$writer->truncate();

Copy

$writer = new Writer('my/file.csv');

$writer->copy('my/my_first_copy.csv');    //writer will still write into "file.csv"

$writer->copy('my/my_second_copy.csv', true);    //writer will write in "my_second_copy.csv"

Move

$writer = new Writer('my/file.csv');

$writer->move('my/new_name.csv');   //writer will write in "new_name.csv"
