Basic usage

<?php

use Popy\Csv\Reader\SplFileInfoReader;

$file = new SplFileInfo('/path/to/file.csv');
$reader = new SplFileInfoReader($file);

foreach ($reader as $key => $value) {
  // ...
}

Dealing with Microsoft encodings ?

<?php
use Popy\Csv\Reader\CharsetConverterReader;

$rawReader = ...; // Initialize any reader you want (SplFileInfoReader for instance)
$reader = new CharsetConverterReader($rawReader, 'Windows-1252', 'UTF-8');

foreach ($reader as $key => $value) {
  // ...
}

Want named columns ?

Fixed column headers

<?php
use Popy\Csv\Reader\NamedColumnReader;

$rawReader = ...; // Initialize any reader you want (SplFileInfoReader for instance)
$reader = new NamedColumnReader($rawReader, array('col1', 'col2'));

foreach ($reader as $key => $value) {
  // ...
}

Alternative : Use first row as column names

<?php
use Popy\Csv\Reader\AutoNamedColumnReader;

$rawReader = ...; // Initialize any reader you want (SplFileInfoReader for instance)
$reader = new AutoNamedColumnReader($rawReader);

foreach ($reader as $key => $value) {
  // ...
}
