str_getcsv

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

str_getcsv Выполняет разбор CSV-строки в массив

Описание

str_getcsv(
    string $string,
    string $separator = ",",
    string $enclosure = "\"",
    string $escape = "\\"
): array

Данная функция выполняет разбор строки в формате CSV и возвращает массив с полученными из строки полями.

Замечание:

Эта функция принимает во внимание настройки локали. К примеру, если LC_CTYPE установлена в en_US.UTF-8, то строки в однобайтовой кодировке будут неправильно прочитаны этой функцией.

Список параметров

string

Обрабатываемая строка.

separator

Устанавливает разделитель поля (только один однобайтовый символ).

enclosure

Устанавливает символ ограничителя поля (только один однобайтовый символ).

escape

Устанавливает экранирующий символ (не более одного однобайтового символа). По умолчанию равен обратному слешу (\). Пустая строка ("") отключает проприетарный механизм экранирования.

Замечание: Обычно символ enclosure экранируется внутри поля путём его удваивания; однако, символ escape в качестве альтернативы. Поэтому значения по умолчанию этих параметров "" и \" имеют одинаковое значение. Помимо разрешения экранировать символ enclosure символ escape не имеет особого смысла; он даже не предназначен для самого экранирования.

Возвращаемые значения

Возвращает индексированный массив, содержащий полученные из строки поля.

Список изменений

Версия Описание
7.4.0 Теперь пустой параметр escape будет интерпретироваться как требование отключения проприетарного механизма экранирования. Ранее пустая строка обозначала использование символа экранирования по умолчанию.

Примеры

Пример #1 Пример использования str_getcsv()

<?php

$string
= 'PHP,Java,Python,Kotlin,Swift';
$data = str_getcsv($string);

var_dump($data);
?>

Результат выполнения приведённого примера:

array(5) {
  [0]=>
  string(3) "PHP"
  [1]=>
  string(4) "Java"
  [2]=>
  string(6) "Python"
  [3]=>
  string(6) "Kotlin"
  [4]=>
  string(5) "Swift"
}

Пример #2 Пример использования str_getcsv() с пустой строкой

Предостережение

При использовании пустой строки функция возвращает значение [null] вместо пустого массива.

<?php

$string
= '';
$data = str_getcsv($string);

var_dump($data);
?>

Результат выполнения приведённого примера:

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  NULL
}

[Editor's Note (cmb): that does not produce the desired results, if fields contain linebreaks.]

Handy one liner to parse a CSV file into an array

<?php

$csv
= array_map('str_getcsv', file('data.csv'));

Based on James' line, this will create an array of associative arrays with the first row column headers as the keys.

<?php
    $csv
= array_map('str_getcsv', file($file));
   
array_walk($csv, function(&$a) use ($csv) {
     
$a = array_combine($csv[0], $a);
    });
   
array_shift($csv); # remove column header
?>

This will yield something like
    [2] => Array
        (
            [Campaign ID] => 295095038
            [Ad group ID] => 22460178158
            [Keyword ID] => 3993587178

As the str_getcsv(), unlike to fgetcsv(), does not parse the rows in CSV string, I have found following easy workaround:

<?php
$Data
= str_getcsv($CsvString, "\n"); //parse the rows
foreach($Data as &$Row) $Row = str_getcsv($Row, ";"); //parse the items in rows
?>

Why not use explode() instead of str_getcsv() to parse rows? Because explode() would not treat possible enclosured parts of string or escaped characters correctly.

Here is a quick and easy way to convert a CSV file to an associated array:

<?php
/**
* @link http://gist.github.com/385876
*/
function csv_to_array($filename='', $delimiter=',')
{
    if(!
file_exists($filename) || !is_readable($filename))
        return
FALSE;

   
$header = NULL;
   
$data = array();
    if ((
$handle = fopen($filename, 'r')) !== FALSE)
    {
        while ((
$row = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, $delimiter)) !== FALSE)
        {
            if(!
$header)
               
$header = $row;
            else
               
$data[] = array_combine($header, $row);
        }
       
fclose($handle);
    }
    return
$data;
}

I wanted the best of the 2 solutions by james at moss dot io and Jay Williams (csv_to_array()) - create associative array from a CSV file with a header row.

<?php

$array
= array_map('str_getcsv', file('data.csv'));

$header = array_shift($array);

array_walk($array, '_combine_array', $header);

function
_combine_array(&$row, $key, $header) {
 
$row = array_combine($header, $row);
}

?>

Then I thought why not try some benchmarking? I grabbed a sample CSV file with 50,000 rows (10 columns each) and Vulcan Logic Disassembler (VLD) which hooks into the Zend Engine and dumps all the opcodes (execution units) of a script - see http://pecl.php.net/package/vld and example here: http://fabien.potencier.org/article/8/print-vs-echo-which-one-is-faster

Result:

array_walk() and array_map() - 39 opcodes
csv_to_array() - 69 opcodes

PHP is failing when parsing UTF-8 with Byte Order Mark. Strip it with this one from string before passing it to csv parser:

<?php
        $bom
= pack('CCC', 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF);
        if (
strncmp($yourString, $bom, 3) === 0) {
           
$body = substr($yourString, 3);
        }
?>

Like some other users here noted, str_getcsv() cannot be used if you want to comply with either the RFC or with most spreadsheet tools like Excel or Google Docs.

These tools do not escape commas or new lines, but instead place double-quotes (") around the field. If there are any double-quotes in the field, these are escaped with another double-quote (" becomes ""). All this may look odd, but it is what the RFC and most tools do ...

For instance, try exporting as .csv a Google Docs spreadsheet (File > Download as > .csv) which has new lines and commas as part of the field values and see how the .csv content looks, then try to parse it using str_getcsv() ... it will spectacularly regardless of the arguments you pass to it.

Here is a function that can handle everything correctly, and more:

- doesn't use any for or while loops,
- it allows for any separator (any string of any length),
- option to skip empty lines,
- option to trim fields,
- can handle UTF8 data too (although .csv files are likely non-unicode).

Here is the more human readable version of the function:

<?php

// returns a two-dimensional array or rows and fields

function parse_csv ($csv_string, $delimiter = ",", $skip_empty_lines = true, $trim_fields = true)
{
   
$enc = preg_replace('/(?<!")""/', '!!Q!!', $csv_string);
   
$enc = preg_replace_callback(
       
'/"(.*?)"/s',
        function (
$field) {
            return
urlencode(utf8_encode($field[1]));
        },
       
$enc
   
);
   
$lines = preg_split($skip_empty_lines ? ($trim_fields ? '/( *\R)+/s' : '/\R+/s') : '/\R/s', $enc);
    return
array_map(
        function (
$line) use ($delimiter, $trim_fields) {
           
$fields = $trim_fields ? array_map('trim', explode($delimiter, $line)) : explode($delimiter, $line);
            return
array_map(
                function (
$field) {
                    return
str_replace('!!Q!!', '"', utf8_decode(urldecode($field)));
                },
               
$fields
           
);
        },
       
$lines
   
);
}

?>

Since this is not using any loops, you can actually write it as a one-line statement (one-liner).

Here's the function using just one line of code for the function body, formatted nicely though:

<?php

// returns the same two-dimensional array as above, but with a one-liner code

function parse_csv ($csv_string, $delimiter = ",", $skip_empty_lines = true, $trim_fields = true)
{
    return
array_map(
        function (
$line) use ($delimiter, $trim_fields) {
            return
array_map(
                function (
$field) {
                    return
str_replace('!!Q!!', '"', utf8_decode(urldecode($field)));
                },
               
$trim_fields ? array_map('trim', explode($delimiter, $line)) : explode($delimiter, $line)
            );
        },
       
preg_split(
           
$skip_empty_lines ? ($trim_fields ? '/( *\R)+/s' : '/\R+/s') : '/\R/s',
           
preg_replace_callback(
               
'/"(.*?)"/s',
                function (
$field) {
                    return
urlencode(utf8_encode($field[1]));
                },
               
$enc = preg_replace('/(?<!")""/', '!!Q!!', $csv_string)
            )
        )
    );
}

?>

Replace !!Q!! with another placeholder if you wish.

Have fun.

@normadize - that is a nice start, but it fails on situations where a field is empty but quoted (returning a string with one double quote instead of an empty string) and cases like """""foo""""" that should result in ""foo"" but instead return "foo". I also get a row with 1 empty field at the end because of the final CRLF in the CSV. Plus, I don't really like the !!Q!! magic or urlencoding to get around things. Also, \R doesn't work in pcre on any of my php installations.

Here is my take on this, without anonymous functions (so it works on PHP < 5.3), and without your options (because I believe the only correct way to parse according to the RFC would be $skip_empty_lines = false and $trim_fields = false).

//parse a CSV file into a two-dimensional array
//this seems as simple as splitting a string by lines and commas, but this only works if tricks are performed
//to ensure that you do NOT split on lines and commas that are inside of double quotes.
function parse_csv($str)
{
    //match all the non-quoted text and one series of quoted text (or the end of the string)
    //each group of matches will be parsed with the callback, with $matches[1] containing all the non-quoted text,
    //and $matches[3] containing everything inside the quotes
    $str = preg_replace_callback('/([^"]*)("((""|[^"])*)"|$)/s', 'parse_csv_quotes', $str);

    //remove the very last newline to prevent a 0-field array for the last line
    $str = preg_replace('/\n$/', '', $str);

    //split on LF and parse each line with a callback
    return array_map('parse_csv_line', explode("\n", $str));
}

//replace all the csv-special characters inside double quotes with markers using an escape sequence
function parse_csv_quotes($matches)
{
    //anything inside the quotes that might be used to split the string into lines and fields later,
    //needs to be quoted. The only character we can guarantee as safe to use, because it will never appear in the unquoted text, is a CR
    //So we're going to use CR as a marker to make escape sequences for CR, LF, Quotes, and Commas.
    $str = str_replace("\r", "\rR", $matches[3]);
    $str = str_replace("\n", "\rN", $str);
    $str = str_replace('""', "\rQ", $str);
    $str = str_replace(',', "\rC", $str);

    //The unquoted text is where commas and newlines are allowed, and where the splits will happen
    //We're going to remove all CRs from the unquoted text, by normalizing all line endings to just LF
    //This ensures us that the only place CR is used, is as the escape sequences for quoted text
    return preg_replace('/\r\n?/', "\n", $matches[1]) . $str;
}

//split on comma and parse each field with a callback
function parse_csv_line($line)
{
    return array_map('parse_csv_field', explode(',', $line));
}

//restore any csv-special characters that are part of the data
function parse_csv_field($field) {
    $field = str_replace("\rC", ',', $field);
    $field = str_replace("\rQ", '"', $field);
    $field = str_replace("\rN", "\n", $field);
    $field = str_replace("\rR", "\r", $field);
    return $field;

I found myself wanting to parse a CSV and didn't have access to str_getcsv, so I wrote substitute for PHP < 5.3, hope it helps someone out there stuck in the same situation.

After using several methods in the past to create CSV strings without using files (disk IO sucks), I finally decided it's time to write a function to handle it all. This function could use some cleanup, and the variable type test might be overkill for what is needed, I haven't thought about it too much.

Also, I took the liberty of replacing fields with certain data types with strings which I find much easier to work with. Some of you may not agree with those. Also, please note that the type "double" or float has been coded specifically for two digit precision because if I am using a float, it's most likely for currency.

I am sure some of you out there would appreciate this function.

<?php
   
function str_putcsv($array, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"', $terminator = "\n") {
       
# First convert associative array to numeric indexed array
       
foreach ($array as $key => $value) $workArray[] = $value;

       
$returnString = '';                 # Initialize return string
       
$arraySize = count($workArray);     # Get size of array
       
       
for ($i=0; $i<$arraySize; $i++) {
           
# Nested array, process nest item
           
if (is_array($workArray[$i])) {
               
$returnString .= str_putcsv($workArray[$i], $delimiter, $enclosure, $terminator);
            } else {
                switch (
gettype($workArray[$i])) {
                   
# Manually set some strings
                   
case "NULL":     $_spFormat = ''; break;
                    case
"boolean"$_spFormat = ($workArray[$i] == true) ? 'true': 'false'; break;
                   
# Make sure sprintf has a good datatype to work with
                   
case "integer"$_spFormat = '%i'; break;

Don't have this? Ask fgetcsv() to do it for you.

5.1.0+

<?php
if (!function_exists('str_getcsv')) {
    function
str_getcsv($input, $delimiter = ",", $enclosure = '"', $escape = "\\") {
       
$fiveMBs = 5 * 1024 * 1024;
       
$fp = fopen("php://temp/maxmemory:$fiveMBs", 'r+');
       
fputs($fp, $input);
       
rewind($fp);

       
$data = fgetcsv($fp, 1000, $delimiter, $enclosure); //  $escape only got added in 5.3.0

       
fclose($fp);
        return
$data;

RFC 4180 which deals with CSVs states the escape character is supposed to be a double quotation mark: (page 2)
   7.  If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote
       appearing inside a field must be escaped by preceding it with
       another double quote.  For example:

       "aaa","b""bb","ccc"

For those who need this function but not yet installed in their environment, you can use my function bellow.

You can parse your csv file into an associative array (by default) for each lines, or into an object.
<?php
function parse_csv($file, $options = null) {
   
$delimiter = empty($options['delimiter']) ? "," : $options['delimiter'];
   
$to_object = empty($options['to_object']) ? false : true;
   
$str = file_get_contents($file);
   
$lines = explode("\n", $str);
   
pr($lines);
   
$field_names = explode($delimiter, array_shift($lines));
    foreach (
$lines as $line) {
       
// Skip the empty line
       
if (empty($line)) continue;
       
$fields = explode($delimiter, $line);
       
$_res = $to_object ? new stdClass : array();
        foreach (
$field_names as $key => $f) {
            if (
$to_object) {
               
$_res->{$f} = $fields[$key];
            } else {
               
$_res[$f] = $fields[$key];
            }
        }
       
$res[] = $_res;
    }
    return
$res;
}
?>

NOTE:
Line number 1 of the csv file will be considered as header (field names).

- Enclosure handling
- Escape character handling
- Other features/enhancements as you need

Drawing inspiration from daniel dot oconnor at gmail dot com, here's an alternative str_putcsv() that leverages existing PHP core functionality (5.1.0+) to avoid re-inventing the wheel.

<?php
if(!function_exists('str_putcsv')) {
    function
str_putcsv($input, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"') {
       
// Open a memory "file" for read/write...
       
$fp = fopen('php://temp', 'r+');
       
// ... write the $input array to the "file" using fputcsv()...
       
fputcsv($fp, $input, $delimiter, $enclosure);
       
// ... rewind the "file" so we can read what we just wrote...
       
rewind($fp);
       
// ... read the entire line into a variable...
       
$data = fgets($fp);
       
// ... close the "file"...
       
fclose($fp);
       
// ... and return the $data to the caller, with the trailing newline from fgets() removed.
       
return rtrim( $data, "\n" );
    }
}

Imagine a situation where you need a function that works with both URL and comma delimited text.

This is exactly the function that works like that using str_getcsv(). Just simply insert a CSV URL or comma separated text and it work nicely.

<?php
function parse_csv( $filename_or_text, $delimiter=',', $enclosure='"', $linebreak="\n" )
{
   
$return = array();
   
    if(
false !== ($csv = (filter_var($filename_or_text, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL) ? file_get_contents($filename_or_text) : $filename_or_text)))
    {
       
$csv = trim($csv);
       
$csv = mb_convert_encoding($csv, 'UTF-16LE');  
       
        foreach(
str_getcsv($csv, $linebreak, $enclosure) as $row){
           
$col = str_getcsv($row, $delimiter, $enclosure);
           
$col = array_map('trim', $col);
           
$return[] = $col;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        throw new \
Exception('Can not open the file.');
       
$return = false;
    }
   
    return
$return;
}
?>

Note that the function does NOT remove the escaping characters. If you do

<?php
str_getcsv
('"abc\"abc"')
?>

you'll get an array with a string(8) "abc\"abc", the \ will stay.

I prepared some better function for parsing CSV string.

function csv_to_array($string='', $row_delimiter=PHP_EOL, $delimiter = "," , $enclosure = '"' , $escape = "\\" )
{
    $rows = array_filter(explode($row_delimiter, $string));
    $header = NULL;
    $data = array();

    foreach($rows as $row)
    {
        $row = str_getcsv ($row, $delimiter, $enclosure , $escape);

        if(!$header)
            $header = $row;
        else
            $data[] = array_combine($header, $row);
    }

    return $data;

str_getcsv can be really fussy about trailing spaces - it will not necessarily recognise a final element in a quote delimited set of strings with a space following the final string for example. Using trim() before str_getcsv() quickly fixes this.

Note that this function can also be used to parse other types of constructions. For example, I have used to parse .htaccess AddDescription lines:

    AddDescription "My description to the file." filename.jpg

Those lines can be parsed like this:

<?php

$line
= 'AddDescription "My description to the file." filename.jpg';

$parsed = str_getcsv(
   
$line, # Input line
   
' ',   # Delimiter
   
'"',   # Enclosure
   
'\\'   # Escape char
);

var_dump( $parsed );

?>

The output:

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(14) "AddDescription"
  [1]=>
  string(27) "My description to the file."
  [2]=>
  string(12) "filename.jpg"
}

For some reason o'connor's code only reads one line of a csv for me... I had to replace the line

      $data = fgetcsv($fp, 1000, $delimiter, $enclosure); //  $escape only got added in 5.3.0

with this:

      $data;
      while (!feof($fp))
      {
        $data[] = fgetcsv($fp, 0, $delimiter, $enclosure); //  $escape only got added in 5.3.0
      }

...to get all of the data out of my string (some post data pasted into a textbox and processed only with stripslashes).

If your happy enough having just a multi-dimensional array, this should work fine. I had wanted to use the one provided by keananda but it was choking on pr($lines).

<?php
function f_parse_csv($file, $longest, $delimiter) {
 
$mdarray = array();
 
$file    = fopen($file, "r");
  while (
$line = fgetcsv($file, $longest, $delimiter)) {
   
array_push($mdarray, $line);
    }
 
fclose($file);
  return
$mdarray;
  }
?>

$longest is a number that represents the longest line in the csv file as required by fgetcsv().  The page for fgetcsv() said that the longest line could be set to 0 or left out, but I couldn't get it to work without. I just made it extra large when I had to use it.

$r = array();
   
$rows = explode($terminator,trim($csv));
   
$names = array_shift($rows);
   
$names = str_getcsv($names,$delimiter,$enclosure,$escape);
   
$nc = count($names);
    foreach (
$rows as $row) {
        if (
trim($row)) {
           
$values = str_getcsv($row,$delimiter,$enclosure,$escape);
            if (!
$values) $values = array_fill(0,$nc,null);
           
$r[] = array_combine($names,$values);
        }
    }
    return
$r;

`durik at 3ilab dot net` brings up a good point but the solution provided may fail in certain (very rare) edge cases. I believe a more perfect solution is as follows:

<?php
// Use an I/O stream instead of an actual file.
$handle = fopen('php://temp/myCSV', 'w+b');

// Write all the data to it
fwrite($handle, $CSVString);

// Rewind for reading
rewind($handle);

// use fgetcsv which tends to work better than str_getcsv in some cases
$rows = array();
while (
$row = fgetcsv($handle)) $rows[] = $row;
?>

A variation on this technique can also be used to implement an 'str_putcsv' which PHP lacks.
