CSV file read fail (PHP )

Question

I am trying to read a CSV file (delimited by commas) but unfortunately, it isn't responding as it ought to. I am not so sure what I am doing wrong here, but I'll paste out the contents of the code and the CSV file both :

$row = 0;
if($handle = fopen("SampleQuizData.csv","r") !== FALSE)
{
    // WORKS UNTIL HERE, SO FILE IS BEING READ
    while(!feof(handle))
    {
        $line = fgetcsv($handle, 1024, ",") ;
        echo $line[2];  // DOES NOT WORK
    }    
}

Here is the CSV file: (the emails and names have been changed here to protect the identities of the users)

Answer 1

it lacks a '$' to the handle variable

while(!feof($handle)){

and not :

while(!feof(handle)){

Answer 2

Give this a try:

<?php

$row = 0;

if (($handle = fopen("SampleQuizData.csv", "r")) !== FALSE)
{
    while(!feof($handle))
    {
        $line = fgetcsv($handle, 1024, ",") ;
        echo "$line[2]";
    }    
}

?>

Answer 3

It's worth a mention but when I was working on CSV exports a few weeks ago, I had weird line ending inconsistencies. So I put this at the top of my php file and it worked splendid.

<?php
    ini_set("auto_detect_line_endings", true);
?>
