explode();

[Chris_Evans]

Hi,
I have a csv file that I'm working with. It consists of 900 | rather than commas, but that doesn't make much difference.

Anyhow, it seems to stop at the 289th |. Any reason why?

Thanks,

Chris

I've had this problem before, can't remember how I got around it though.

The explode function setup is

explode(boundary, string[, limit]);

where limit is: "If the optional limit argument is used, parsing stops after the array contains limit elements. The last element contains the unparsed remainder of the string. "

Try adding a limit value into it, see if that makes a difference. Can't guarantee it as I'm not sure, but worth a try 🙂

Hi 🙂
Thanks for the suggestion. I've done a couple of echos. It appears that when I use fopen("address"); it doesn't seem to open the full amount.

It's retrieving it from a text file. The text file size is between 50000 bytes and 52000 bytes, yet it just won't open.

It appears to cut off the file at a particular point. This is the code I'm using:

	function getCSV($csv) {
		$file = fopen($csv,"r");
		$read = fread($file,"60000");
		if($read == "") {
			die("Could not read file.");
		} else {
			return $read;
		}
	}

I set the byte size to a higher value as the url doesn't actually point the the text file directly, it's a ?=?= type of url and for some reason, filesize() doesn't work either.

Thanks,

Chris

I've sorted it. It is a pain in that the filesize() cannot read a page, so instead I've had to make sure that my end user creates a file, clicks the upload button and it coverts it then.
