Yes I'm new - multidimensional arrays??

[robertb13]

I am brand spanking new to PHP so bear with me...
Starting with the code...

<?php
$file_handle = fopen("web_contacts.csv", "r");
while (!feof($file_handle) ) {
$array13 = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024);
print_r($array13);
}
fclose($file_handle);
?>

I am pulling rows into the array $array13 from a CSV sheet.

I'm getting this (abbreviated)...

Array
(
[0] => Rafael Z
[1] => PASC
[2] => Chairperson
[3] => [e-mail]
)
Array
(
[0] => Nick A
[1] => PASC
[2] => Vice Chairperson
[3] => [e-mail]
)
Array
(
[0] => OPEN
[1] => PASC
[2] => Tresurer
[3] => [e-mail]

What I want is...

Array [0]
(
[0] => Rafael Z
[1] => PASC
[2] => Chairperson
[3] => [e-mail]
)
Array [1]
(
[0] => Nick A
[1] => PASC
[2] => Vice Chairperson
[3] => [e-mail]
)
Array [2]
(
[0] => OPEN
[1] => PASC
[2] => Tresurer
[3] => [e-mail]
)

Basically I want each pass of the while (or foreach if that is what should be used) to assign a key value to the array
i.e. $array13[1][2] == "Vice Chairperson"

I have been all over the forum and tried dozens of things. Ready to shoot myself.

HELP!!

When posting code and other things that need their formatting retained, please use the markup tags described in the FAQs to mark up your code.

$array13 = array();

$file_handle = fopen("web_contacts.csv", "r");
while (!feof($file_handle) ) {
    $array13[] = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024);
}
fclose($file_handle);

This is my first day on PHP. Is this too tough to do?

[Weedpacket]

Have a look at the code I wrote; it's done there. Your problem is that you were fetching data from each row and throwing it away when you fetched the next.

Sorry about the deletion/non-deletion thing. The site had a hiccup while I was approving the original post.

This is the website...

The source code was too long to post here
The last 20 arrays are what I would like to see as the finished product.

Should $array13 = array(); be before (outside) of the <?php

Thanks again...

[Weedpacket]

No, inside; that's a typo on my part (fixed).

[robertb13]

It's creating the 1st array, then the 1st/2nd, then 1st/2nd/3rd, etc...

It's duplicating the whole process...

Let's see the code that's doing it.

Keep in mind that [man]print_r[/man] is a debugging tool for viewing the entire contents of an array. If you call it twice on an array it's going to output the entire contents of the array twice.

<?php
$array13 = array();
$file_handle = fopen("web_contacts.csv", "r"); 
while (!feof($file_handle) ) { 
    $array13[] = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024); 
    print_r($array13);
} 
fclose($file_handle); 
?>

Like I said, "If you call [print_r] twice on an array it's going to output the entire contents of the array twice. " You're calling it every time you go through the loop. So every time you add another row, you're printing the entire array.

[robertb13]

Totally get it. The [print_r] needed to be outside of the loop.
Thanks!
