Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via [composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require jwage/easy-csv
```

Reader
------

[](#reader)

To read CSV files we need to instantiate the EasyCSV reader class:

```
$reader = new \EasyCSV\Reader('read.csv');
```

You can iterate over the rows one at a time:

```
while ($row = $reader->getRow()) {
    print_r($row);
}
```

Or you can get everything all at once:

```
print_r($reader->getAll());
```

If you have a file with the header in a different line:

```
// our headers aren't on the first line
$reader = new \EasyCSV\Reader('read.csv', 'r+', false);
// zero-based index, so this is line 4
$reader->setHeaderLine(3);
```

Advance to a different line:

```
$reader->advanceTo(6);

```

More in the Reader unit test.

Writer
------

[](#writer)

To write CSV files we need to instantiate the EasyCSV writer class:

```
$writer = new \EasyCSV\Writer('write.csv');
```

You can write a row by passing a commas separated string:

```
$writer->writeRow('column1, column2, column3');
```

Or you can pass an array:

```
$writer->writeRow(array('column1', 'column2', 'column3'));
```

You can also write several rows at once:

```
$writer->writeFromArray(array(
    'value1, value2, value3',
    array('value1', 'value2', 'value3')
));
```
