csv-parse
=========

[](#csv-parse)

A very simple, very quick class and command line application that can parse CSV into a multidimensional array.

CSV Format
----------

[](#csv-format)

The CSV must have the first row as a header.

Example
-------

[](#example)

For example a CSV with

First NameLast NameEmailDonOmondiWill become a multidimensional array with each row looking like this when using the `print_r` command

```
[0] => Array
    (
        [First Name] => Don
        [Last Name] => Omondi
        [Email] => don.e.omondi@gmail.com
    )

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### CLI

[](#cli)

To use the CLI, for example to verify how many records get parsed, simply have the package and execute this command

`php bin/parse parse:csv`

### Class

[](#class)

To use this within your own application simply directly invoke the class parse method with the location of the CSV file.

$csvParse = new \\TheDonHimself\\CsvParse\\Services\\CsvParse(); $data = $csvParse->parse($filePath);

Enjoy.
