Hey everyone,
I have the class writing form data to a csv and it works perfectly. What I am wondering is am I able to compare the form data first with the csv rows to make sure its not writing a duplicate entry? Maybe a loop to go through all the rows and compare it to the new data first? If anyone has a duggestion it is much appreciated. I could post my code if it helps.

Looks like there needs to be a trim() filter on fields as well.

Nice work! I may end up extending this so that you can access fields like a hash map, using numerical keys goes against being intuitive. If you shoot me SVN info I’ll send in my patch. Regarding the filenames guys just add the folder to your include path, that’s what you normally would do with a library like this.

Yes, I am aware of these issues, thank you!

I’m sorry guys, I’ve unexpectedly become very very busy. I’m working on this when I can, but it still may be a bit.

and now my comment about the directory structure is messed up:
Csv is the top level.
all other files are below.
Csv > Dialect
Csv > Exception
Csv > Reader.php
….

Just a short question to the directory structure and include paths:
The directory structure is
+ Csv
+ Dialect
+ Exception
…
+ Reader.php
…

But in Reader.php is

require_once ‘Csv/Dialect.php’;

which php won’t find because Reader is IN Csv. Should it not be

require_once ‘Dialect.php’;

?
Trying to use the lib in a symfony app.

thank you for your work.

Arena,
I’ll look into it. The next release will be a lot more stable.

Vikas,
What are you asking me? How to import a csv file full of contacts into your system? That’s a very general question. Be specific.

Everybody else,
My apologies, but I have been unable to find the time to work on this project as of late. Other, more lucrative projects have been keeping me busy unfortunately. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to finally wrap up version 0.3 some time before the end of the year.

Hello,

I tried to use your php code with an csv file coming from the export of my gmail contact. Apparently, the Csv_Sniffer is not abe to handle the data properly.

Please help.
