Coma is a small PHP class for parsing CSV files and turning them into structured arrays.

Usage

Using Coma is pretty damn simple, just add your CSV to the object when you create it, and then call the parse method.

$array = (new Coma(file_get_contents('data.csv')))->parse();

Basically, if we had a CSV with the following:

Title 1,Title 2,Title 3,Title 4,Title 5
data 1,data 2,data 3,data 4,data 5
more data 1,more data 2,more data 3,more data 4,more data 5 

Coma will turn it into a nice array:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [Title 1] => data 1
            [Title 2] => data 2
            [Title 3] => data 3
            [Title 4] => data 4
            [Title 5] => data 5
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [Title 1] => more data 1
            [Title 2] => more data 2
            [Title 3] => more data 3
            [Title 4] => more data 4
            [Title 5] => more data 5
        )

)

Optional CSV Settings

If needed, you can optionally pass to Coma::__construct() some CSV settings, via array. The available settings are:

• delimiter: defaults to ',';
• eol: defaults to "\n".

Example passing different values via these settings:

$array = (new Coma(
    file_get_contents('data.csv'),
    [
        'delimiter' => '|',
        'eol' => "\r\n",
    ])
)->parse();
