Zend Framework 2 module to export and import CSV files

RdnCsv

The RdnCsv ZF2 module makes it really easy to export and import CSV files.

How to install

1. Use composer to require the radnan/rdn-csv package:

   $ composer require radnan/rdn-csv:1.*

2. Activate the module by including it in your application.config.php file:

   <?php
   
   return array(
       'modules' => array(
           'RdnCsv',
           // ...
       ),
   );

How to use

The module comes with two plugins - csvExport() and csvImport().

csvExport()

Export data into a downloadable CSV file using this plugin.

// inside a controller action

$header = array(
	'Year',
	'Make',
	'Model',
	'Description',
	'Price',
);
$records = array(
	array(
		'1997',
		'Ford',
		'E350',
		'ac, abs, moon',
		'3000.00',
	),
);

return $this->csvExport('foo.csv', $header, $records);

The plugin will return a response object which you can then return from your controller action.

csvImport()

Import data from a CSV file using this plugin.

// inside a controller action

$csv = $this->csvImport('/path/to/foo.csv');

foreach ($csv as $row)
{
	var_dump($row);
	// array(
	//     'Year' => '1997',
	//     'Make' => 'Ford',
	//     'Model' => 'E350',
	//     'Description' => 'ac, abs, moon',
	//     'Price' => '3000.00',
	// )
}

The plugin returns an iterator that can be used to loop over all the rows in the CSV file.
