str_getcsv — Parse a CSV string into an array
$string,$separator = ",",$enclosure = "\"",$escape = "\\"Parses a string input for fields in CSV format and returns an array containing the fields read.
Note: The locale settings are taken into account by this function. For example, data encoded in certain one-byte encodings may be parsed incorrectly if
LC_CTYPEisen_US.UTF-8.
stringThe string to parse.
separator
The separator parameter sets the field separator.
It must be a single byte character.
enclosure
The enclosure parameter sets the field enclosure character.
It must be a single byte character.
escape
The escape parameter sets the escape character.
It must be a single byte character or the empty string.
The empty string ("") disables the proprietary escape mechanism.
Note: Usually an
enclosurecharacter is escaped inside a field by doubling it; however, theescapecharacter can be used as an alternative. So for the default parameter values""and\"have the same meaning. Other than allowing to escape theenclosurecharacter theescapecharacter has no special meaning; it isn't even meant to escape itself.
As of PHP 8.4.0, depending on the default value of
escape is deprecated.
It needs to be provided explicitly either positionally or by the use
of named arguments.
When escape is set to anything other than an empty string
("") it can result in CSV that is not compliant with
» RFC 4180 or unable to survive a roundtrip
through the PHP CSV functions. The default for escape is
"\\" so it is recommended to set it to the empty string explicitly.
The default value will change in a future version of PHP, no earlier than PHP 9.0.
Returns an indexed array containing the fields read.
Throws a ValueError if
separator or enclosure
is not one byte long.
Throws a ValueError if
escape is not one byte long or the empty string.
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.4.0 |
Relying on the default value of escape is now
deprecated.
|
| 8.4.0 |
Now throws a ValueError if
separator, enclosure,
or escape is invalid.
This mimics the behavior of fgetcsv() and
fputcsv().
|
| 7.4.0 |
The escape parameter now interprets an empty
string as signal to disable the proprietary escape mechanism. Formerly,
an empty string was treated like the default parameter value.

Example #1 str_getcsv() example
<?php
$string = 'PHP,Java,Python,Kotlin,Swift';
$data = str_getcsv($string);
var_dump($data);
?>The above example will output:
array(5) {
[0]=>
string(3) "PHP"
[1]=>
string(4) "Java"
[2]=>
string(6) "Python"
[3]=>
string(6) "Kotlin"
[4]=>
string(5) "Swift"
}
Example #2 str_getcsv() example with an empty string
On an empty string this function returns the value [null]
instead of an empty array.
<?php
$string = '';
$data = str_getcsv($string);
var_dump($data);
?>The above example will output:
array(1) {
[0]=>
NULL
}

Handy one liner to parse a CSV file into an array
<?php
$csv = array_map('str_getcsv', file('data.csv'));
?>Based on James' line, this will create an array of associative arrays with the first row column headers as the keys.
<?php
$csv = array_map('str_getcsv', file($file));
array_walk($csv, function(&$a) use ($csv) {
$a = array_combine($csv[0], $a);
});
array_shift($csv); # remove column header
?>
This will yield something like
[2] => Array
(
[Campaign ID] => 295095038
[Ad group ID] => 22460178158
[Keyword ID] => 3993587178As the str_getcsv(), unlike to fgetcsv(), does not parse the rows in CSV string, I have found following easy workaround:
<?php
$Data = str_getcsv($CsvString, "\n"); //parse the rows
foreach($Data as &$Row) $Row = str_getcsv($Row, ";"); //parse the items in rows
?>
Why not use explode() instead of str_getcsv() to parse rows? Because explode() would not treat possible enclosured parts of string or escaped characters correctly.PHP is failing when parsing UTF-8 with Byte Order Mark. Strip it with this one from string before passing it to csv parser:
<?php
$bom = pack('CCC', 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF);
if (strncmp($yourString, $bom, 3) === 0) {
$body = substr($yourString, 3);
}
?>Like some other users here noted, str_getcsv() cannot be used if you want to comply with either the RFC or with most spreadsheet tools like Excel or Google Docs.
These tools do not escape commas or new lines, but instead place double-quotes (") around the field. If there are any double-quotes in the field, these are escaped with another double-quote (" becomes ""). All this may look odd, but it is what the RFC and most tools do ...
For instance, try exporting as .csv a Google Docs spreadsheet (File > Download as > .csv) which has new lines and commas as part of the field values and see how the .csv content looks, then try to parse it using str_getcsv() ... it will spectacularly regardless of the arguments you pass to it.
Here is a function that can handle everything correctly, and more:
- doesn't use any for or while loops,
- it allows for any separator (any string of any length),
- option to skip empty lines,
- option to trim fields,
- can handle UTF8 data too (although .csv files are likely non-unicode).
Here is the more human readable version of the function:
<?php
// returns a two-dimensional array or rows and fields
function parse_csv ($csv_string, $delimiter = ",", $skip_empty_lines = true, $trim_fields = true)
{
$enc = preg_replace('/(?<!")""/', '!!Q!!', $csv_string);
$enc = preg_replace_callback(
'/"(.*?)"/s',
function ($field) {
return urlencode(utf8_encode($field[1]));
},
$enc
);
$lines = preg_split($skip_empty_lines ? ($trim_fields ? '/( *\R)+/s' : '/\R+/s') : '/\R/s', $enc);
return array_map(
function ($line) use ($delimiter, $trim_fields) {
$fields = $trim_fields ? array_map('trim', explode($delimiter, $line)) : explode($delimiter, $line);
return array_map(
function ($field) {
return str_replace('!!Q!!', '"', utf8_decode(urldecode($field)));
},
$fields
);
},
$lines
);
}
?>
Since this is not using any loops, you can actually write it as a one-line statement (one-liner).
Here's the function using just one line of code for the function body, formatted nicely though:
<?php
// returns the same two-dimensional array as above, but with a one-liner code
function parse_csv ($csv_string, $delimiter = ",", $skip_empty_lines = true, $trim_fields = true)
{
return array_map(
function ($line) use ($delimiter, $trim_fields) {
return array_map(
function ($field) {
return str_replace('!!Q!!', '"', utf8_decode(urldecode($field)));
},
$trim_fields ? array_map('trim', explode($delimiter, $line)) : explode($delimiter, $line)
);
},
preg_split(
$skip_empty_lines ? ($trim_fields ? '/( *\R)+/s' : '/\R+/s') : '/\R/s',
preg_replace_callback(
'/"(.*?)"/s',
function ($field) {
return urlencode(utf8_encode($field[1]));
},
$enc = preg_replace('/(?<!")""/', '!!Q!!', $csv_string)
)
)
);
}
?>
Replace !!Q!! with another placeholder if you wish.
Have fun.Here is a quick and easy way to convert a CSV file to an associated array:
<?php
/**
* @link http://gist.github.com/385876
*/
function csv_to_array($filename='', $delimiter=',')
{
if(!file_exists($filename) || !is_readable($filename))
return FALSE;
$header = NULL;
$data = array();
if (($handle = fopen($filename, 'r')) !== FALSE)
{
while (($row = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, $delimiter)) !== FALSE)
{
if(!$header)
$header = $row;
else
$data[] = array_combine($header, $row);
}
fclose($handle);
}
return $data;
}
?>I wanted the best of the 2 solutions by james at moss dot io and Jay Williams (csv_to_array()) - create associative array from a CSV file with a header row.
<?php
$array = array_map('str_getcsv', file('data.csv'));
$header = array_shift($array);
array_walk($array, '_combine_array', $header);
function _combine_array(&$row, $key, $header) {
$row = array_combine($header, $row);
}
?>
Then I thought why not try some benchmarking? I grabbed a sample CSV file with 50,000 rows (10 columns each) and Vulcan Logic Disassembler (VLD) which hooks into the Zend Engine and dumps all the opcodes (execution units) of a script - see http://pecl.php.net/package/vld and example here: http://fabien.potencier.org/article/8/print-vs-echo-which-one-is-faster
Result:
array_walk() and array_map() - 39 opcodes
csv_to_array() - 69 opcodesDon't have this? Ask fgetcsv() to do it for you.
5.1.0+
<?php
if (!function_exists('str_getcsv')) {
function str_getcsv($input, $delimiter = ",", $enclosure = '"', $escape = "\\") {
$fiveMBs = 5 * 1024 * 1024;
$fp = fopen("php://temp/maxmemory:$fiveMBs", 'r+');
fputs($fp, $input);
rewind($fp);
$data = fgetcsv($fp, 1000, $delimiter, $enclosure); // $escape only got added in 5.3.0
fclose($fp);
return $data;
}
}
?>@normadize - that is a nice start, but it fails on situations where a field is empty but quoted (returning a string with one double quote instead of an empty string) and cases like """""foo""""" that should result in ""foo"" but instead return "foo". I also get a row with 1 empty field at the end because of the final CRLF in the CSV. Plus, I don't really like the !!Q!! magic or urlencoding to get around things. Also, \R doesn't work in pcre on any of my php installations.
Here is my take on this, without anonymous functions (so it works on PHP < 5.3), and without your options (because I believe the only correct way to parse according to the RFC would be $skip_empty_lines = false and $trim_fields = false).
//parse a CSV file into a two-dimensional array
//this seems as simple as splitting a string by lines and commas, but this only works if tricks are performed
//to ensure that you do NOT split on lines and commas that are inside of double quotes.
function parse_csv($str)
{
//match all the non-quoted text and one series of quoted text (or the end of the string)
//each group of matches will be parsed with the callback, with $matches[1] containing all the non-quoted text,
//and $matches[3] containing everything inside the quotes
$str = preg_replace_callback('/([^"]*)("((""|[^"])*)"|$)/s', 'parse_csv_quotes', $str);
//remove the very last newline to prevent a 0-field array for the last line
$str = preg_replace('/\n$/', '', $str);
//split on LF and parse each line with a callback
return array_map('parse_csv_line', explode("\n", $str));
}
//replace all the csv-special characters inside double quotes with markers using an escape sequence
function parse_csv_quotes($matches)
{
//anything inside the quotes that might be used to split the string into lines and fields later,
//needs to be quoted. The only character we can guarantee as safe to use, because it will never appear in the unquoted text, is a CR
//So we're going to use CR as a marker to make escape sequences for CR, LF, Quotes, and Commas.
$str = str_replace("\r", "\rR", $matches[3]);
$str = str_replace("\n", "\rN", $str);
$str = str_replace('""', "\rQ", $str);
$str = str_replace(',', "\rC", $str);
//The unquoted text is where commas and newlines are allowed, and where the splits will happen
//We're going to remove all CRs from the unquoted text, by normalizing all line endings to just LF
//This ensures us that the only place CR is used, is as the escape sequences for quoted text
return preg_replace('/\r\n?/', "\n", $matches[1]) . $str;
}
//split on comma and parse each field with a callback
function parse_csv_line($line)
{
return array_map('parse_csv_field', explode(',', $line));
}
//restore any csv-special characters that are part of the data
function parse_csv_field($field) {
$field = str_replace("\rC", ',', $field);
$field = str_replace("\rQ", '"', $field);
$field = str_replace("\rN", "\n", $field);

?>After using several methods in the past to create CSV strings without using files (disk IO sucks), I finally decided it's time to write a function to handle it all. This function could use some cleanup, and the variable type test might be overkill for what is needed, I haven't thought about it too much.
Also, I took the liberty of replacing fields with certain data types with strings which I find much easier to work with. Some of you may not agree with those. Also, please note that the type "double" or float has been coded specifically for two digit precision because if I am using a float, it's most likely for currency.
I am sure some of you out there would appreciate this function.

Microsoft Windows use carriage-return+line-feed for newlines,
Unix (Linux and modern MacOS) use line-feeds,
Some systems use BOM/byte-order-masks just to say they use UTF-8, i've even encountered one-BOM-per-CSV-row!

?>I can’t see this mentioned in the description, but it appears that the fields will be trimmed slightly of trailing line breaks.
In the following example:

$data = str_getcsv($string);
foreach($data as $d) print "[$d]";
/* Result:
================================================
[
PHP][Java
Script
][Fortran][Cobol

================================================ */
?>
You’ll see:
- a leading line break is retained; a line break in the rest of the field is also retained
- one trailing line break is removed; any more are retained
- a line break at the end of the string is also removed; this means that two trailing line breaks at the end are removed
- a line break can be a unix/macos line break (\n) or a windows line beak (\r\n)
Tested on my Macintosh, so I’m not sure how universal this is.
Among other things, it means you can read the file with the file() function without having to include the FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES flag.For maximum compatibility with standard (RFC-4180) CSV files, remember that the proprietary-escape mechanism should be disabled. i.e. set the optional 5th parameter to "" (the empty string).For completeness, here is a userspace str_putcsv() that is fully compatible with fgetcsv() and fputcsv()'s arguments. Namely $escape and $eol, which all others seem to be omitting.
<?php
function str_putcsv(
array $fields,

}Imagine a situation where you need a function that works with both URL and comma delimited text.
This is exactly the function that works like that using str_getcsv(). Just simply insert a CSV URL or comma separated text and it work nicely.
<?php
function parse_csv( $filename_or_text, $delimiter=',', $enclosure='"', $linebreak="\n" )
{
$return = array();
if(false !== ($csv = (filter_var($filename_or_text, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL) ? file_get_contents($filename_or_text) : $filename_or_text)))
{
$csv = trim($csv);
$csv = mb_convert_encoding($csv, 'UTF-16LE');
foreach(str_getcsv($csv, $linebreak, $enclosure) as $row){
$col = str_getcsv($row, $delimiter, $enclosure);
$col = array_map('trim', $col);
$return[] = $col;
}
}
else
{
throw new \Exception('Can not open the file.');
$return = false;
}
return $return;
}
?>Sometimes the enclosure parameter of the str_getcsv function doesn't work, so I wrote a function that is equivalent to the function
<?php
/**

function my_str_getcsv($input, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"', $escape = '\\') {

if (empty($input) || !is_string($input)) {
return $output;

if (preg_match("/". $escape . $enclosure ."/", $input)) {
while ($strlen = strlen($input)) {
$pos_delimiter = strpos($input, $delimiter); //分隔符出现位置
$pos_enclosure_start = strpos($input, $enclosure); //封闭符-开始出现位置

}
?>Note that the function does NOT remove the escaping characters. If you do
<?php
str_getcsv('"abc\"abc"')
?>
you'll get an array with a string(8) "abc\"abc", the \ will stay.I prepared some better function for parsing CSV string.
function csv_to_array($string='', $row_delimiter=PHP_EOL, $delimiter = "," , $enclosure = '"' , $escape = "\\" )

$rows = array_filter(explode($row_delimiter, $string));

$row = str_getcsv ($row, $delimiter, $enclosure , $escape);
if(!$header)
$header = $row;
else
$data[] = array_combine($header, $row);
}
return $data;
}Note: The function trims all values unlike str_getcsv (v5.3).

*/
function str_getcsv4($input, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"') {

return (array)preg_replace(array("/^\\s*/", "/\\s*$/"), '', explode($delimiter, $input));
}
$token = "##"; $token2 = "::";
//alternate tokens "\034\034", "\035\035", "%%";
$t1 = preg_replace(array("/\\\[$enclosure]/", "/$enclosure{2}/",

array($token2, $token2, $token, $token), trim(trim(trim($input), $enclosure)));
$a = explode($token, $t1);
foreach($a as $k=>$v) {
if ( preg_match("/^{$delimiter}/", $v) || preg_match("/{$delimiter}$/", $v) ) {
$a[$k] = trim($v, $delimiter); $a[$k] = preg_replace("/$delimiter/", "$token", $a[$k]); }

}Note that this function can also be used to parse other types of constructions. For example, I have used to parse .htaccess AddDescription lines:
AddDescription "My description to the file." filename.jpg
Those lines can be parsed like this:
<?php
$line = 'AddDescription "My description to the file." filename.jpg';
$parsed = str_getcsv(
$line, # Input line
' ', # Delimiter
'"', # Enclosure
'\\' # Escape char
);
var_dump( $parsed );
?>
The output:
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(14) "AddDescription"
[1]=>
string(27) "My description to the file."
[2]=>
string(12) "filename.jpg"
}Drawing inspiration from daniel dot oconnor at gmail dot com, here's an alternative str_putcsv() that leverages existing PHP core functionality (5.1.0+) to avoid re-inventing the wheel.
<?php
if(!function_exists('str_putcsv')) {
function str_putcsv($input, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"') {
// Open a memory "file" for read/write...
$fp = fopen('php://temp', 'r+');
// ... write the $input array to the "file" using fputcsv()...
fputcsv($fp, $input, $delimiter, $enclosure);
// ... rewind the "file" so we can read what we just wrote...
rewind($fp);
// ... read the entire line into a variable...
$data = fgets($fp);
// ... close the "file"...
fclose($fp);
// ... and return the $data to the caller, with the trailing newline from fgets() removed.
return rtrim( $data, "\n" );
}
}
?>If your happy enough having just a multi-dimensional array, this should work fine. I had wanted to use the one provided by keananda but it was choking on pr($lines).
<?php
function f_parse_csv($file, $longest, $delimiter) {
$mdarray = array();
$file = fopen($file, "r");
while ($line = fgetcsv($file, $longest, $delimiter)) {
array_push($mdarray, $line);
}
fclose($file);
return $mdarray;
}
?>
$longest is a number that represents the longest line in the csv file as required by fgetcsv(). The page for fgetcsv() said that the longest line could be set to 0 or left out, but I couldn't get it to work without. I just made it extra large when I had to use it.
