How do i remove the top line in a CSV file (the coloumn headers)?

Question

I have put together a script which will upload a CSV file and then extract the data into an already made table. I want to make it so the first line(the column headers) will not be inserted into the table, but the rest of the data will be.

  $fp = fopen($_SESSION['filename'],"r");


while (($data = fgetcsv($fp, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE)

{
    $import="INSERT into csv_table(name,address,age) values('$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]')";

    mysql_query($import) or die(mysql_error());

}

fclose($fp);

this is the part of the code i use to extract the data from the csv file.

Thank You very much for any help with this matter!

Answer 1

Just put the following before the while loop to read the first line:

fgetcsv($fp, 1000, ",");

Thereafter the while loop starts with the second line instead.

Answer 2

Underthink it.

Create a boolean flag on the outside, and toggle it once you enter the loop instead of importing, using an if statement.
