PHP dynamically create CSV: Skip the first line of a CSV file

Question

I am trying to import a CSV file. Due to the program we use, the first row is basically all headers that I would like to skip since I've already put my own headers in via HTML. How can I get the code to skip the first row of the CSV? (the strpos command is to cut off the first field in all the rows.)

<?php $row = 1; if (($handle = fopen("ptt.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) { while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {     $num = count($data);            $row++;     for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {     if(strpos($data[$c], 'Finished') !== false) {     $c++; echo "<TR> <TD nowrap>" . $data[$c] . "</ TD>"; }     Else{         echo "<TD nowrap>" .  $data[$c] . "</ TD>";         }     } } fclose($handle); } ?> 

Answer 1

Rather than using if condition for checking whether it is the first row, a better solution is to just add an extra line of code before the line from where the while loop starts as shown below :

.... ..... fgetcsv($handle);//Adding this line will skip the reading of th first line from the csv file and the reading process will begin from the second line onwards while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) { ....... ....... 

It is just as simple......
