    copied!<p>I have a CSV file with several headers.</p> <p>I only need about 5 of these columns.</p> <p>I'm trying to get these into a more manageable format (variables?) so I can then do a check on their values.</p> <p>I have the following code:</p> <pre><code> $headers = array('NAME', 'EMAIL'); $picked = array(); $theData = array(); $isFirstRow = true; if (($handle = fopen($uploadedFile, "r")) !== FALSE) { while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) { $numCols = count($data); $row = array(); if($isFirstRow) { for($c=0; $c&lt;$numCols; $c++) { if(!in_array($data[$c], $headers)) { continue; } else { $picked[] = $c; $isFirstRow = false; } } } else { for($c=0; $c &lt; $numCols; $c++) { if(in_array($c, $picked)) { $row[] = $data[$c]; $theData[] = $row; } } } } fclose($handle); } var_dump($theData); </code></pre> <p>This outputs the following:</p> <pre><code>array (size=xxxxxx) 0 =&gt; array (size=1) 0 =&gt; string 'John Doe' (length=8) 1 =&gt; array (size=2) 0 =&gt; string 'John Doe' (length=8) 1 =&gt; string 'johndoe@test.com' (length=16) 2 =&gt; array (size=1) 0 =&gt; string 'Jane Doe' (length=8) 3 =&gt; array (size=2) 0 =&gt; string 'Jane Doe' (length=8) 1 =&gt; string 'janedoe@test.com' (length=16) </code></pre> <p>Obviously this isn't the expected output</p> <p>I'd like something more like:</p> <pre><code>array (size=xxxx) 0 =&gt; array (size=1) 0 =&gt; string 'John Doe' (length=8) 1 =&gt; string 'johndoe@test.com' (length=16) 1 =&gt; array (size=2) 0 =&gt; string 'Jane Doe' (length=8) 1 =&gt; string 'janedoe@test.com' (length=16) </code></pre> <p>I'not sure why its adding the extra arrays.</p> <p>Anyone have an idea?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>EDIT</p> <p>My CSV looks like this;</p> <pre><code>NAME,EMAIL John Doe,johndoe@test.com Jane Doe,janedoe@test.com </code></pre>
