A library that loads and parses a CSV file, returning an object of the file with each CSV line as an object (License: GPL-2.0)

##Installation

###Included in a PHP Project w/ Composer

Add the following to your composer.json file using the latest version number or 1.0.* to keep it fresh:

"require": {
  "daleattree/csvfilehandler": "1.0.*"
}

##Usage

$csvFileHandler = new daleattree\CsvFileHandler\CsvFileHandler($filename, [$headerRow = true], [$delimiter = ','], [$enclosure = '"'], [$escape = '\\'], [$autoParse = true]);

###Example

####CSV File Content

id,greeting1,greeting2,salutation
1,"Regards, Test",hello,"there"

Code

foreach($csvFileHandler->getRecords() as $record){
  echo $record->getId() . PHP_EOL . 
  $record->getGreeting2()() . ' ' . $record->getSalutation() . PHP_EOL . 
  $record->getGreeting1() . PHP_EOL;
}

If the CSV file is too large for it to be efficiently loaded into memory, you can set $autoParse to false and read one line at a time from the file.

while(false !== ($row = $this->handler->readRecord())){
    //do something
}

####Output

1
hello there
Regards, Test

If there is a header row, the column names will be camel-cased and accessible on RecordObject via get[ColumnName] and set[ColumnName] If there is no header row, column names default to col[n], n being the column index (zero-based).
