How to parse a CSV that contains commas

[gregerly]

I'm having an issue parsing a CSV file in which some fields contain commas. My CSV looks something like this:

123,asdflkj23klj,"Sept. 22, 2008",some field,one more field,"Aug 1,1983"

To parse my csv files I was reading it into an array with file(), and then looping the lines, exploding by comma, IE explode(',',$li ne), however this doesn't work as it will explode the commas in the date fields.

I guess my main question is how do I parse a CSV which may or may not contain comma's in some of the fields.

Thanks!

Hi,

Have a look at the string tokenizer.

Good luck...
