import data from CSV file

[Dipl.-Ing. Werner Riegler]

hi there,

does anybody have a quick solution for importing data from a comma separated
file ?

i know the xml reader,

and there is open read close ...

but how to read lines and split them into ";" delimeted pieces ?

got it in e.g. php:

wait_lock($ifile);
    if (($fp = @fopen($ifile, 'r'))) {
     $status = true;
     $first = true;
     while (!feof ($fp)) {
      $line = fgets ($fp, 1024);
      if ($first) {
       // skipp header
       $first = false;
       continue;
      }
      $address_line = explode(";", $line);
      foreach ($address_line as $key=>$value) {
...

thanks a lot ;-)
