If you are using the "standard" file upload facilities, your file is being
written to disk when it is being uploaded. As far as I can tell, fgetcsv()
will only read a file from disk:
<?php // from the manual
$row = 1;
$handle = fopen ("test.csv","r");
while ($data = fgetcsv ($handle, 1000, ",")) {
$num = count ($data);
print "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br>\n";
$row++;
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
print $data[$c] . "<br>\n";
}
}
fclose ($handle);
?>
If you are instead using a socket connection to receive the file in a stream
from the client, you could assign it to a string variable, and use
explode().
These are fairly uncharted territories for me, so others will likely have
better answers.
