I am trying to parse it into array but the problem is, it's not giving me all the values when I use if statement to check if the given array count is greater than 0 using the count() function - it just gives me second array and skips the first and second

$file = fopen($path, 'r');
        $rows = [];
        $x = 0;
        while(! feof($file))
          {

            if (count(fgetcsv($file))) {
                // if array is empty we don't pass it to further proceeding
                echo "<pre>";
                print_r(fgetcsv($file));
            }
            echo $x;
            $x++;
          }

Why is it skipping first and second?

Answer 1

Just comment out the if() and it will print all the elements.

If file is empty then it will only echo 0.

Try below code :

$file = fopen($path, 'r');
$rows = [];
$x = 0;
while(! feof($file))
{
     //if (count(fgetcsv($file))) {
         // if array is empty we don't pass it to further proceeding
         echo "<pre>";
         print_r(fgetcsv($file));
     //}

   echo $x;
   $x++;
}
