array_combine() trouble w/csv file

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I have a problem with a piece of code I wrote to import some records from a csv file into mysql. I have a .csv file with about 300 records in it. The code worked perfect while testing on 3 or 4 records. When I tried to import the entire list I ran into problems where there were gaps of records that had no data.

I tested some of the records that were being missed thinking that it was a charachter in the record making sql choke, but when I did blocks of 5 or 10 of the bad records they worked. This is the error message:

Warning: array_combine() [function.array-combine]: Both parameters should have an equal number of elements in

At some point the insert starts inserting records again and then it hits another block of errors. I am thinking this has to do with some kind of memory limit but the csv file is only 66kb.

Any ideas?

Here is the code

Code: [Select]$handle = fopen($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], "r");


if ($handle)
{
set_time_limit(0);

//the top line is the field names
$fields = fgetcsv($handle, 4096, ',');

//loop through one row at a time
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 4096, ',')) !== FALSE)
{
$data = array_combine($fields, $data);
// Create a Joomla Password and insert the un-encrypted and encryted+salt value into array
$password = generatePassword($length=9, $strength=4);
$data[password] = $password ;
require_once 'libraries/joomla/user/helper.php'; //Use Joomla function in order to salt the password and encrypt
$salt = JUserHelper::genRandomPassword(32);
$crypt = JUserHelper::getCryptedPassword($password, $salt);
$md5password = $crypt . ':' . $salt;
$data[md5password] = $md5password;
// Insert Customer info into jos_user table
$jos_users = sprintf("INSERT into jos_users_test(name,username,email,password,usertype,sendEmail,gid,registerDate) values('%s','%s','%s','%s','%s','%d','%d',NOW())",
sql_prep($data[Contact], $db),
sql_prep($data[Customer], $db),
$data[Email],
$data[md5password],
'Registered',
'1',
'18');
mysql_query($jos_users) or die(mysql_error());

Here is the output of the array, you can tell [15] doesn't have any of the data that [14]and all the rest have. Then it will pick up at some point and a bunch will have data and then it will choke again.

[14] => Array
(
[Customer] => XXXXXXXXX
[Contact] =>
[Phone] => XXXXXXXXXXXX
[Fax] =>
[Alt. Phone] =>
[Alt. Contact] =>
=> [email]tXXXXXX@yahoo.com
[Bill to 1] => XXXXX
[Bill to 2] => XXXXXXXXX
[Bill to 3] => XXXXXXXX
[Bill to 4] =>
[Bill to 5] =>
[Ship to 1] => XXXXXXX
[Ship to 2] => XXXXXXXXX
[Ship to 3] => XXXXXXXX
[Ship to 4] =>
[Ship to 5] =>
[password] => password
[md5password] => 461543387f04a4848d38a6d6fd7376cc:0GHs3PRXbdsqbeghoiZnKxJeudwAYtv3
)

[15] => Array
(
[password] => password
[md5password] => d2db7721b7df8f151ef342a3a72aa32d:bwGLFCJnCdDTjDZH2b5kqfIL5QJ3z42h
