sample of a csv file "my_cool.csv"

name,age,skill
john,13,knows magic
tanaka,8,makes sushi
jose,5,dances salsa

first let's load the file and output whatever was retrived.

require_once 'File/CSV/DataSource.php';
$csv = new File_CSV_DataSource;
$csv->load('my_cool.csv');
var_export($csv->connect());

output

array (
0 =>
array (
'name' => 'john',
'age' => '13',
'skill' => 'knows magic',
),
1 =>
array (
'name' => 'tanaka',
'age' => '8',
'skill' => 'makes sushi',
),
2 =>
array (
'name' => 'jose',
'age' => '5',
'skill' => 'dances salsa',
),
)

now lets do some modifications, let's try adding three rows.

var_export($csv->appendRow(1));
var_export($csv->appendRow('2'));
var_export($csv->appendRow(array(3, 3, 3)));

output

true
true
true

and now let's try to see what has changed

var_export($csv->connect());

output

0 =>
array (
'name' => 'john',
'age' => '13',
'skill' => 'knows magic',
),

array (
'name' => 'tanaka',

'skill' => 'makes sushi',
),

'age' => '5',
'skill' => 'dances salsa',
),
3 =>
array (
'name' => 1,
'age' => 1,
'skill' => 1,
),
4 =>
array (
