Method:fillRow

fillRow

Replaces the contents of cells in one given row with $values.

sample of a csv file "my_cool.csv"

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

if we load the csv file and fill the second row with new data?

// load the library
require_once 'File/CSV/DataSource.php';
$csv = new File_CSV_DataSource;

// load csv file
$csv->load('my_cool.csv');

// fill exitent row
var_export($csv->fillRow(1, 'x'));

output

true

now let's dump whatever we have changed

var_export($csv->connect());

output

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

now lets try to fill the row with specific data for each cell

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

output

true

and dump the results

var_export($csv->connect());

output

array (
0 =>
array (
'name' => 'john',
'age' => '13',
'skill' => 'knows magic',
),
1 =>
array (
'name' => 1,
'age' => 2,
'skill' => 3,
),
2 =>
array (
'name' => 'jose',
'age' => '5',
'skill' => 'dances salsa',
),
)
