Very simple CSV parser object in PHP. Pass it a CSV string, perhaps from a file_get_contents($path)Requires that the first row be the column names, and that the delimiter is a comma.

CSV.php

<?php
  
class CSV implements IteratorAggregate {

	// this is where we will store the rows
	protected $rows = array();


	function __construct($csv)
	{
		// split up the csv string into individual lines
		$lines = explode(PHP_EOL, $csv);
	
		// we're assuming the first row is the column names.  split them up.
		$fields = explode(',', $lines[0]);
		
		// iterate through the rest of the rows
		for ($i = 1; $i < count($lines) - 1; $i++)
		{
			// instantize a holder class
			$row = new stdClass;
			
			// split up the row data
			$rowData = explode(',', $lines[$i]);
			
			// iterate through each column
			foreach ($fields as $column => $field)
			{
				// make sure the column exists
				if (array_key_exists($column, $rowData))
				{
					// store the column data as a property of the row (named per the first row)
					$row->$field = $rowData[$column];
				}
			}
			
			// store the row
			$this->rows[$i - 1] = $row;
		}
	}
	
	// this (along with implements IteratorAggregate) lets us use a foreach statement on the CSV object
	public function getIterator()
	{
		return new ArrayIterator($this->rows);
	}

	
	// example of the extra functionality we can add to the object
	public function getRow($num)
	{
		return $this->rows[$num];
	}
	
}
