Trying to save each array to a txt file using php

Question

<?php
$file = fopen("test2.csv","r");

while(! feof($file)) {
    print_r(fgetcsv($file));
    $textfilename=[0].".txt";
    file_put_contents ([1]);
}

fclose($file);

?>

This will take data like

Array ( 
    [0] => name 
    [1] => download information 
) 
Array ( 
    [0] => Sense and Sensibility Instant Digital Download 
    [1] => Please visit the following link to download your digital product: http://archive.org/download/0_sense_and_sensibility_librivox/Sense_Sensibility_1107_64kb_mp3.zip 
)

and for each 0 => make that the file name. Then store [1] into the file and save it. But i'm running into an error.

what error you are encountering ?? it seems this is the cause of your Error -- > $textfilename=[0].".txt"; — Dimag Kharab

You mean something like this? Not tested yet.

<?php
$file = fopen("test2.csv","r");

while(($line = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE)
  {
  $textfilename=$line[0].".txt";
  file_put_contents($textfilename, $line[1]);
  }

fclose($file);

?>

if (($handle = fopen("test2.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) 
{
    while (($line = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) 
    {
        $textfile = $line[0] . ".txt";
        file_put_contents($textfile, $line[1]);
    }
    fclose($handle);
}

This code;

Makes sure you can open & read the csv file
For each line in the csv file
Gets the line, and creates a new text file whose name is the first element in the line array (ie. the first column in the csv file for that line)
Puts the second column from the csv file into the new text file
Closes the file

Does that make sense?
