  • See the manual for how to do this with fgetcsv Commented Jun 2, 2014 at 19:12
  • possible duplicate of PHP reading a csv file effectively Commented Jun 2, 2014 at 19:13
  • No Its not Duplicate as I am facing issue with integrating with href tags Commented Jun 2, 2014 at 19:14
  • I don't think you have a grasp on what file() is returning or how to loop through the results. Commented Jun 2, 2014 at 19:17

https://www.php.net/fgetcsv

You should open a file (with fopen function), then you can use the fgetcsv method to fetch a line from your csv as an array. Use a loop to iterate over every line.

    $file = fopen($fileName, "r");
    
    while ($row = fgetcsv($file, 1000, ' ')) {
        echo "<ul>";
        foreach ($row as $element) {
            echo "<li>$element</li>";
        }
        echo "</ul>";
    }
    
    fclose($file);

Hi You have told about the Iteration Part But How do I make the Html list tag dynamic <li><a href="#<?php print_r(readCSV('joinUs.csv')[1]);?>"><?php print_r(readCSV('joinUs.csv')[1]);?></a></li>
$row is an array, you can go through each of its element with a simple foreach loop (i'll edit the answer).
Hi Can I add a href tag in the echo inside forEach loop in the above mentioned code to display the link dynamically.I am new to PHP and I just want to know whether we can add Html a ref inside php.
PHP will generate the HTML you echo, so yes, you can use <a href...> or any other tag you want.

Read the CSV file into an array (like you're doing, but only once). Then loop through the array using foreach(). There is an example in the PHP documentation: https://www.php.net/manual/control-structures.foreach.php

But How to make a href tag dynamic.
Did you read the documentation on the page I linked?
Yes I have gone through it But The main Issue is in integrating with href tag and I am unable to find in it
you see the $value in all those examples? that's what you'll use instead of all that print_r(readCSV('joinUs.csv')[2]) mess that you have now
