Import CSV, exclude first row

Question

I'm importing my csv fine now except one thing, how do i get the import to ignore the data in the first row? Employees will be uploading the same format which has the column names in that first row.

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'])) {
        echo "<h1>" . "File " . $_FILES['filename']['name'] . " uploaded successfully." . "</h1>";
        echo "<h2>Displaying contents:</h2>";
        readfile($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name']);
    }

    //Import uploaded file to Database
    $handle = fopen($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], "r");

    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
        $import = "INSERT into tictoc(employee,taskname,tasktime,sessiontime,sessionstart,sessionend,sessionnotes) values('" . $userinfo['first_name'] . " " . $userinfo['last_name'] . "','$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]','$data[5]')";

        mysql_query($import) or die(mysql_error());
    }

    fclose($handle);

    print "Import done";
}

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'])) {
    echo "<h1>" . "File " . $_FILES['filename']['name'] . " uploaded successfully." . "</h1>";
    echo "<h2>Displaying contents:</h2>";
    readfile($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name']);
}

//Import uploaded file to Database
$handle = fopen($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], "r");
fgetcsv($handle); //skip the reading of the first line from the csv file

while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
    $import = "INSERT into tictoc(employee,taskname,tasktime,sessiontime,sessionstart,sessionend,sessionnotes) values('" . $userinfo['first_name'] . " " . $userinfo['last_name'] . "','$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]','$data[5]')";

    mysql_query($import) or die(mysql_error());
}

fclose($handle);

print "Import done";

}

Answer 2

just set a variable $i = 0 Then only insert when $i = 1 or more

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $i=0; //so we can skip first row

    if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'])) {
        echo "<h1>" . "File ". $_FILES['filename']['name'] ." uploaded successfully." . "</h1>";
        echo "<h2>Displaying contents:</h2>";
        readfile($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name']);
    }

    //Import uploaded file to Database
    $handle = fopen($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], "r");

    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
        if($i>0) {
            $import="INSERT into tictoc(employee,taskname,tasktime,sessiontime,sessionstart,sessionend,sessionnotes) values('".$userinfo['first_name']." ".$userinfo['last_name']."','$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]','$data[5]')";

            mysql_query($import) or die(mysql_error());
        }
        $i++;
    }

    fclose($handle);

    print "Import done";
}
