// Let's say we want to append the following row:
// yelp,Yelp,,web,San Francisco,CA,1-Jul-04,1000000,USD,a

// If we have the row as-is, we could do this:
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Csv')

$success = $csvTemp->LoadFromString('yelp,Yelp,,web,San Francisco,CA,1-Jul-04,1000000,USD,a');

$i = 0;
$row = $csv->NumRows;
while ($i < $numCols) {
    $csv->SetCell($row,$i,$csvTemp->getCell(0,$i));
    $i = $i + 1;
}

// Show the updated CSV:
print $csv->saveToString() . "\n";

// Output should be:
