// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// This example program loads a file (japanese.csv)
// that contains this content:
// 
// year,color,country,food
// 2001,red,France,cheese
// 2005,blue,"United States",hamburger
// 2008,green,Italy,pasta
// 1998,orange,Japan,sushi
// 2010,silver,"",""
// 

$csv = new CkCsv();

// Prior to loading the CSV file, indicate that the 1st row
// should be treated as column names:
$csv->put_HasColumnNames(true);

// Load the CSV records from the file.
// Important: Make sure to call LoadFile2 so that the charset (utf-8)
// of the CSV file can be indicated.
$success = $csv->LoadFile2('qa_data/csv/japanese.csv','utf-8');
if ($success != true) {
    print $csv->lastErrorText() . "\n";

// Display the contents of the 3rd column

$n = $csv->get_NumRows();
