What are some alternative methods for passing selected values from a CSV file to a PHP script without writing them to a separate database first?

One alternative method for passing selected values from a CSV file to a PHP script without writing them to a separate database first is to read the CSV file directly in the PHP script and extract the desired values. This can be achieved using PHP's built-in functions for handling CSV files, such as fgetcsv().

// Open the CSV file for reading
$csvFile = fopen('data.csv', 'r');

// Read and process each line of the CSV file
while (($data = fgetcsv($csvFile)) !== false) {
    // Extract the desired values from the CSV file
    $value1 = $data[0];
    $value2 = $data[1];
    
    // Process the selected values as needed
    echo "Value 1: $value1, Value 2: $value2\n";
}

// Close the CSV file
fclose($csvFile);
