Hi Guys yes Pc Guru has come with his wahala again, i wrote a PHP CommandLine to extract a CSV which was converted from an Excel file containing Multi-choice questions for Moodle (a Learning management system) however, because of the time limit, i won't lie the scripts works but its more 100% hardcoded but now the job is done, and subsequent request like this will obviously come, the question is i have decided to write a class that dumps CSV to a good Data Structure, the Dilemma is

1. Should i take the CSV and Dump to a ArrayCollection (i know PHP has no such) this will be a lot easier, and make each field have a magic get and setter method so if a field like "text" exists, getText and SetText will automatically alter it.

2. Or Do i just simply dump the CSV to Arrays and just pick from them.

Now with the first i'm hoping to do the above

//Getters
$ArrayyCollection->getRow(1)->getField(" item "->getValue() ; //Long Method
$ArrayCollection->getRow(1)->item; //Short Hand Magic Method
//Setters
$ArrayCollection->getRow(1)->getField(" item "->setValue(" title ";
$ArrayCollection->getRow(1)->item="value";

anyway i know there are better coders than me over here so i won't mind some insights on it. thanks a lot, i intend to use this to create a simple class that takes CSV and exports them to MoodleXML for Quizzes.

Arggghhh damn smileys

No PHP5 Developers here ??

Hey Guys, just thot i share it not sure if anyone interested, but i used the Code from a git i saw, since it makes no sense writing what someone has already done for people to clone,
https://github.com/kurijov/php-array-collection

Its not the exact thing i needed but it worked anyway.
