PHP: Undefined index even if it exists

Question

It drives me crazy ... I try to parse a csv file and there is a very strange behavior.

Here is the csv

action;id;nom;sites;heures;jours
i;;\"un nom a         


        

Answer 1

I struggled with this issue until I realised that my chunk of code has been run twice.

First run when index was present and my array was printed out properly, and the second run when index was not present and the notice error is triggered. That left me wondering "why my obviously existing and properly printed out array is triggering an 'Undefined index' notice". :)

Maybe this will help somebody.
