How to make the header row be skipped in my while loop using fgetcsv?

Question

I can\'t get the new code I\'ve written to skip the first row (header) as the code I was using before did (see bottom).

I\'m not receiving any errors, but just can\

Answer 1

Why even count? Just get the headers before looping.

$column_headers = fgetcsv($file);
while(!feof($file)) {
   ...

Also, you're only assigning the file pointer to the variable.

Answer 2

When $row_count is 0 you are not reading any row.

Change

if ($row_count==0){
    $column_headers = $file;  // just assigning file handle.
}

to

if ($row_count==0){
    $column_headers = fgetcsv($file); // read the row.
}
