    This is a PHP class which earned several enthusiastic comments on the Google code site (I'm sure it might help someone) :)

    parsecsv-for-php

    I'm slowly learning "the hard stuff", and need help with a simple question:

    > If the csv file has only one entry (a live update of a stock index, for example)
    and...

    1) I need to use php to read the file ('test.csv')
    2) Turn the one number into a (ready to use) php variable

    I've looked at tutorials which build arrays, and that's overkill. How can I (import and) turn the one (imported) number into a variable?
    If you have a moment, please, provide a 'detailed' code chunk, so I can learn from it.

    Thank you very much.
