Maybe? I'm not that capable at PHP (at least not yet) - What I wonder is
how I would take JUST that value (ie. the price) from the CSV-file I
already have?
Could I use a kind of one-liner to just put in the last group in the CSV
(the price is always last)?
And, as I am also new to the array-functions, how would I go around
creating that file, and pulling the different values from it?
I'm thinking I could use something like:
<?php
$prices = array (
product1 => 1200,
product2 => 2400,
product3 => 3450,
)
?>
Would this work? Does the names have anything to say? And, to pull one
value from this file - how would I do that? Assuming that this is put in
a separate PHP-file, that is. Like eg. prices.php
Would I use something like <?php $_GET["prices.php"] $prices="product1"
?> ??
