VCF Parser for php

Question

[finswimmer]

Hello,

I've tried to google it, but it wasn't very successful yet. Did someone know a vcf parser module for php?

Thanks for any recommendation.

[finswimmer]

Hello Pierre,

I would like to program my own web application where it is necessary to have access to the columns and info fields of a vcf file. As it is a so often used task, I hoped that there is a module I could easiely include.

to have access to the columns and info fields of a vcf file

random access ? like a database ? what kind of output ?

[finswimmer]

Hello,

my application will be mainly about displaying informations in the INFO column. So this could be quite easily done, by splitting the columns and the key-value pairs. Things like random access or searching like with a database are not really needed (now).

As I said before, I thought there might be a commonly used library out there. If not, I will do it by myself. Just didn't want to reinvent the wheel.
