php - open csv in wordpress -

i have csv file contains user specific data load template on fly when user access's user area front end.

the csv self gets managed outside of wordpress , gets uploaded via ftp specific directory in wordpress framework.

as csv contains data required, didn't want create additional processes csv uploading database necessary.

i call function within template read csv file , convert array can manipulate data wish.

i have attempted following inserting following code template:

$file = fopen(get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-content/csv/userdata.csv',"r");  while(! feof($file)){   print_r(fgetcsv($file)); }  fclose($file); 

however doesn't seem work , after searching online cant seem figure out why. wordpress support trying do? if not, can achieve functionality. hope don't have outside of wordpress framework , include template via iframe.

as using get_option('siteurl') http://yoursiteurl system send http request open file work need php curl extension installed in system. suggested access file directly using thing

$file = fopen(wp_content_dir . '/csv/userdata.csv',"r");  while(! feof($file)){   print_r(fgetcsv($file)); }  fclose($file);
