It's a lucky parent who hasn't had to travel by plane with a young child. Some minimalist parents have it down, but the rest of us use up every last cubic inch of space we're allotted, stuffing it with things we might possibly need like hair ties, mismatched infant socks, carabiners, and Ziploc bags that get thrown out eventually. Think back to your last trip on a plane alone when there was a small child—what was that child doing? Standing on the parent's lap screaming? Waving at uncomfortable adults who waved once but then wanted to disengage from the outgoing child? Were you trying to eke out that last bit of nap before descent when that screech jolted you out of slumberland? Did that parent look happy or like she was going to cry herself?
Kids have that natural tendency to want to move and explore their environments when they're in their parents' arms. Parents naturally provide a safe place for a child . . . everywhere except in a moving vehicle, which is what an airplane is. Most of us who have traveled with children and carseats can attest that our kids have been better behaved in their carseats and have found their carseats to be safe pods for them. When was the last time *you* were comfortable in an airplane seat, after all? Kids in harnessed carseats are protected against turbulence and against runway incidents, such as aborted takeoffs and landings, and overshots. And think about it: coffee pots and Coke cans are required to be secured during flight. Don't our kids deserve the same respect?
Can I take any harnessed carseat on the plane?
Maybe. It must have a sticker on it that says the carseat is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft. That part will be written in red ink so it's easy to find. Your owner's manual will also have this wording. Be prepared to show the sticker to a gate agent and/or flight attendant because they may ask to see it as you board the plane.
Can I use a booster seat on the plane?
Let's get our terminology down first. A booster seat is a belt-positioning booster used by older kids. It's used only with a lap/shoulder vehicle seat belt. Since a commercial airplane doesn't have a lap/shoulder seat belt, no, you cannot use a booster seat on the plane. A harnessed seat isn't called a booster seat. If your seat has a harness that also can be used as a booster later on, we call that a "combination seat." Most combination seats are approved for use on airplanes only when used with the harness; that's because you can install it with the plane's seat belt. You can, however, take your booster seat on the plane with you as carry-on luggage for your child to use in the car when you get to your destination. If you have a backless booster, it fits perfectly under the seat in front or in the overhead bin. If you have a folding booster, it fits in the overhead bin. If you have a booster where the back comes off, you can pack the back in your suitcase and carry the bottom on with you.
What are my rights regarding carseat use onboard an airplane?
We have an article that explains what you need to know. Also, know where the certification sticker is on your carseat and bring a healthy dose of patience. Between oddly intimate security searches, our knees being jammed into the seats in front of us, and man spread by guys in the center seat, flying saps the last bit of patience of everyone. Flight attendants receive very little to no training on carseats on aircraft, so the best tactic is one of "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." If there's confusion, it's OK to show them the carseat owner's manual and smile. Remember that they can (and have in the past) remove ticketed passengers from flights.
How far should I push the rear-facing issue?
If you've been online at all, you've heard of travelers who have had problems rear-facing their kiddos: the flight attendant misinterpreted the flight attendant handbook, which requires carseats to be installed on forward-facing passenger seats, and they had to turn their 3 mo. old forward-facing. At some point you pick your battle with the flight attendant (with a smile–remember, he or she is just doing their job) and the likelihood that something catastrophic will happen is slim. Turning an 18 mo old forward-facing on a plane probably isn't going to end the world. If you're still unsure, I suppose you could whip this regulatory requirement out.
What are the best travel carseats?
For babies, use their rear-facing only infant seats. These seats are great for travel because they're usually pretty lightweight in the first place and they're made to be portable. Perfect! Here's where the Average Parent will stop in their tracks: your infant seat is made to be used without the base. Say what?! Yep. Those hook-like protrusions on top of the carrier about where the child's thighs are hold the lap-portion of the seat belt. You can use those belt guides to install your infant seat on the plane! And in cars! (Did I just knock you over with a feather?) OK, so it's old news to some folks who have been around, but I come across a lot of parents who don't know that little factoid. If you're not up on your baseless installations, see Kecia's recommended carseats for airplanes blog where she demonstrates how to do it. Impress your friends and stun your neighbors—share that news! And leave the heavy base at home while you travel.
If you prefer, or if your babe is bigger, you can use a rear-facing convertible on the plane too. I know you're wondering how it's going to fit because *your* knees don't fit in between the plane's rows, but it will. If you're flying with a newborn, you'll want to choose a row where you can have the carseat more reclined—buy the extra legroom row or pay for the A1-15 boarding passes so you can board first and get the best seats. Otherwise your rear-facer will be pretty upright AND the person in front won't be able to recline. Too bad, so sad. In today's flying environment, no one is comfortable. It's a fact of life. You can offer to buy a snack or a drink if they look hostile to smooth feelings over.
When you fly, you want lightweight and narrow. Sure, you can drag a carseat on wheels through the airport, but you have to heft it over the plane seats to your row while guiding your kid and carrying your luggage. Anything over about 15 lbs. is going to feel gargantuan, especially if you have connections to make.
Cosco Scenera NEXT: 5-40 lbs. RF, 22-40 lbs. FF. It weighs just 7 lbs. (lighter than some infant seats!) and installs very easily both rear- and forward-facing. It's a short seat so it will fit nicely RF on the plane and in small rental cars. It must be used RF until at least age 2 and even fits newborns well. The Cons? It's a small seat, so kiddos will outgrow it quickly and some parents will see the age requirement of rear-facing until age 2 as a disadvantage (even though we see it as a bare bones minimum around here).
Combi Coccoro: 3-33 lbs. RF, 20-40 lbs. FF. The Coccoro is small and light at 11 lbs., which makes it ideal for travel. Because it's short, like the Scenera NEXT, it will fit nicely rear-facing on an airplane seat. It's a feature-rich convertible that acts somewhat like an infant seat because of its size and the way it installs. The downsides? It's a small seat, so kids will outgrow it quickly and it can be complex to install in a vehicle. Plus the price tag is around $200 which is a lot for a travel seat that is hardly bigger than many infant seats.
Ev enflo SureRide: 5-40 lbs. RF, 22-65 lbs. FF. It weighs only 9.7 lbs. and will fit newborns well too. The SureRide is also narrow and is a very tall seat; so tall, in fact, that this convertible is often recommended for preschoolers instead of a combination seat that converts to a booster. Because of its height, it won't be able to be reclined all the way unless you're flying in first class, but it's still a great travel seat. Its Cons? It has only one recline angle for rear-facing, so in small rental vehicles, be ready to eat the dashboard.
Evenflo Tribute: 5-40 lbs. RF, 20-40 lbs. FF. This is another seat that's pretty short, like the Scenera NEXT, and it's lightweight at 9.2 lbs. The downsides to the Tribute: It's a little bit more difficult to install than the NEXT in that you have to remember to flip the recline foot forward and backward depending on how you're installing it and it won't fit newborns well because the bottom harness slots are high and the crotch buckle strap is long.
Safety 1st Guide 65: 5-40 lbs. RF, 22-65 lbs. FF. It's a versatile seat, like the SureRide. It has tall top harness slots and an EPS foam-lined headrest. The Guide 65 is 11.3 lbs—still pretty lightweight for a convertible. Cons? The bottom harness slots are very high, so it won't fit a baby until they are several months old, and the headrest is adjusted separately from the harness height. The Guide 65 also has a tendency to over-recline over time as you use it.
Evenflo Maestro: 22-50 lbs. FF with harness, 40-110 lbs. and at least age 4 as booster. This is a lightweight combination seat that weighs 10 lbs. and has tall harness slots. It's an easy carseat to use on the plane and at your destination and in a pinch, can be used as a booster for your child if he's old enough. The Cons? The headrest isn't adjustable, so a child can easily outgrow this seat by height before weight when using it as a booster.
Evenflo SecureKid: 22-65 lbs. with harness, 40-110 lbs. and at least age 4 as booster. It weighs a bit more than the Maestro, coming in at 12.4 lbs., but the SecureKid is a better overall combination seat if you're buying a seat to use as your main seat. The harness slots are about the same as the Maestro, but the headrest is adjustable, so it makes a better booster seat. The downsides to the SecureKid? The harness is a little narrow at the shoulders, so it may bother some kids' necks.
IMMI GO: 22-55 lbs. This is another alternative seat that's been around for years, first as the SafeGuard Go Hybrid Booster then as the Safety 1st Go Hybrid Booster, and is a harnessed backless booster that requires a tether anchor for use with the harness, so it cannot be used on the plane. It packs down into a travel bag, weighs just 10 lbs., and easily fits into the overhead compartment of a 737. I recommend LATCH installation with this seat.
If your big kid is in a booster, I suggest bringing it along even though you won't be able to use it on the plane. After all, the physics that affect you at home, affect you on that delightful tropical isle and you don't want to be spending any time in an out-of-network hospital, do you? Nope.
If your child's booster is a high-back booster and the back comes off, you can pack the back in your main luggage for protection and carry on the base. Remember: boosters require lap/shoulder belts so they cannot be used on airplanes, so they get tucked under the seat in front or put in the overhead bin. A booster is a safety device: don't check it. Carseats don't count as carryon items (check with your airline—most don't count them), so it shouldn't be a problem. If you want a special travel booster, here are some suggestions since some are lighter than others.
BubbleBum: 40-100 lbs., 4-11 years. This is the *ultimate* travel booster. The BubbleBum is an inflatable booster that deflates and rolls up to fit inside it's own carry bag. It's obviously lightweight and fits in tight spaces. The downsides? It's very small, so "hippy" children won't fit well on it, and the belt guides can be a bit of a pain. It's also more expensive than the average backless booster, but because of its narrowness, some folks continue to use it in 3-across situations after their trips.
Cosco Ambassador: 40-100 lbs. This bare-bones booster costs less than $15 and is very lightweight. Cons? You'll definitely lose the armrest covers in the airport, so either take them off before traveling or tuck them in your luggage.
Harmony Youth Booster: 30-100 lbs. The Youth Booster is under 3 lbs. and narrow, so it fits in tight spaces well. It has lots of kid-friendly covers too all for under $13. Cons? Bigger kids may find this booster a little tight.
Safety 1st Boost-A-Pak: 40-80 lbs. This booster is a backpack booster rolled into one, which makes it a great travel item for a kid who likes to take adult-eyerolling kid stuff on a trip. There are a few requirements for this booster and I suggest you read our review to see what they are. The Boost-A-Pak weighs about 3.5 lbs., so it's still light enough for a child to load it down with good stuff on the plane. The Cons? It has a low 52" standing height limit, which is lower than many boosters.
Safety 1st Incognito Kid Positioner: 60-120 lbs. Yeah, we don't even like to call this a booster—it's a "kid positioner." Only the biggest kids rock this seat. The Incognito is one of our very favorites and it's one designed to get those kids who are too embarrassed to be seen in a booster to use a booster to the bitter end—the passing of the 5-Step Test. The Incognito is made of dense foam and weighs less than 1 lb., so it's highly portable. The downsides? It's not well-padded, but no booster really is since they're designed to keep a kid up and in position. The minimum weight limit is 60 lbs.—it's truly designed for bigger kids.
There are a few seats marketed specifically for travel, like the CARES Harness. The CARES Harness, 22-44 lbs. and at least age 1, is used only on an airplane seat in conjunction with the airplane seat belt. It's FAA-approved and folds up very small, so it fits quite easily into any carryon. It doesn't have a crotch strap, so wiggly kids can slide down underneath the lap belt, which can be a problem on longer flights when children get tired and want to adjust to sleep. You also don't have a carseat available for use at your destination (or maybe you do, in which case this can be a good purchase for you).
Diono Radians, Rainier, Pacifica, and Olympia: Radian RXT: 5-45 lbs. RF, 20-80 lbs. FF, 50-120 lbs. as booster; Rainier: 5-50 lbs. RF, 20-90 lbs. FF, 50-120 lbs. as booster; Pacifica: 5-50 lbs. RF, 20-90 lbs. FF, 50-120 lbs. as booster; Olympia: 5-45 lbs. RF, 20-70 lbs. FF, 50-110 lbs. as booster. These convertible carseats fold and a carrying strap can be purchased so you can sling the seat over one shoulder to carry it through the airport. The carseats do fold narrow enough to fit in an overhead bin, but size-wise would take up a good portion of the length of the bin, which would cause other travelers to no doubt give you the stink eye if you didn't use the seat on the plane. Why didn't they make the cut of our recommended seats above? The heaviest, the RXT and Rainier, weigh 26.5 lbs. 'Nuf said. When used rear-facing, these seats require a separate recline foot to be attached which causes them to sit very reclined—they won't fit between the standard rows of airplane seats unless you take another separate piece of foam with you called the Angle Adjuster. Even with the Angle Adjuster, it will be a tight fit. Don't forget to ask a flight attendant for a seat belt extender before trying to buckle the seat rear-facing or you won't be able to get the airplane seat belt unbuckled at your destination. The closed, narrow rear-facing belt path means you have to plan in advance. Forward-facing on the plane, they're awesome because they sit so low that the tray table can be used at its normal position. If you want to use your Diono seat onboard, go for it, but go to the airport with eyes wide open.
Lilly Gold Sit 'n' Stroll: Newborn-30 lbs. RF, 20-40 lbs. FF. This is a carseat that has retractable wheels! It can be used on the plane, in rental cars, in a restaurant as a booster seat! Use it as a stroller, use it as a carseat! That's what the claims are, but you have to install it each time and the seat belt goes over the top of the child both rear- and forward-facing. Very experienced techs have trouble getting a good install—will you, as an average parent, be able to install it well? It only has a 30 lbs. RF weight limit, which American babies outgrew 10 years ago. The carseat weighs 33 lbs., so imagine trying to push 33 lbs. of stroller plus a 30 lbs. kid with a so-so handle? And besides, you know the saying: Jack of all trades, master of none.
The Baby B'Air has been around for years and years, so I guess people continue to buy it. It's like a dog leash for your child that attaches to your seat belt. Does that sound safe? Nope. Don't buy it. Waste of money and dangerous as well should an incident occur.
Flyebaby Airplane Baby Comfort System: Doesn't this one look safe? Mom sure looks happy that her baby's head will slam down on her knees when the tray table opens suddenly when its lock fails. Seriously, save your money and CT scan for your babe by foregoing this purchase. Or beware the angry passenger who has to share the seat with the joyful kicking baby for a 2-3 hour flight. This might go down as the worst product ever.
OK, I've got my carseat picked out. How do I get it through the airport?
You have several choices for getting your carseat through the airport. You can strap it to a stroller, put it on a luggage cart, attach wheels, or put it in a backpack bag. Your goal here is to get the carseat and your family through the airport while maintaining your cool. Keep in mind that carseats must be scanned at the security checkpoint (Yes! You *will* be using it onboard the airplane, silly). Place it face down on the conveyor belt to allow it to fit through the machine and don't forget to empty your pockets.
You can use any luggage cart and even your suitcase if you want, but make sure it rolls nicely and the carseat won't slide off the edge when you go over bumps. Remember there are lots of bumps between your vehicle and the gate, your child will have a tummy bug, and you will inevitably be late. If you secure the carseat well enough, your child can even ride in the seat.
Britax Car Seat Travel Cart: Designed specifically to use the carseat's LATCH connectors to secure the carseat to the cart.
Go-Go Babyz Travelmate: This cart has straps that secure the carseat to the cart.
Traveling Toddler: This simple strap secures around your rolling carryon and uses your carseat's LATCH connectors to secure the carseat to your suitcase.
Go-Go Babyz Travelmate Car Seat Luggage Strap: Go-Go Babyz takes the Traveling Toddler idea and puts a ratchet on the end of the strap.
If you've found some great ideas for getting your carseat through the airport to the airplane, we'd love to hear them! We know that necessity is the mother of invention and we want to share any ways to keep our kids as safe in the air as we do on the ground.
I am looking for a booster seat that is lightweight, is easy to get and off a private plane, is easy to install in a bucket seat, is high quality and has high ratings for a 2 year old that weighs around 35 lbs. Do you have a brand & style that you would recommend? Or, a couple of different brands/styles?
Thanks for the article. I'll be travelling on my own with a 2.5 year old and planned to bring my Diono Radian RXT on the plane for our 5 hour flight. Reading this, I don't know if I can handle lugging it around. I'm thinking of two option. First, the Britax luggage cart you list might be a good way to wheel her through the airport AND transport the seat, but it's the same price as a Cosco Scenera Next. Maybe it would be easier to just buy that seat and strap it to the travel stroller. I'll admit, I don't relish the idea of installing the Diono in the rental either. Any advice on which way I should go?
Either will definitely work, Beth, and the NEXT will be easier to install. The RXT might be able to nest inside the stroller as well, though.
Any thoughts on travelling on Southwest Airlines alone with 4 year old twins? I am going back & forth on whether to use their Diono Radian RXTs (SO heavy) or SecureKid DXLs (will 2 fit side by side, plus me?) We also have 2 Graco Size4Mes, but I know those are probably the worst to take. I plan to use a luggage cart to move through the airport, but was concerned about that rolling down the aisle too.
Hi Sara. If you have a direct flight, I would take the RXTs since they'll roll down the aisle on a cart. I'm not sure the SecureKids will. If you can, purchase the Early-Bird Check-In so you'll get an A number for boarding. Southwest, if you haven't flown them before, doesn't do family boarding until between A and B boarding, so by getting an A number, you'll be able to get on board earlier to get more time to install the seats and get settled. You'll be able to install the carseats in the window and middle seats; the issue is with adult passengers being able to exit the plane in an emergency over carseats, so they need to be out of the way.
Great blog. Very useful info. We are traveling with our daughter who will be 1yo in May, it's a 10hr long haul flight. We have a Diono Pacifica seat which we will use. Did I read above that this car seat should be used forward facing as it is unlikely to fit in an economy seat? And that the benefits of RF on airplanes are greatly reduced since side impacts are unlikely? I would have thought it would be deceleration that poses the greatest risk and therefore RF is better? Although since the most likely accident is from in-flight turbulence – is it fair to assume that as long as they are strapped in the direction is less important?
Our daughter is tall (31in) and she is already 24 lbs at 9 months, so it seems that she fits in the size range for the Pacifica that allows her to face forward.
Thanks, Alex. Yes, you're right that the Pacifica is unlikely to fit well RF on the plane, though there is greater pitch on long haul flights. I still think it might be tight and definitely won't allow the person in front to recline.
In airplane travel, the greatest risks are from turbulence and runway incidents. My experience with long haul flights is that there tends to be quite a bit of turbulence, surprisingly. You can try to install the Pacifica RF on the plane when you board, but if it doesn't fit, then install it FF. As long as you aren't late boarding, you'll have plenty of time.
Hi! We are flying on Friday and we have the comfort seats on Delta that offer more leg room. We have purchased a seat for our 15 mon old and I wanted to take his Graco 4ever since we will be doing some driving once we arrive at our destination. Will we have a problem with this seat on the plane? We don't fly often so I hate to buy another seat if we can make this one work. But if we need to, we can. I just want my son to be comfortable on our 2.5 hr car ride. Thanks!
I've read mostly that the Britax Advocate and similar car seats are too wide to fit today's airplanes.
I don't mind rolling the Britax on a cart through the airport. However, I am very concerned that when trying to put it in the airplane seat, I will run into fitting issues as it is so big and heavy, while asking some stranger to keep an eye on my kid.
What would you have me do? Get a lighter car seat such as COSCO Scenera?
Alon, I would get a lighter seat personally–either a Scenera NEXT, which is super easy to carry around and install or a Graco Contender, which is also relatively lightweight and easy to install. The Advocate will fit in the airline seat, but the issue is that it will encroach on your shoulder space and make it uncomfortable for you. If you're doing long-haul flights, that'll be pure misery. If you do buy another carseat for your trip, make sure you're familiar with using a locking clip to install it since Britax seats have built-in lockoffs and seats like the Scenera NEXT and the Contender don't. Vehicles made outside the U.S./Canada may not have locking seat belts, in which case you'll need to use a locking clip.


This is an official Hattrick Editorial originally published in 2015-05-04 13:29:00.
The match engine is in focus on the development roadmap for Hattrick. More balanced tactics and less extreme results are two things that managers can look forward to. Other than that we can also look forward to plenty of new features for our mobile apps, including the much desired forum support. We are also working on a new tournament format which will be exclusive to Supporters.
The two general goals of all our recent development have been to improve mobile access to the game and to improve the competitive structure of the game, to ensure that Hattrick is a game where every match, and every decision, counts. These continue to be key ambitions for us, but now we would like to add a new focal point for our development, and that is to start looking at how we can improve the quality of the match simulation itself.
1. More balanced tactics. No tactic should ever become so powerful that it becomes an obvious choice. Today, there are some examples of this, and the most common example of this being the power of wing attack versus the power of central attack. We will make a series of changes, some small and others more considerable, that will open up more possibilities for teams to express themselves through tactics and training. Details of this will follow in a separate announcement before the start of next season.
2. More realistic results. Hattrick is essentially a game of probabilities, a dice game in which you work to improve your chances, but where chance always plays a role. This is key to making the game fun and interesting. "Any team can win the match, but the best team almost always wins the series". Even so, with time, we feel that as teams and skills have progressed, the general perception of how matches play out have changed for the worse. It is more common today than let's say 10 years ago to feel that a match result was "too random" or just "inexplicable". The reason for this is not any change in the match engine, but it is caused by how the game world has evolved. The average age of teams in Hattrick is getting quite high, and as teams mature they also get more powerful, which means more and more teams cluster around very high average ratings. This in itself does not make the game more random, but it does change the dynamic of matches and seems to lead to more extreme results as well. We want to reverse this trend and start a move towards more predictable, "realistic" match outcomes - and also, we think, more fun ones. This will be a careful change that will likely play out as a series of smaller steps over the course of the next several seasons.
3. Better transparency. For some years now, we have tried to "demystify" the game in areas where the mystery no longer serves a purpose (or may even be misleading). The other side of this coin is that we also try to actively explain or even nudge users in the right direction through tutorials, suggesting recommended lineups for newbies, the new mentoring system and so on. We will continue in this direction. One example is that we will start showing all events during a match (today some missed goal events do not show in match reports).
The Cup system released last summer has been a huge success. We can very clearly see that it has increased the likelihood that users stay active and in the game through out the season. We are working on something completely new along these lines, this time it will be an exclusive tournament cup event for all our Supporters, to take place in the off-season. This will be a different experience in many ways - it will be more intensive than our regular Cups, completely international, and offer plenty of fun surprises for all participants along the way. The tournament will of course not give Supporters any in-game advantages in regular Hattrick, but we hope it will be a great experience anyway.
We are also working on ways to improve the communication between users on the site. We think some aspects of the Hattrick site need to be modernised, and the messaging capabilities is one of these. We want to make it easier to find your friends when they are online and easier to communicate in general, and we hope to show some features along these lines later in the year as well - at the earliest this autumn.
Since we took Hattrick back in the autumn of 2013, we may have scaled down the number of developers, but at the same time we have managed to become a lot more productive. There are simply more new features being developed now than there have been in a long time, and the main reason for this is that we are able to stay focused on doing things that we think will actually matter, both for users and for us as a business.
We think this is mainly good, but one consequence is that we now spend less time on the forums. This means less opportunity to discuss what we are working on and less time brainstorming new ideas directly with users. We still follow the forums and we learn a lot from them about what the game needs, but we think that, in the long run, we serve you better by talking less about new features and spending more time building them.
The flip side of this is that we feel more confident nowadays about what we can get done, and that we can get it done on time. It also means we are more comfortable sharing our plans with you. So from now on, we will want to keep you all in the loop by presenting an updated roadmap at the start of every new season.
These roadmap editorials really are the best way for you to listen in on where Hattrick is going. This is where we will officially announce concrete new features that we are working on and this is where we will preview important upcoming changes to the match engine. If a feature is in here, it is our absolute intention to deliver on it. When a new roadmap is released, we will be around to talk about it in the forums of course, but don't expect concrete news on our development plans between roadmaps, because then we will be busy working on what we already promised.
That is it for now. We look forward to the next year of Hattrick development! Did you know Hattrick turns 18 years old this August? Thank you for your time and for being here in Hattrick with us.

Q: PHP/MySQL Inserting In Wrong Column Wrote my code to work with a specific .cvs format and it was working for the format of the files I had.  Now the format of the .cvs file has changed.
So now it looks like everything is inserting but it has shifted over.  More specifically everything has moved over one whole column to the right.
I was able to modify the code to make it move further over to the right, but I was unsuccessful at moving it to the left.
Here the part of my code that is having issues:
if($deleteSuccess == 1){

    echo "Now inserting all new records";
    $handle = fopen($target_file, "r");
    $count = 0;
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 0, ",")) !== FALSE) {
      $name = $data[0];

Thanks.

A: If everything has moved over 1 column to the right, then the data that used to be in $data[0], $data[1], etc. is now in $data[1], $data[2], etc. To get insert data the same as you used to, you should not be doing anything with $data[0], because that's the new field that was added to the CSV file but doesn't correspond to the old format.
So it should be:
  $correct0 = str_replace("'", "", $data[1]);
  $correct1 = str_replace("'", "", $data[2]);
  $correct2 = str_replace("'", "", $data[3]);
  $correct3 = str_replace("'", "", $data[4]);
  $correct4 = str_replace("'", "", $data[5]);
  $correct5 = str_replace("'", "", $data[6]);
  $correct6 = str_replace("'", "", $data[7]);
  $correct7 = str_replace("'", "", $data[8]);

Chain of Gold (The Last Hours #1)
Author: Cassandra Clare
That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But, it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.
—Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
DAYS PAST: 1897
Lucie Herondale was ten years old when she first met the boy in the forest.
Growing up in London, Lucie had never imagined a place like Brocelind. The forest surrounded Herondale Manor on all sides, its trees bent together at the tops like cautious whisperers: dark green in the summer, burnished gold in the fall. The carpeting of moss underfoot was so green and soft that her father told her it was a pillow for faeries at night, and that the white stars of the flowers that grew only in the hidden country of Idris made bracelets and rings for their delicate hands.
James, of course, told her that faeries didn't have pillows, they slept underground and they stole away naughty little girls in their sleep. Lucie stepped on his foot, which meant that Papa swept her up and carried her back to the house before a fight could erupt. James came from the ancient and noble line of Herondale, but that didn't mean he was above pulling his little sister's plaits if the need arose.
Late one night the brightness of the moon woke Lucie. It was pouring into her room like milk, laying white bars of light over her bed and across the polished wood floor.
She slipped out of bed and climbed through the window, dropping lightly to the flower bed underneath. It was a summer night and she was warm in her nightdress.
The edge of the forest, just past the stables where their horses were kept, seemed to glow. She flitted toward it like a small ghost. Her slippered feet barely disturbed the moss as she slid in between the trees.
She amused herself at first by making chains of flowers and hanging them from branches. After that she pretended she was Snow White fleeing from the huntsman. She would run through the tangled trees and then turn dramatically and gasp, putting the back of her hand to her forehead. "You will never slay me," she said. "For I am of royal blood and will one day be queen and twice as powerful as my stepmother. And I shall cut off her head."
It was possible, she thought later, that she had not remembered the story of Snow White entirely correctly.
Still, it was very enjoyable, and it was on her fourth or fifth sprint through the woods that she realized she was lost. She could no longer see the familiar shape of Herondale Manor through the trees.
She spun around in a panic. The forest no longer seemed magical. Instead the trees loomed above like threatening ghosts. She thought she could hear the chatter of unearthly voices through the rustle of leaves. The clouds had come out and covered the moon. She was alone in the dark.
Lucie was brave, but she was only ten. She gave a little sob and began to run in what she thought was the right direction. But the forest only grew darker, the thorns more tangled. One caught at her nightdress and ripped a long tear in the fabric. She stumbled—
And fell. It felt like Alice's fall into Wonderland, though it was much shorter than that. She tumbled head over heels and hit a layer of hard-packed dirt.
With a whimper, she sat up. She was lying at the bottom of a circular hole that had been dug into the earth. The sides were smooth and rose several feet above the reach of her arms.
She tried digging her hands into the dirt that rose on every side of her and climbing up it the way she might shinny up a tree. But the earth was soft and crumbled away in her fingers. After the fifth time she'd tumbled from the side of the pit, she spied something white gleaming from the sheer side of the dirt wall. Hoping it was a root she could climb up, she bounded toward it and reached to grasp it.…
Soil fell away from it. It wasn't a root at all but a white bone, and not an animal's…
"Don't scream," said a voice above her. "It'll bring them."
She threw her head back and stared. Leaning down over the side of the pit was a boy. Older than her brother, James—maybe even sixteen years old. He had a lovely melancholy face and straight black hair without a hint of curl. The ends of his hair almost touched the collar of his shirt.
"Bring who?" Lucie put her fists on her hips.
"The faeries," he said. "This is one of their pit traps. They usually use them to catch animals, but they'd be very pleased to find a little girl instead."
Lucie gasped. "You mean they'd eat me?"
He laughed. "Unlikely, though you could find yourself serving faerie gentry in the Land Under the Hill for the rest of your life. Never to see your family again."
He wiggled his eyebrows at her.
"Don't try to scare me," she said.
"I assure you, I speak only the perfect truth," he said. "Even the imperfect truth is beneath me."
"Don't be silly, either," she said. "I am Lucie Herondale. My father is Will Herondale and a very important person. If you rescue me, you will be rewarded."
"A Herondale?" he said. "Just my luck." He sighed and wriggled closer to the edge of the pit, reaching his arm down. A scar gleamed on the back of his right hand—a bad one, as if he had burned himself. "Up you go."
She grasped his wrist with both her hands and he hauled her up with surprising strength. A moment later they were both standing. Lucie could see more of him now. He was older than she'd thought, and formally dressed in white and black. The moon was out again and she could see that his eyes were the color of the green moss on the forest floor.
"Thank you," she said, rather primly. She brushed at her nightdress. It was quite ruined with dirt.
"Come along, now," he said, his voice gentle. "Don't be frightened. What shall we talk about? Do you like stories?"
"I love stories," said Lucie. "When I grow up, I am going to be a famous writer."
"That sounds wonderful," said the boy. There was something wistful about his tone.
They walked together through the paths under the trees. He seemed to know where he was going, as if the forest was very familiar to him. He must be a changeling, Lucie thought wisely. He knew a great deal about faeries, but was clearly not one of them: he had warned her about being stolen away by the Fair Folk, which must be what had happened to him. She would not mention it and make him feel awkward; it must be dreadful to be a changeling, and to be taken far away from your family. Instead she engaged him in a discussion about princesses in fairy tales, and which one was the best. It hardly seemed any time at all before they were back in the garden of Herondale Manor.
"I imagine this princess can make her own way back into the castle from here," he said with a bow.
"Oh, yes," said Lucie, eyeing her window. "Do you think they'll know I was gone?"
He laughed and turned to go. She called after him when he reached the gates.
"What's your name?" she said. "I told you mine. What's yours?"
He hesitated for a moment. He was all white and black in the night, like an illustration from one of her books. He swept a bow, low and graceful, the kind knights had once made.

ECHR: The pre-trial detention of a judge breached the Convention
Ιn its judgment (3.3.2020) in the case of Baş v. Turkey (application no. 66448/17) the European Court of Human Rights held: by six votes to one, that there had been a violation of Article 5 § 1 (right to liberty and security) of the European Convention on Human Rights as regards the alleged unlawfulness of the applicant's initial pre-trial detention; unanimously, that there had been a violation of Article 5 § 1 of the Convention on account of the lack of reasonable suspicion, at the time of the applicant's initial pre-trial detention, that he had committed an offence, and unanimously, that there had been a violation of Article 5 § 4 (right to speedy review of the lawfulness of detention) on account of the length of the period during which the applicant had not appeared in person before a judge.
The case concerned the pre-trial detention of Mr Baş, a judge at the time, following the attempted coup of 15 July 2016. The Court found that according to the case-law of the Court of Cassation, a suspicion of membership of a criminal organisation could be sufficient to characterise the element of in flagrante delicto without the need to establish any current factual element or any other indication of an ongoing criminal act.
Accordingly, the Court concluded that the national courts' extension of the scope of the concept of in flagrante delicto and their application of domestic law, namely section 94 of Law no. 2802, were not only problematic in terms of legal certainty, but also appeared manifestly unreasonable.
The Court found that the mere reference by the Kocaeli magistrate's court to the decision taken by the Council of Judges and Prosecutors on 16 July 2016 to suspend 2,735 judges and prosecutors was insufficient to support the conclusion that there had been a reasonable suspicion justifying the pretrial detention of this particular judge.
The evidence before the Court did not warrant the conclusion that there had been a reasonable suspicion against the applicant at the time of his initial detention. Thus, while accepting the Constitutional Court's conclusion in a separate case that the measures implemented in the aftermath of the coup attempt could be said to have been strictly required for the protection of public safety, the Court observed that in the present case Mr Baş had not appeared before a court for approximately one year and two months, a much longer period than the one previously assessed by the Constitutional Court.

Q: Keyboard issue for EditText I have a Dialog in which I am having a EditText.
Issues which I am facing are:
1). When Dialog is shown at that moment Keyboard does not come itself. So I had to programmatically bring keyboard up.
InputMethodManager immOnResume = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(
                                        Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                        immOnResume.showSoftInput(mEditText,
                                InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);

2). When pressing home button keyboard is still visible in Home screen. I think as I am programmatically bringing keyboard up then I have to programmatically hide keyboard.
InputMethodManager immN = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(
                                    Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    immN.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
                            mEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

But these also isn't working.
Any suggestions how can I solve my issue.

A: Try
getWindow().setSoftInputMode (WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);

A: You can use myedittext.requestFocus()
The keyboard will automatically vanish when activity is destroyed.

A: If your UI is written in XML, you might consider adding the requestFocus tag:
<EditText ...>
    <requestFocus />
</EditText>

That should trigger the focus on your EditText field when your dialog opens, which in turn should open your keyboard.
If, however, your UI is done programatically
editText.requestFocus()
