#39538 [NEW]: fgetcsv can't handle starting newlines and trailing odd number of backslashes

From: mike at opendns dot com Operating system: Linux, debian sarge PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Bug description: fgetcsv can't handle starting newlines and trailing odd number of backslashes Description: ------------ Two issues when reading in data from a CSV with fgetcsv(): If an element in a CSV file begins with a newline, fgetcsv() will think there's two newlines there. If an element in a CSV file ends with an odd number of trailing backslashes, it'll miss the enclosure character. This isn't a documentation problem - http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt Backslashes are not escape characters in CSV. Reproduce code: --------------- mikef@dev9:~$ cat -A /tmp/csv.tmp "$ two seperate issues: string begins with a newline, ends with odd number of backslashes \\\","and isnt the last element"$ mikef@dev9:~$ cat test_cvs.php <?php $tmp_file = '/tmp/csv.tmp'; $h = fopen($tmp_file, 'r'); $data_read_in = fgetcsv($h); fclose($h); var_dump($data_read_in); ?> Expected result: ---------------- mikef@dev9:~$ php test_cvs.php array(2) { [0]=> string(92) " two seperate issues: string begins with a newline, ends with odd number of backslasshes \\\" [1]=> string(25) "and isnt the last element" } Actual result: -------------- mikef@dev9:~$ php test_cvs.php array(1) { [0]=> string(121) " two seperate issues: string begins with a newline, ends with odd number of backslashes \\\",and isnt the last element"" } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39538&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39538&r=mysqlcfg
