 New Comment:

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

I'm unable to reproduce it with a simple scripts neither with 5.2.6 nor
with 5.3.0-dev.

If you have csv file: 

name,price
James,£150

fgetcsv() will remove the £.

All other chars seem to be fine.

I have searched forums for an answer to this and there are a few
people
reporting the same - but no definitive answer.


In addition - this is only if the £ character in the first char in a
"cell".  This would work fine: 

name,price
James,1£50
