I added your data to my test (without the quotes and line break, of course) and I can confirm that issue. I changed the summary accordingly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-15 19:49:51] mark dot mccray at tbwachiat dot com Same issue on Mac OS X 10.6.7 running PHP ver 5.3.4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-15 19:40:41] mark dot mccray at tbwachiat dot com Forgot to add that we are on hp-ux 11.11i. Php ver 5.2.4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-15 19:40:08] mark dot mccray at tbwachiat dot com I'm posting a comment here instead of a bug because I feel we may be encountering the same issue. My problem is that fgetcsv seems to trim whitespace at the beginning of any field -- not just at the beginning of a record. In a record (our files are separated by a pipe symbol): "001|00005964_154|OGLCV|003| 174699|USD|0326049|Corporation||000000|11/03/27||11/04/14|1|MPY||CP" The field " 174699" gets inserted into the array as "174699". We are expecting the leading whitespace to not be trimmed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
