Your example uses a strange delimeter. First, it contains multiple characters. Second, it contains non-ASCII characters. The documentation says that the delimeter should be one character. When I try your example, the lines are not split at all, so I can not reproduce the problem. Can you reproduce the problem with an ASCII-delimeter consisting of multiple characters? Can you reproduce the problem with a delimiter which is a single non-ASCII character? Can you still reproduce the problem with the latest PHP version? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-02 13:53:59] php-bugs at christoph-jeschke dot de # php -v PHP 5.2.7RC3-dev (cli) (built: Nov 2 2008 14:49:46) Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologie Returns: array(3) { [0]=> string(7) "line1f1" [1]=> string(7) "line1f2" [2]=> string(7) "line1f3" } array(3) { [0]=> string(7) "line2f1" [1]=> string(7) "line2f2" [2]=> string(7) "line2f3" } array(2) { [0]=> string(7) "line3f1" [1]=> string(7) "line3f3" } The empty field is still omitted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-02 09:26:57] php-bugs at christoph-jeschke dot de Description: ------------ Since PHP5, fgetcsv() omits empty fields instead returning a empty string as did in PHP4.
