fgetcsv() seems to throw the first character away if it is invalid in the current locale, but
ignores invalid characters which are not at the beginning of a cell. This code reproduces the
problem in PHP 5.3.6:
<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL,'C');
$utfchar = chr(0xC3).chr(0x89); // U+009C in UTF-8
$csv = $utfchar."x".$utfchar."x\n";
file_put_contents('test.csv', $csv);
$file = fopen('test.csv', 'r');
$data = fgetcsv($file);
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($data[0]); $i++) {
echo dechex(ord($data[0][$i])).' ';
}
echo "\n";
unlink('test.csv');
// expected: c3 89 78 c3 89 78 - "ÃxÃx"
// actual: 78 c3 89 78 - "xÃx"
?>
I agree with the commenter in bug 12127 that a CSV function should not mess with encodings in the
first place, just copy the content byte-by-byte.

based on [mk at kurznet dot com]
a change of the locale information helps.
setlocale(LC_ALL,'de_DE.8859-1');
setting the locale information to a unicode or UTF locale names will lose the first letters.

if have the same problem with php 5.2.6
the csv file looks like this: äüö123äüö;auo123äüö
$handle = fopen($path."Mappe3.csv","r");
while ($data = fgetcsv ($handle, 4096, ";")) {
print_r($data);
}
fclose ($handle);
Array
(
[0] => 123äüö
[1] => auo123äüö
)
with PHP 5.2.5 and 4.4.8 everything is ok ?
is this a bug or a feature ?

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.
