Bug #67566 [NEW]: escape parameter in fgetcsv() is always ignored

From: sebastian dot schmidt at meap dot de Operating system: Debian 6.0.7 PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Filesystem function related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:escape parameter in fgetcsv() is always ignored Description: ------------ It seem that the 5th parameter $escape in fgetcsv() function is completly ignored when executing the function. I tested the script on 3 different minor php version (5.3.5, 5.4.11 ans 5.5.7) all with the same result. If you try to set the escape character to any other character than " (double-quote) php totally ignores the parameter and still uses the double-quote. Also this behavior show that the default escape character, which should be the backslash as outlined in the documentation, is the double-quote. Test script: --------------- <?php $fileContents = <<<EOD "quote \"testing\"","" "quote ""testing""","" "quote \,testing\,","" EOD; $handle = fopen('php://memory', 'w'); fwrite($handle, $fileContents); fseek($handle, 0); while(!feof($handle)) { $test = fgetcsv($handle, 0, ',', '"', '\\'); print_r($test); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => quote "testing" [1] => ) Array ( [0] => quote ""testing"" [1] => ) Array ( [0] => quote \,testing\, [1] => ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => quote \"testing\" [1] => ) Array ( [0] => quote "testing" [1] => ) Array ( [0] => quote \,testing\, [1] => ) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67566&edit=1 --
