Bug #69800 [NEW]: fgetcsv ignores empty trailing field with tab delimiter

From: richard at roguewavelimited dot com Operating system: Mac OS X PHP version: 5.5.25 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:fgetcsv ignores empty trailing field with tab delimiter Description: ------------ Using a tab delimiter with fgetcsv, if the last field of a row is empty, then that field is not included in the returned fields. (Actually in my tests, there can be any number of tabs following the last non-empty data field and all will be ignored.) For example: Correct: 1<tab>2<tab>3 returns array("1","2","3") Wrong: 1<tab>2<tab> returns array("1","2") should be returned as array("1","2","") If you perform this same test using commas as delimiters it works as expected. Test script: --------------- Paste this into a new file (be sure to include the trailing tab): T17492-RB "Delta Faucets" Change the data file name and run this script. The echo should show 3 but shows 2 $fh = fopen('the_data_file','r'); $fields = fgetcsv($fh, 999999, "\t", '"', "\\"); echo (count($fields)); -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69800&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69800&r=mysqlcfg
