Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-11 14:09:01] richard at roguewavelimited dot com 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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69800&edit=1
